BlueGiga BLE Development Tools

I am looking through the BlueGiga BLE112 kit to do some BLE development for iOS.

I am switching from TI CC2540 keyfob kits because my IAR Embedded Workbench eval-license has expired (30 days) and this software is $ 2500 + for licensing.

I would like to know what tools are for writing code for BLE112; the website mentions “BG Script” and “BG Profile Tool”, but I can’t find information on what environment / licensing is for any of these tools. He also mentions the C code for "8051" (not sure what it is). What environment / compiler do I need to write for this code? Also, what are the terms of the license?

You can find more information in the support section of the Bluegiga website . After registering, you have access to additional documentation and to the software and tools provided by Bluegiga.

BGScript is a scripting language that runs on the BLE112 chip (which has several IOs and an ADC in addition to BLE radio).

In more complex situations, the BLE112 can be connected to the microcontroller via serial lines. The serial protocol is a proprietary protocol (BGAPI), which allows you to access all the functions of the chip (BLE, IO, ADC, ...). Bluegiga provides good documentation on this protocol and implementation of C (it is quite compact and implemented in standard C, so it should work in a variety of environments). For our application, we have developed a JAVA implementation that also works great.

It may be a little late, but I noticed that many people have problems with some BlueGiga APIs (in particular, the UART and I2C interfaces in their API 1.1).

I wrote a few posts here that cover some of the intricacies of using these two APIs: http://sureshjoshi.com/development/ble112-how-to-use-i2c/ and http://sureshjoshi.com/development/ble112-uart -watermarks-example /

Happy bluetooth!

If you upload the file I'm connected to, http://forum.mkroll.mobi/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=495 , you will see the build.bat file that the compiler calls, This should help.
