Features
Read full description

Secure AVR BLE IoT Node is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled mobile application developed by Microchip. It provides user interface to Secure AVR BLE IoT Node kit. The mobile app will authenticate the kit after connected with the kit via BLE, It verifies the (compressed) certificate chain of the Secure AVR IoT node kit. After that the sensor data will be transmitted through BLE and is shown in the mobile app as: temperature data and 3X accelerometer data. Main Features: 1. BLE devices scanning and connecting. 2. Kit authentication. 3. Range estimation by RSSI. 4. Temperature curve. 5. 3X accelerometer curve. 6. About page.

About

eSIMTools

This utility app allows users to manage eSIM profiles on compatible devices. It provides tools for reading card information, inspecting installed profiles, and provisioning new profiles from activation codes to writable SIM modules.

Highlights
  • Read eUICC card information and EID
  • View installed profiles and status
  • Scan or manually enter eSIM activation codes
  • Download carrier profiles
  • Write profiles to eUICC/SIM modules
  • Connect via USB CCID readers or Bluetooth modules

eSIMTools is an eSIM-to-SIM toolkit for working with supported programmable eUICC and SIM modules. It helps developers, testers, integrators, and connectivity teams read card information, inspect installed profiles, and manage the path from an eSIM activation code to a writable SIM-style module. Use eSIMTools to read EID and eUICC details, view installed profiles, scan or manually enter eSIM activation codes, download carrier profiles, and write compatible profiles to supported eUICC cards. The app is designed for controlled eSIM provisioning workflows where visibility, repeatability, and clear reader status matter. Key capabilities: - Read eUICC card information and EID - View installed profiles and profile status - Scan QR activation codes or enter activation codes manually - Download carrier profiles through the LPA workflow - Write profiles to supported eUICC/SIM modules - Connect through compatible USB CCID readers - Connect to supported Bluetooth eSIM modules - Review storage and profile diagnostics before installation - Manage installed profiles from a clear profile console eSIMTools focuses on practical eSIM-to-SIM testing and provisioning. It is not a carrier service and does not provide mobile plans. Profile download and installation require a valid activation code, network access, and compatible reader or module hardware.
