We are excited to announce the release of BleuIO Pro (SSD005) Firmware v1.0.1. This latest update brings several new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, ensuring a more stable and flexible experience for developers using the BleuIO Pro (SSD025) device. Below, we’ll explore the key highlights of this update and how it will improve your BLE application development.

Key Features in Firmware v1.0.1

1. Integration of Commands from BleuIO Versions 2.7.5 and 2.7.6

One of the most significant additions to BleuIO Pro firmware v1.0.1 is the inclusion of commands from BleuIO versions 2.7.5 and 2.7.6. This means BleuIO Pro is now fully up to date with the latest functionality available in the BleuIO series, while also maintaining exclusive commands that are specific to the Pro model.

2. Unique Organization ID (UOI) Support

With this update, BleuIO Pro introduces the ability to set a Unique Organization ID (UOI). This ID will be stored in the device’s flash memory, ensuring it persists even after power cycles. The Unique Organization ID can be displayed in the ATI command response if it is set, providing a simple and effective way for developers to manage and identify their devices across larger projects or multiple devices.

3. Extended ASCII Character Support

As part of our continued effort to enhance the functionality and versatility of BleuIO Pro, this firmware update includes support for Extended ASCII characters. This change allows for the handling of a broader range of characters, expanding the potential use cases for your BLE applications.

4. Device Address Type Command (ATSAT)

Firmware v1.0.1 introduces a new command, ATSAT, which allows developers to toggle the visibility of the device’s address type in the advertising data/scan responses. This feature applies to the AT+FINDSCANDATA and AT+SCANTARGET commands, as well as the AT+GAPSCAN command, which will always show the device address type. This added flexibility allows developers to easily track whether devices are using a Private or Public address type, making it easier to manage multiple devices in your BLE applications.

5. Enhanced Bonded Device Storage

One of the significant improvements in this update is the increased storage capacity for bonded devices. Previously, BleuIO Pro could store information for up to 8 bonded devices. With the v1.0.1 update, this number has been expanded to 16 devices. When the number of bonded devices exceeds 16, the firmware will automatically remove the first device in the list that is not currently connected, ensuring that bonding can continue seamlessly. This improvement ensures that BleuIO Pro can handle larger device networks, especially in scenarios with multiple connections.

New Commands in Firmware v1.0.1

Along with the new features, firmware v1.0.1 introduces several important commands:

• AT+SETUOI – Set the Unique Organization ID, which will be stored in flash memory and persist through power cycles.
• AT+CLRUOI – Clear any set Unique Organization ID.
• ATSAT – Toggle the visibility of the device address type in scan results for AT+FINDSCANDATA and AT+SCANTARGET.

These commands offer greater control over device management, especially in environments with many BLE devices.

Bug Fixes in v1.0.1

Firmware updates aren’t just about adding new features – they also address known issues to improve the overall stability and performance of the device. In v1.0.1, we’ve resolved several bugs that impacted the performance of BleuIO Pro:

• Device Reset During Scanning: A bug has been fixed where BleuIO Pro would reset when scanning and connecting to two or more devices, especially during a disconnection event.
• Command Handling Improvements: Several fixes have been implemented for commands that require parameters. Previously, some commands would cause BleuIO Pro to reset if parameters were not provided, especially immediately after boot. This issue has now been resolved.
• Error Handling for String Parameters: We’ve fixed a bug that caused errors when certain commands with string parameters, such as AT+DEVICENAME, AT+SCANPARAM=NAME, and AT+SETUOI, included an equal sign (=) within the string.
• AT+AUTOEXEC Command Fix: The AT+AUTOEXEC command, which failed to execute in certain cases, is now fully operational.
