Cambridge Consultants has announced the launch of DEVA, a new comprehensive development platform for the rapid development of highly differentiated Bluetooth products and mobile accessories. This general-purpose and flexible platform will allow electronics and software engineers to rapidly prototype and test accessory products that deliver new features for users before committing to final product hardware.
DEVA can be used to develop a wide range of Bluetooth products - from mobile phone accessories and headsets, including for Apple’s iPhone, to wireless payment systems, industrial remote control devices, sports activity monitors or telehealth sensors that can be compliant with the Continua Health Alliance’s guidelines.
The DEVA platform can be used with all of Cambridge Consultants’ existing software tools and libraries, including its generic Bluetooth tool, xIDE for Interface Express, its Continua Compliant wireless health platform, VENA, and its Internet service accessory platform, CatchNet. DEVA can also be used with CSR’s BlueLab development suite.
DEVA will provide developers with access to the comprehensive features and processing power of CSR’s BlueCore-5-multimedia chip. It includes a 128x128 monochrome LCD display, three user-interface buttons and LEDs allowing rich user interfaces to be developed for the product. With USB, Serial and MicroSD interfaces for data integration, a range of GPIO, and both digital and analogue stereo audio connection, DEVA can support the development of complex products that have the lowest possible cost in their final manufactured form and being battery powered, DEVA provides a completely wireless experience.
“DEVA has been designed to provide a comprehensive environment for the development of sophisticated Bluetooth products,” said Tim Fowler, Commercial Director at Cambridge Consultants. “Not only does it speed the development of new versions of established Bluetooth products such as headsets with added capabilities, but it will also enable the rapid development of new devices in many more diverse markets.”
