ClarinoxBlue

ClarinoxBlue^™, the most comprehensive Bluetooth^® stack solution in the embedded market

ClarinoxBlue™ protocol stack was designed by embedded developers for embedded developers. With a simple and flexible approach, the ClarinoxBlue protocol stack enables you to spend more time on your application rather than the inner workings of Bluetooth technology. Designed for Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), our solution addresses the main issues confronted by engineers in Bluetooth projects; lack of flexibility, increasing complexity, and difficulty of debugging. The ClarinoxBlue protocol stack excels in flexibility and portability, can successfully manage complexity, and simplify debugging efforts, making your next Bluetooth project a whole lot easier!

Flexible: ClarinoxBlue is designed exclusively for the development of embedded Bluetooth applications. The stack handles complex applications utilizing both multiple profiles and multiple local Bluetooth devices.

Portable: The ClarinoxBlue Bluetooth protocol stack is contained within the ClarinoxSoftFrame™ portable framework, allowing users to develop their applications using C/C++ on a desktop environment (Microsoft Visual Studio or GNU tools) and move directly to the target platform with confidence of compatibility. Combined with the compactness of the protocol stack, this enables use with a number of architectures.

Simple API: ClarinoxBlue API greatly reduces application development times. For most applications, the code written based upon ClarinoxBlue will only be one third of the number of lines required for other stacks.

Clarinox Bluetooth Low-Energy Stack (and the new Core Spec. 5.1)

Clarinox Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Stack has evolved over time to support all major GATT-based profiles & services as well as Mesh networking capabilities. The newly released Bluetooth Core Specification v5.1, from the Bluetooth SIG, provides exciting new developments to the Bluetooth community. Bluetooth 5.1 has added the major feature of direction finding, using Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD), to enhance outdoor and primarily indoor location services.

Clarinox BLE recognizes the addition of AoA & AoD direction finding as an important feature to bring to customers who require Real-Time Locating Services (RTLS), Asset Tracking, and Indoor Positioning Services.

Clarinox Bluetooth Mesh

The Clarinox Bluetooth Low-Energy stack incorporates the latest in mesh networking capabilities, allowing users to create a large-scale network of Bluetooth LE devices communicating to each other in a many-to-many configuration.

Clarinox Bluetooth Classic Stack

The Clarinox Bluetooth Classic stack is our tried & tested Bluetooth solution that has provided many of our customers with successful outcomes – we support most of the vast majority of Classic profiles that are available today.

Flexible: ClarinoxWiFi is designed exclusively for the development of embedded wireless LAN applications. The WLAN stack allows users to develop complex applications that support WiFi Station Mode, Access Point Mode, or Peer-to-Peer mode. The stack handles complex applications utilizing both multiple profiles and multiple local Bluetooth® devices, allowing an application to interact with several local Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

Portable: The ClarinoxWiFi WLAN protocol stack is contained within the ClarinoxSoftFrame™ portable framework, allowing users to develop their applications using C/C++ on different hardware and operating system platforms with confidence of compatibility. Combined with the compactness of the protocol stack, this enables use with a number of architectures.

Simple API: ClarinoxWiFi API greatly reduces application development times. The plain language style also facilitates faster test and debug cycles.

ClarinoxWiFi Stack: ClarinoxWiFi stack supports many common WiFi modes for embedded hardware such as Access Point (AP), Station (STA), Peer-to-Peer and WiFi Protected Setup (WPS). ClarinoxWiFi provides a set of APIs for initialization and de-initialization of the WLAN stack and another set of APIs for performing WLAN management operations, such as scanning for access points, connecting, etc. The data traffic is routed through a separate Network Stack Interface layer. ClarinoxWiFi supports many different TCP/IP stacks, i.e. LWIP, RTCS, NETX, Autosar.

For ensuring secure wireless connectivity, the stack supports WPA/WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise encryption protocols in station mode operation. It supports encryption protocols WPA/WPA2 Personal for applications using access point mode.

ClarinoxWiFi supports WLAN modules manufactured by Texas Instruments, Marvell and Realtek, i.e WL18xx family, WL12XX family, Mv88w8xxx family and RTL87xx family WLAN modules. The WLAN stack supports both SPI (1 bit SDIO) and SDIO communication interfaces to the WLAN hardware modules, with interface clock speeds as low as 500 kHz for low-speed, low-energy applications using Texas Instruments WL18xx chipsets.

The integrated ClariFi™ Debugger interface of the ClarinoxWiFi provides useful insights into the operation of the WLAN stack. This includes debug information spanning from low level WLAN module commands all the way up to TCPIP protocol message wireshark views.

 

ClariFi Debugger

ClariFi™ debugger and protocol analyzer: A game changer in wireless debugging.

Clarinox debug tools provide built-in protocol analyzer support for faster debugging of complex wireless devices. In addition it offers threading, memory usage, and memory leak analysis. Together, these tools support the tuning of applications and aid in the communication of issues. The user is able to add custom plug-ins as required with a console interface via a single physical medium.

ClariFi Debugger may be used in two distinct modes. First, as an advanced logger, and second, as an interactive tool to run required tests on the target device.

Interaction with the target device may be achieved via the Clarinox Lua debugging interface which enables Lua scripts to run in the ClariFi Debugger environment.

Users communicate possible issues by storing and exchanging debugger log files with their team members or with Clarinox.

Plug-ins can pass specific messages to the debug tools sent by the debug target. By defining plug-ins via the plug-in interface, flexibility is provided for developers to add their own debugging functionality.
