The Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) package provides all the software necessary to implement USB firmware update applications for Apple’s Mac OS X. A downloadable pdf of this software may be accessed from here.

Download the latest drivers for your CSR BlueCore Bluetooth to keep your Computer up-to-date. The CSR8510 chipset is a Bluetooth v4.0 single-chip radio and baseband IC for PCs and consumer electronics devices.

The software comprises a user-mode static library (source code available) that implements a complete standards compliant DFU driver, with interfaces in C++ and Cocoa/Objective-C. The core driver is fully customisable, and can be adapted to suit specific device requirements.

DFU Technology can organise further customisation of the software tool for those customers that have non-standard implementations that they wish to target. The customisation would come under our Bluetooth design services arrangements with partners Kingston Wireless and tSoniq.

Over-Air Updates

Over-air software updates allow a device’s firmware to be updated without the need for a physical connection between the device and a host (such as a USB connection to a PC). Instead, a wireless link (such as a Bluetooth or WiFi connection to a smartphone) is used to send the software update to the device. This wireless connection may also be used to manage the update process.

DFU Technology Ltd are able to provide solutions for over-air software updates for a variety of target devices (such as CSR BlueCore Bluetooth chips, ARM MCUs and Broadcom chips). We have experience of working with a broad range of host systems, such as Android and iOS smartphones.

Cloud-Based Service

DFU Technology Ltd can offer a cloud-based service for the storage and download of DFU update images, whether by cellular, WiFi or Bluetooth. Coupled with a web-based applet, or with an update utility stored in the Flash memory of the device itself, this provides the best possible user experience.

MacOS DFU Tools

Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) is an industry-standard way of updating the software contained within an embedded device. The DFU software update process is typically driven by a PC with the embedded device connected via USB.

CSR plc (now part of Qualcomm) have long supported DFU for their BlueCore® range of Bluetooth® chipsets. However, CSR only make DFU tools available for Microsoft Windows computers. Kingston Wireless are now able to offer equivalent DFU tools for Apple’s macOS based computers.

Overview of Kingston Wireless’ MacOS DFU Tools

Kingston Wireless’ macOS DFU Tools are designed to allow 3rd party companies to embedded support for DFU-over-USB into their own macOS applications. The tools consist of:

• a USB DFU driver
• a DFU library
• an example application that demonstrates how to use the driver and library
• source code for the example application
• documentation explaining the use of the driver and library

A compiled version of the example application can be provided to interested parties on request.

Features

• Allows the on-chip software of BlueCore-based products to be updated from an Apple Mac
• Compatible with all Flash-based BlueCore chips that expose a USB DFU interface
• Supports Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.5, 10.7.4, 10.8 to 10.11 and macOS 10.12 onwards
• Includes a USB device driver, DFU library and example application (with source code)
• Utilises Cocoa API

Benefits

• Easy to integrate into your custom macOS applications
• Provides an easy-to-use software upgrade process for your customers
• Developed and supported by a very experienced team of BlueCore experts
