    Antenna (which allows communication with other Bluetooth devices) Casira ships with BlueCore2-External devices. The BlueCore2-External module design is a Class 2 device (see the BlueCore2 Class 2 module design BC2MOD2C on the CSR support website). Datasheets for BlueCore2-External are available on the CSR support website.

    Windows NT and USB, as USB patches are not supported. CSR no longer guarantees support for Windows 98 and Windows Me. New releases of BlueSuite will not be tested on these operating systems. However, it is likely that some of the utilities shipped with BlueSuite will continue to function correctly on these operating systems.

    CSR’s BlueSuite software was tested using both sets of drivers. If you installed previous versions of BlueSuite and CSR USB drivers, note that they will not work with the WIDCOMM BTW software. The CD ROM provided with your Casira Development Kit will allow you to remove the old USB drivers and install the new version, which co-exists with both software programs.

    Flash Erase Erasing the flash will remove all Persistent Store settings. Firmware upgrades from the CSR support website do not contain Persistent Store settings, thus the current settings are preserved. Firmware dumps that you make do contain Persistent Store settings, therefore, any existing ones will be overwritten if you re-flash using a previously dumped file.

If the code is edited, the Bluetooth protocol stack may behave erratically and it may no longer be Bluetooth qualified. : Downloads the selected file to the flash on the BlueCore module. This process will update each flash Download block as required and verify them in turn.

    Most settings are design-specific, but some are module specific. The Persistent Store resides entirely in the data space. Virtual Machine Application: BlueCore allows small applications to be run on-chip using CSR’s BlueLab. These applications reside in a special area of the data space. Refer to section 7, Other Applications, or to the CSR support website for more information about BlueLab.
