Bluegiga Technologies iWRAP Bluetooth accessories

Bluegiga Technologies has introduced the latest version of the iWRAP Bluetooth stack with enhanced connectivity for Apple’s range of iOS-enabled devices.

The firmware will allow developers to create Bluetooth accessories for devices such as the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

The stack incorporates two new features - Bluetooth modules with iWRAP can directly interface with the Apple authentication coprocessor and perform initial authentication of the Bluetooth connection and the stack implements Apple’s iAP protocol for communication between the iOS device and the Bluetooth-enabled accessory.

It also supports other Bluetooth profiles such as serial port profile, hands-free, A2DP, AVRCP, PBAP and HID, which can run simultaneously with the newly created iOS connectivity. It allows accessory manufacturers to create highly versatile devices.
