Overview

The LM506 Bluetooth Smart Ready adapter is a small, simple and highly compatible solution. A plug and play USB adapter, compatible with Linux, MAC OSX and Windows XP – 10 platforms. Allowing your host computer to wirelessly communicate with other nearby

Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Smart enabled devices (such as the iPhone and Android devices). Providing a low energy connection and high quality data stream.

The LM506 has many possible uses e.g. within an iBeacon and a data logger. Typically used in industries such as EPOS, M2M and automotive. And is ideal for developing voice and data applications.

The adapter has a Host Controller Interface (HCI) for a simple connection via USB to a host computer or MCU.

HCI Architecture

Within the Host Controller Interface (HCI) Architecture, the LM506 runs the HCI Firmware, Link

Manager Firmware and baseband controller.

The host operating system runs the Bluetooth

Classic/ Smart user application. It also runs the

Bluetooth Stack (HCI Driver), USB Driver and other necessary drivers.

The Bluetooth Stack (HCI Driver) exchanges data and commands with the HCI firmware via the USB interface.

The LM506 is plug and play and compatible with the

OSX, Linux and Windows XP – 10 platforms.

The Bluetooth Stack is in-built into the operating system.

With the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack Software specifically designed for the Broadcom chipset within the LM506.

The table below shows the supported BR/EDR and

GATT (LE) profiles:
