Introduction
The Texas Instruments Simply Blue modules are highly integrated radio, baseband controller and memory devices. All hardware
and firmware is included to provide a complete solution from antenna through the complete lower and upper layers of the
Bluetooth stack, up to the application including the Generic Access Profile (GAP), the Service Discovery Application Profile
(SDAP), and the Serial Port Profile (SPP). The module includes a configurable service database to fulfil service requests
for additional profiles on the host.
The LMX9830/LMX9838 is optimized to handle the data and link management processing requirements of a Bluetooth
node. The firmware supplied within this device offers a complete Bluetooth stack including profiles and command interface.
This firmware features point-to-point and point-to-multipoint link management supporting data rates up to the theoretical
maximum over RFComm of 704 kbps. The internal memory supports up to 7 (3 for LMX9820A) active Bluetooth data
links and 1 active SCO link.
This document will give a quick introduction into different usage scenarios of the LMX9830/LMX9838 Simply Blue

LMX 98xx Bluetooth Serial Port Modules - Quick Setup Guide
1.0 Installation
1.1 INSTALL SIMPLY BLUE COMMANDER
The Simply Blue Commander is an easy to use application which enables you to send single commands to the
LMX9830/LMX9838 Evalboard. The built-in command and event interpreter generates an easy to read log of the UART
traffic between the application and the LMX9830/LMX9838.
For the installation of the program please refer to the “Simply Blue Commander User Guide”. After installation please make
sure the connection between PC and Board is set up and working. The screen should come up like shown in Figure 1-1
(screens shown are for LMX9838).
Figure 1-1. Simply Blue Commander
1.2 INSTALL IVT BLUETOOTH STACK
In case you do not have any other Bluetooth device for testing, each LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation board includes
one BT USB Dongle. This dongle is a standard Bluetooth USB dongle.
In order to be able to work with a HCI based dongle, a host stack (windows stack) has to be installed on your PC. The
dongle is shipped with the IVT Windows stack.
Please insert the CD delivered with the BT USB Dongle and follow the instructions of the setup. After the installation
please plug the dongle into an available USB port. The PC should detect the dongle and install the necessary drivers.
Afterwards the stack is ready and should show up as the picture below. The task bar should include a blue/white colored
Bluetooth sign.
NOTE: The IVT Stack is only necessary in combination with the Bluetooth USB Dongle. which can be used as counter-
part for the LMX9830/LMX9838. It is not necessary to drive the LMX9830/LMX9838.

1.3 SETTING UP HYPERTERMINAL
Simple serial port data transfers can be done by using a standard serial port terminal program like the Microsoft Hyperter-
minal. The program is part of Windows XP.
Some of the demonstrations later on are based on hyperterminal. For this, please make sure Hyperterminal or a similar ter-
minal program is available on the system.
You’ll find hyperterminal within the Windows environment within the Start Menu under “Start/All Programs/Accessories/
Communication”. Please see Figure 1-3 where to find “Hyperterminal”.
Hyperterminal is not any longer offered with new operating systems like Windows Vista, 7 or 8. In such a case putty or
some other free terminal programs can be used.

Revision 1.3
LMX 98xx Bluetooth Serial Port Modules - Quick Setup Guide
2.0 Setup descriptions
The LMX9830/LMX9838 is a full Bluetooth node, by default configured to listen for incoming links. The command
interface also offers the ability to configure the device and actively setup links.
The following examples shall give an quick introduction into the different functionalities of the LMX9830/
LMX9838.
2.1 CABLE REPLACEMENT WITH LMX9830/LMX9838 WAITING FOR INCOMING CONNECTION
By default the LMX9830/LMX9838 is configured to be visible (discoverable) and connectable for other devices. The
service database offers one “Serial Port Profile” (SPP) service called “COM1”.
In case the LMX9830/LMX9838 is connected by a remote device it will indicate the incoming link by a short event on
the UART and then switch to transparent meaning it will not try to interpret incoming data on the UART directly to the
Bluetooth interface. Incoming data on the Bluetooth interface are directly routed to the UART interface without framing
them into Simply Blue command packets.
The demo is based on using Hyperterminal on both sides to create a simple serial port connection between two devices
using the USB dongle as connecting device and LMX9830/LMX9838 as ‘passive’ waiting device.
2.1.1 Connect Hyperterminal to LMX9830/LMX9838
Since the LMX9830/LMX9838 is waiting for an incoming connection automatically, no specific action has been taken on
this side. In order to monitor the incoming data on the UART any terminal program able to talk to a serial port can be used.
This example uses the Hyperterminal application.
The following steps should be followed to connect “Hyperterminal” to the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation Board.
2.1.1.1 Start Hyperterminal
Start Hyperterminal as described in Section 1.3. Please make sure no other application (e.g. Simply Blue Commander) is
using the same port as the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation Kit.
2.1.1.2 Create new connection
Create a new connection by typing a connection name like “SBDemo LMX9838”.

2.1.1.4 Choose comport settings
Choose the correct comport settings for your LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation board. For example, we configure the UART
setting on the board and the PC to 115200 bit/s, No Parity, 1 Stop bit. Please make sure Hardware Flow Control is select-
ed in the dialog.
The LMX9830 UART setting is done by configuring pins OP3, OP4 and OP5. The setting for 115200 bit/s is OP3=1, OP4=1
and OP5=0
The LMX9838 UART setting is done by configuring pins OP4 and OP5. The setting for 115200 bit/s is OP4=1 and OP5=0

2.1.1.5 Reset the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation Board
Once the correct speed is chosen “Hyperterminal” should connect to the selected comport. Afterwards a hardware reset of
the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation board should cause a response as shown in Figure 2-4. The cryptic char-
acters are specific hex values which are part of the Simply Blue interface event. The “0212” indicates the firmware version
which might be different to your board. Please refer to “LMX9830 or LMX9838 Software Users Guide” for a detailed
description of this event.
If this event is received the communication between “Hyperterminal” and the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation
board is confirmed.

2.1.2 Establish Link to the LMX9830/LMX9838 from the Bluetooth USB Dongle
Since the LMX9830/LMX9838 is by default connectable and discoverable, it can be connected from any other Blue-
tooth device. To establish the link from the BT USB Dongle, the IVT Stack needs to be started. Therefore please start the
“Bluesoleil” application. You should see the screen as demonstrated in Figure 1-2 on page 4. The Bluetooth icon in
the taskbar needs to be blue and white. In case the background is grey instead of blue, the USB dongle has not been
installed correctly.
2.1.2.1 Start Inquiry - Search for devices in range
The first to be done is to search for the devices in range. To do so, please click on the yellow “sun” in the middle of the
window, which initiates the Bluetooth “Inquiry”. The LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation board should appear as “Serial Port
Device”.

As result the stack will report the virtual serial port, which will be used for this serial port connection. In this example
“COM4” will be used. This means, any data sent to this COMPort will be sent over the Bluetooth link to the LMX9830/
LMX9838.
If the dialog is answered with Yes, the stack will automatically open the Bluetooth link to the LMX9830/LMX9838 as soon as
any application opens “COM4”.
Please confirm with “Yes” if that’s desired. Otherwise the assignment of COM4 to the LMX9830/LMX9838 will be
temporary.

2.2 INITIATE A LINK WITH LMX9830/LMX9838 USING SIMPLY BLUE COMMANDER
The LMX9830/LMX9838 command interface offers full Bluetooth capabilities. The Simply Blue Commander software
gives an easy to use interface to send commands to the LMX9830/LMX9838 and interprets incoming events.
Please see also “Simply Blue Commander Users Guide” for a detailed description on the usage of Simply Blue Comman-
der.
The following demonstration shows how to use Simply Blue Commander to establish a standard Serial Port Profile (SPP)
Link to another device. The counterpart of the link will be the BT USB Dongle, controlled by the IVT Stack.
Please make sure the devices are connected to the PC and the IVT stack at the PC detected the USB Dongle correctly.
2.2.1 Start Simply Blue Commander
Start Simply Blue Commander as described inSection 1.1 on page 3. Please make sure no other device is using the
Comport the LMX9830/LMX9838 Evaluation board is connected to.
Once the program is up and running, press the RESET button on the Evaluation board. This will cause the LMX9830/
LMX9838 to reboot and bring up the “SimplyBlue Ready” Event, followed by the firmware version.

2.2.2 Send “Restore to factory settings” and “Reset”
To make sure all settings are reset to expected values, the “Restore to factory settings” can be used before first initializa-
tion. This is not required for general use, it is just necessary for this demo to make sure all parameters are set as expected.
To do so, open the “Local Hardware Commands” Folder within the Command Directory and double-click on “Restore to
Factory Settings”. Afterwards double-click on “Reset”, which will complete the activation of the settings.
Figure 2-19. Restore to factory settings
2.2.3 Find remote device
To be able to connect to another device the connecting device needs to know the Bluetooth Device Address and the
Remote RFComm Port to connect to.
2.2.3.1 Device Discovery - Send “GIAC Inquiry”
The first step therefore is to start the “Inquiry” Process. This process can be started using the “GIAC Inquiry” Command in
the “Device Discovery” section of the Command Directory. On “GIAC Inquiry” (General Inquiry Access Code Inquiry) the
device will show any device scanning in normal mode. “LIAC” (Limited Inquiry Access Code) will search for devices in the
“Limited Inquiry scan mode” which is only used in special applications.

2.2.3.2 Get remote name (optional)
In case more than one device has been found, each of the devices can be asked for it’s “Friendly Name”. As seen in
Section 2.1.2.1 on page 10, the LMX9830/LMX9838 by default appeared as “Serial Port Device”. To get the remote name
of the device in our example, the device needs to be contacted and asked for it’s name.
The name request is initiated by the “Remote Name Request” Command within the Command Directory. Since the
command needs to be modified for each specific device, the following procedure needs to be followed for each device.
2.2.3.2.1 Single Click “Remote Name Request”
By single clicking the Remote Name Request Command, the “HEX/ASCII input” line is updated with the complete hex
string to be sent to the LMX9830/LMX9838.

2.2.3.2.2 Replace payload by device Bluetooth address
After activating the command in the command directory, the HEX/ASCII input now shows the complete structure of the
command. Each command is built out of a 6-byte header, the payload and a 1-byte delimiter. The payload of the command
by default is filled with FF as placeholder for the remote Bluetooth device address.
To initiate the remote name request, the Bluetooth device address from the previous inquiry result needs to be filled in. The
address can be found within Transport Layer log, reported as
“RX:Event: Device Found, BdAddr: 015814170008, Device Class: 040112”
In this example the inquiry just indicates one device with address 015814170008.
To complete the request this address has to be filled into the HEX/ASCII input link, by replacing the FFs with this address.
See Figure 2-22 on page 23 as an example.

To finally send the command to the LMX9830/LMX9838, just press the “Send” button. The LMX9830/LMX9838
will respond to the request by the appropriate “Remote Device Name” Event, including the status and the device name. In
this example the name “DCDL38” has been detected. In case the status is different from 0x00, the physical connection
establishment might have been failed. In that case just try again until the status 00 is reported.

2.2.4 Get remote RFComm Port for SPP
A serial port profile communication between two devices is based on the “RFCOMM” layer. This layer basically offers a vir-
tual serial port environment to the application. Each SPP based service like “Serial Port” or “Dial Up Networking” is regis-
tered to a specific RFCOMM port, like e.g. a modem driver on a PC is using a specific COMport.
This comport assignment is stored within the so called “Service Database” of each device.
If a device wants to create a link to the “Serial Port” service of another device, it has to know the RFComm Port for this ser-
vice on the other device. Afterwards a link will be established from a Local Port to the appropriate Remote Port.
The RFCOMM Port of a service on the remote device can be found by using a SDAP Request.
2.2.4.1 Create SDAP Connection
To browse for service first a SDAP connection has to be established. For this the “SDAP Connect” Command can be used.
Since the command needs to be modified for the correct Bluetooth address, the same procedure as for the Remote Name
Request needs to be used.
2.2.4.1.1 Single Click “SDAP Connect” in the Command Directory
By a single click of the command in the directory, the hex string for the command appears in the “HEX/ASCII input:” line.

2.2.4.2 Browse for the SPP Service
Once the SDAP Connection is established, the remote database can be asked for the requested service. The prepared
“SDAP Service Browse SPP” Command can be used directly to browse for the service by double clicking the command in
the command directory.
This request searches specifically for a SPP entry. Please refer to “LMX9830 or LMX9838 Software Users Guide” for
details of the command.

Browse Group ID: 0210, Service ID: 0111, PortNo: 03, Service Name: Serial Port B.
The event shows, that the remote device offer 2 Serial Port services:
• Service 1:
— RFCOMM Port: “0x02”
— Service Name: “Serial Port A”
• Service 2:
— RFCOMM Port: “0x03”
— Service Name: “Serial Port B”
For a Serial Port connection, one of those ports can be used.

2.2.5 Establish SPP Link
Finally, if the Bluetooth address (BD_Addr) and the remote RFComm port to be addressed are known, an SPP Link can be
established to the device.
NOTE: The steps explained in Section 2.2.3.1 to Section 2.2.4.3 are only necessary in case the remote device is not known
yet.
2.2.5.1 Select “Establish SPP Link”
The main command to establish a link to another device is “Establish SPP Link”, to be found in the “SPP Link Establish-
ment” section of the command directory.

2.2.5.2 Adapt Link Establishment parameters
The “Establish SPP Connection” command includes 3 parameters in the payload, which have to be adapted to successfully
establish a link.
As usual the first 6-bytes of the command are the packet header. The payload of the command in the example consists of:
• The Local RFCOMM Port (1 byte)
— This is the local RFCOMM port of the LMX9830/LMX9838, which will be assigned to this link. Each data
sent to this port after link establishment will be sent to this remote Bluetooth device.
• The BD_Addr of the remote device (6 bytes)
— In able to connect to the correct device, its BD_Addr has to be filled in (same as used for SDAP, found by Inquiry)
• The Remote RFCOMM Port (1 byte)
— The remote RFCOMM port is the comport assigned to the Serial port service, as found by the SDAP Service Browse
(see Section 2.2.4.2). In this case Port 02 shall be used.
There in this example the payload has to be filled with 01 01 58 14 17 00 08 02.

2.2.5.3 Press “Send” to connect
By pressing “Send” the command will be sent to the LMX9830/LMX9838.
The Link Establishment is first confirmed by the event
Rx: Event: Establish Link, Status: 00, Local Port: 01
which just indicates that the command has been received successfully and the LMX9830/LMX9838 is starting
to process the request. If status is different from 00 then please check again the parameters you’ve entered within the com-
mand.
The IVT stack of the USB Dongle will probably alert to the user that another device tries to request the service and will ask
for the PinCode. For this the default pincode of the LMX9830/LMX9838 needs to be used (0000).

In case the Pincode has been entered correctly, the stack asks if again on application level if the device is allowed to
access the Serial Port Service. The question should be answered with Yes. To avoid this message in the future, the check-
box can be checked as well.
Figure 2-32. Incoming device requesting access to a local service
Finally the stack reports virtual serial port which can be used to send and receive data for the connected device. This port
can now be used by applications like hyperterminal.
NOTE: The IVT stack and most other windows stacks assign different virtual ports for incoming and outgoing connections.
Figure 2-33. Virtual Serial Port for the incoming link
Having a final look at the “Simply Blue Commander” it shows the event
Rx: Event: Link Established, Status: 00, BdAddr: 015814170008, Local Port: 01, Remote Port Number: 02
with status 00, which indicates the successful link establishment. In case this event reports status 0x03, the link establish-
ment most likely timed out or failed to another reason. The link establishment command should be resent.

2.2.6 Create Hyperterminal connection for incoming virtual serial port
Once the LMX9830/LMX9838 connects to the Windows Stack of the USB Dongle, the windows stack will
assign a virtual serial port to this link as seen in Section 2.2.5.3 on page 30.
This means, any data sent to this virtual serial port will be sent to the LMX9830/LMX9838.
Since we need an application to do this, a Hyperterminal connection needs to be created.

Afterwards the Hyperterminal window comes up and should be connected to the selected COMPort.
2.2.7 Receiving Data in Simply Blue Commander
Once the Hyperterminal shows “Connected” any key typed in that window will appear as incoming data in the Simply Blue
Commander. See Figure 2-38 as example for the events sent for the Text “test1234”. The test is displayed in hex.
Since the LMX9830/LMX9838 is still in command mode, meaning, it still is trying to interpret incoming UART
data, it indicates incoming data on the Bluetooth link with the “Incoming Data” event on the UART.
Figure 2-38. Incoming Data at LMX9830/LMX9838 in command mode
2.2.8 Send Data by using “Send Data”
After actively establishing a link the LMX9830/LMX9838 will stay in command mode for either a second link or
other configurations. Therefore any data to be sent to the other device have to be sent via the “Send Data” command. The
command is formed out of the 6-byte header and the payload. The payload consists of
• Local RFCOMM Port (1 byte)
— The port, to which the package has to be sent to. The port defines the Bluetooth link the data have to be forwarded to.
In this example the link has been established on port 01.
• Datalength (2 bytes)
— Length of the data to be sent
• Data (‘Datalength’ bytes)
— Data to be sent (maximum 330bytes)
The prepared command “Send Data:Test, Local Port=01” in the command directory sends the data “Test” to the remote
device.
NOTE: in multiple link setups this command needs to be used to differentiate between different connections.

2.2.9 Switching to transparent mode on the LMX9830/LMX9838
If only one link is established, so no differentiation between different links is necessary, the LMX9830/LMX9838
allows to switch the UART interface to “transparent”. This means, incoming data will not be parsed to be a valid command,
instead, all incoming data will be sent to the remote device directly.
Transparent Mode on the local port 1 can be reached by sending the prepared command in the “Command Directory”.
Figure 2-41. Switch to “Transparent Mode” on the UART
Afterwards, all data will be sent directly to the other side. This can be simulated by sending “Send Data: Test, LocalPort=01”
again. The LMX9830/LMX9838 will now send the complete packet to the other device, not just the “Test” string.
This can be seen at the cryptic characters within the Hyperterminal window.
