TapNLink Primer NFC-BLE


Description

TapNLink Primer evaluation kit for implementing TnL-FIR103 modules with BLE and NFC for interfaces connecting MCU-based electronic systems to mobile devices and the Cloud.

With TapNLink Primer, it takes just minutes for system designers to create their first IoT proofs-of-concept. This Primer connects microcontroller-based systems to mobile devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Near Field Communication * (NFC) interface. Using a mobile device as a gateway, the Primer also transfers data from the target MCU application to a provisioned and pre-configured IoT service platform on the Cloud.

The Primer connects to a target MCU using only 2 GPIO and either:

  • Serial protocol (S3P - Sofware Secure Serial Protocol) **
  • SWD (debug) protocol for ARM Cortex M-based microcontrollers

The Primer implements by configuration only. There is no coding or hardware to design. Just specify the variables in the target MCU application to access, set access rights and display parameters. The Primer's configuration software, IoTize Studio, automatically generates the HMI for your mobiles (Android or iOS) and prepares the Cloud environment to log data for the selected variables.

In just minutes, you can connect a mobile to your microcontroller application, read and write data from a custom mobile HMI app and view logged data on the Cloud.

Notes:
*      TapNLink Primer implements the STMicroelectronics' ST25DV dynamic NFC tag. More information about ST25DV...
**    S3P enables connection to any microcontroller, regardless of its architecture.

Security Features

  • Configurable access profiles 
  • Configurable, encrypted passwords
  • Configurable BLE pairing by NFC

Mobile Platform Support

  • HTML5 web apps
  • Cordova-based hybrid apps (native, Java)
  • Automatic app generation (Android, iOS)

Primer Contents

  • 1x    TapNLink wireless module (Wi-Fi, BLE, NFC interfaces)
  • 1x    ABS plastic cover
  • 1x    Six-probe connection cable
  • 1x    STM32 sample application board and software

FREE Supporting Software

  • IoTize Studio configuration software for Windows PCs
  • Tap Manager app for mobile devices (Android, iOS)
  • Server-based automatic app generation tools (Android)
  • Cloud Primer platform (provisioned, pre-configured)
  • Arduino Tap library for Arduino integration (on GitHub)
  • MQTT relay (open source)

The TapNLink Primer also includes sample microcontroller application firmware for all STM32 microcontrollers and an accompanying Sensor Demo app for Android and iOS mobiles to help you get started.
