I've had good luck so far with nRF8001 based devices, and am currently using a BlueGiga BLE112 SoC to communicate with the iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1, with no issues. Loki I am assuming that not having to be part of the MFI program means you do not need the extra authentication hardware in the accessory is this correct? Basically, we make small coin-cell operated devices with not much free board space, and the idea of adding another IC is not promising for us .. we need to be able to use bluetooth we can fit on board and communicate, without any extra hardware needed .. if we use BLE, would we have to have the extra auth chip? (this could be a deal breaker for us) ------------------------------------------------ Ed Pataky email: epataky@pelagicnet.com Skype: espataky ________________________________________ From: bluetooth-dev-bounces+epataky=pelagicnet.com@lists.apple.com [bluetooth-dev-bounces+epataky=pelagicnet.com@lists.apple.com] on behalf of Glenn Bachmann [glenn@bachmannsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:17 PM To: robert carlsen Cc: bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: SPP No you do not.

I do not know where to start ... I am reading the design guide here: http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/BluetoothDesignGuidelines.pdf And I see no mention of the bluetooth serial port profile, so I assume it is not supported? How then do we create a device that can connect to an iphone, and send arbitrary data? ------------------------------------------------ Ed _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
