About

Renesas SmartBond

Features
Read full description

The SmartBond™ app from Renesas Electronics is a mobile application that works as a generic tool for interacting with Bluetooth® Low Energy devices. With the app you can scan for and connect to Bluetooth® Low Energy peripherals. Multiple connections and scan filtering are supported. You can also use the app in peripheral mode, so that other devices can scan for and connect to it. The app can act both as GATT client and GATT server. All GATT operations are supported. The app recognizes the Bluetooth® SIG adopted GATT objects, which are displayed with their proper names, their values are parsed and displayed as text, and, where supported, a custom write user interface is available. You can configure the GATT server and peripheral mode, either directly, or by cloning existing peripherals.
