When developing any type of system, it is easy to encounter a contradiction (as in the case of Rule 22 of military regulations) where you need to test the product you have developed, but the other subsystems required to support your testing have not yet been developed. Whether it is a software system or a hardware product, the requirements are the same. You need a controller that can help verify different subsystems separately and validate their collective behavior at each stage of the development process.
For engineers developing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications, using the RSL10 USB adapter from ON Semiconductor can test the Bluetooth peripherals under development. The RSL10 USB adapter acts as a universal central device, capable of simulating anything a central application can do, thus enabling quick prototyping of BLE devices.
In addition to leveraging the industry’s lowest power consumption of the RSL10 radio (with a deep sleep mode of only 62.5 nanowatts (nW) and a peak receive power of 7 milliwatts (mW)), the RSL10 USB adapter is also Bluetooth 5 certified and complies with international wireless regulations.
BLE Explorer Software
The RSL10 USB adapter supports up to 4 connections, enabling developers to scan, connect to your peripherals, and interact wirelessly with them while monitoring and recording their behavior without having to wait for the entire system to be developed. This allows for early detection of design issues and correction of performance problems, thereby reducing overall design time and costs.
The RSL10 USB adapter is supported by the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Explorer software. BLE Explorer supports functionalities such as scanning and reading advertising data, reading and writing characteristics, and local device firmware updates.
