Embedded Bluetooth e WiFi
ClarinoxSoftFrame™
ClarinoxSoftFrame is a software development framework for embedded systems. SoftFrame enables the electronic engineering tasks associated with the development of wireless devices to be performed efficiently, and the outcome to be more robust. The Platform Interface guarantees the smooth porting of applications to different hardware. ClarinoxSoftFrame provides standard libraries, memory management functionality for deterministic execution on all platforms. Debug, trace and profiling functions improve the product quality and reduced time to market.
ClarinoxBlue™, embedded Bluetooth® protocol stack
ClarinoxBlue™ protocol stack was designed by embedded developers for embedded developers. Designed for Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), the stack handles complex applications utilising both multiple profiles and multiple local Bluetooth devices, allowing an application to interact with several local Bluetooth devices simultaneously. 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.
ClarinoxBlue provides a built-in protocol analyser as a debugging tool to simplify debugging of multi-profile and multi-technology applications. This tool is especially beneficial for highly complex applications such as forming complex networks.
Features
- Auracast™ Multi-Stream Audio and Broadcast Audio
- Dual-mode or single-mode Bluetooth/BLE stack options available
- Multiple simultaneous profiles
- Multiple simultaneous roles
- Separates applications from profiles
- Supports blocking and non-blocking API calls
- Enables single and multi-threaded applications
- Integrates command/response based APIs
- Suitable for applications in consumer, industrial, transport and health & medical devices
Clarinox Bluetooth Low-Energy Stack
Clarinox Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Stack has evolved over time to support all major GATT-based profiles & services as well as Mesh networking capabilities. With the help of our middlewares platform, we have made it easy for our customers to select and port to hardware that suits their needs.
Our thoughout stack architecture provides HCI interfacing for common Bluetooth protocols such as SDIO, UART 3-Wire, UART-BCSP, UART-H4 & USB. With our BLE stack comes the benefit of using ClariFi™ built-in protocol analyser and debugging tool for multi-profile and multi-threaded applications. This gives our customers the confidence to create highly complex Mesh Networks and multi-profile BLE applications, knowing that they have the support of a powerful debugging software.
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.
The ClarinoxBlue stack supports intuitive Mesh API's and call-back functions for Provisioning procedures and enables users to create scalable networks depending on their requirements. ClarinoxBlue mesh networking is most suited to home automation, industrial, lighting, beaconing and location applications.

Clarinox Bluetooth Classic Stack
The Clarinox Bluetooth Classic stack supports most of the vast majority of Classic profiles that are available today.
Like Clarinox BLE stack, ClarinoxSoftFrame platform allows for any easily facilitated change of target device and wirelessly enabled hardware for Bluetooth Classic.
ClarinoxWiFi Stack
ClarinoxWiFi stack supports many common WiFi modes for embedded hardware such as Aceess Point (AP), Station (STA), Peer-to-Peer and WiFi Protected Setup (WPS). ClarinoxWiFi provides a set to API for initialization and de-initialization of the WLAN stack and another set of API's 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.
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 upto TCPIP protocol message wireshark views.
ClarinoxWiFi Features
- Supports AP, STA and P2P modes
- Supports multiple simultaneous roles
- ClarinoxSoftFrame architecture isolates application from lower layers; can be used with any OS and TCPv/IP stack
