GUI software description

Figure 7. Raw packet dump

Some events (displayed in yellow cells) can provide other information. HCI packets sent

towards the BLE controller are displayed in gray cells while received packets are shown

inside white cells.

The Sent/received packets table can be cleared by clicking on clear list button. Update and

auto-scrolling check boxes enable or disable updating and auto-scrolling of the

Sent/received packets table while new packets are sent or received (however, information

will still be printed).

Tools

The BlueNRG-MS GUI has some functions that can be accessed through the tools menu.

These tools are described in this section.

BlueNRG-MS updater

This tool can be used to update the firmware inside the BlueNRG-MS by using its internal

bootloader. VCOM firmware must be present on the STM32L and COM port must be open,

in order to use this function.

Go to Tools -> BlueNGR updater

Select the correct stack firmware (.img)

Press update to start the update procedure. If the procedure completes with no errors,

the new firmware has been loaded into the BlueNRG-MS internal Flash.

BlueNRG-MS IFR

To preserve BlueNRG-MS's flexibility, its firmware uses a table of configurable parameters.

This table resides in a sector of the Flash called Information Register (IFR). The BlueNRG-

MS IFR tool can read and modify this portion of BlueNRG-MS's Flash. This tool is available

in BlueNRG-MS GUI, Tools, BlueNRG IFR... item.

The BlueNRG-MS GUI IFR utility is a tool that allow the customer to define the IFR data in a

controller way. Using this utility is the only supported mode to define IFR data based on

customer needs. The utility provides the following windows:

• View/Edit view: displays the IFR regions with related fields and description. The user can

modify some of these fields according to his needs.

• Memory view: displays the IFR field memory addresses and related values that are

generated by BlueNRG-MS GUI according to the specified values.
