iWRAP Bluetooth Stack


iWRAP is an embedded Bluetooth stack firmware for Bluegiga's Bluetooth modules (WT32, WT12, WT11). It exposes a powerful but easy-to-use command interface to manage Bluetooth operations. iWRAP hides the complexity of Bluetooth protocol stack and profiles from the end user. A multitude of different Bluetooth profiles are supported and they are suitable for a wide variety of applications. iWRAP can be used for almost anything from simple data or audio applications to more complex use cases where interaction with several Bluetooth enabled devices are needed - or even multi-profile environments for simultaneous audio and data connections.

iWRAP Introduction Presentation |  Read what new features iWRAP4 will offer (now in beta phase)

Benefits:


  • A simple interface to the power of Bluetooth wireless technology
  • UART interface for iWRAP enables integration to almost any product
  • iWRAP runs inside the module, no need to run Bluetooth stack on the host system
  • Easy -to-understand commands and responses
  • A wide variety of Bluetooth profiles to make complex use-cases possible
  • All profiles are Bluetooth qualified
  • Easy to customise by Bluegiga Technologies
  • Ordering codes: iWRAP2= AI (e.g. WT11-A-AI), iWRAP3= AI3 (e.g. WT11-A-AI3)

Features:


The latest iWRAP3 firmware version offers the following Bluetooth profiles embedded into the module:

  • Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) : Sink and source modes
  • A/V Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) : AVRCP controller and target
  • Device Identification Profile (DI)
  • Serial Port Profile (SPP) : DevA and DevB
  • Hands-Free Profile (HFP) v.1.5 : HPF and HFP-AG modes
  • Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN) : Terminal emulation
  • Object Push Profile (OPP) : OPP server
  • Human Interface Device (HID) : HID device
  • Bluegiga IO Profile (BGIO)

Feature under development (iWRAP4):

  • Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) : PBAP client
  • Object Push Profile (OPP) : OPP client
  • File Trasfer Profile (FTP) : FTP client
  • Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP) : Sink and source modes
  • Headset profile v.1.2 (HSP) : HSP and HSP-AG modes
  • Message Access Profile (MAP) : MAP client
  • Secure Simple Pairing (SSP)


Applications:


  • Medical and healthcare: Support for Bluetooth Health Device Profile
  • Hands-Free audio: Hands-Free and Headset profile support. Optional echo cancellation and noise reduction algorithms available
