Rabbit-based applications now have even more ways to communicate. Rabbit Semiconductor has added Bluetooth® support for selected core modules, the BL2500 and the BL2600 single board computers. Based on the EmbeddedBlue™ eb506 AHC IN Bluetooth Radio Module from A7 Engineering, Bluetooth capability is available in a complete Application Kit or as an Add-On Kit.

All components of the Bluetooth stack are implemented on-board so additional host processor code is not required. Once a connection to another Bluetooth device has been established, the link has the appearance of a cabled serial connection eliminating the need for special wireless protocol knowledge. UART communication facilitates the interface between the host processor and the radio module. This UART interface may be used to discover, connect, and communicate with other Bluetooth devices. An LED indicator for connection status is provided as a standard feature.

Features and Benefits

* Bluetooth radio modules plug directly into supported RCMs and SBCs

* Simple serial UART communications and control

* Seamless connectivity with any Bluetooth device

* 2.4 GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology ensures high reliability and is robust to interference

* Low current consumption for long battery life

* Complete with sample applications and source code

* Internal surface-mount antenna

Bluetooth Application Kit

The Bluetooth Application Kit provides all of the hardware and software necessary to develop a Bluetooth application. The Application Kit includes an RCM3100, EmbeddedBlue eb506 AHC IN Bluetooth Radio Module, prototyping board, and miscellaneous cables and hardware. The Application Kit also includes the Dynamic C Integrated Development Environment, Bluetooth drivers, libraries, sample programs, and manuals.

Designing with RabbitCores

The RabbitCore family of microprocessor core modules is designed to facilitate rapid development and implementation of embedded systems. RabbitCores are powered by high-performance 8-bit Rabbit microprocessors with extensive integrated features and a C-friendly instruction set designed for use with the Dynamic C development system. The RabbitCore mounts on a user-designed motherboard and acts as the controlling microprocessor for the user's system. Small in size but packed with powerful features, these core modules give designers a complete package for control and communication. The integrated Ethernet port frees designers from the limitations of serial-port communications and control and permits instant local or worldwide connectivity using low-cost networking hardware. Embedded systems using the Ethernet RabbitCore module can be controlled and monitored (as well as programmed and debugged when using appropriate accessory hardware) across any network or the Internet.

Programming the RCM3100

Programs are developed using our industry-proven Dynamic C software development system. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, along with royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source.
