1 Introduction IoTize™ offers a complete solution for instant integration of wireless connectivity that links electronics to mobile devices and the Cloud. This solution is inspired by the advantages of adding network connectivity without redesigning existing systems or recoding their firmware. It supports integrators with software and features for instant creation of customized Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) that run on mobile devices, configurable access control, security and Cloud integration.
2 Summary The TapNLink Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), NFC module (Part N°: TnL-FIW103) offers instant integration of contactless/radio interfaces to enable the connection of a microcontrollerbased target system to a local information appliance (smartphones, PDAs, tablets, PCs, etc.). TapNLink connects directly the microcontroller of the target system and allows non-intrusive read and/or write access to variables in the target microcontroller’s memory.
3 Block schematic The TapNLink Wi-Fi, BLE, NFC module is equipped with an ESP32 microcontroller that executes: 1. The main program 2. Manages the upper level protocols 3. Manages the configuration and access control 4. Manages the Wi-Fi or BLE stack and acts as a simple transmitter. The circuitry for both the NFC and the Wi-Fi/BLE antennas are outside of the shielding case. The NFC antenna is a trace at the periphery of the printed circuit board. The 2.
4 Development environment 4.1 TapNLink module configuration TapNLink is implemented by configuration only using the free IoTize Studio software environment, which is available on the IoTize website. IoTize Studio provides a simple yet complete interface for managing the configuration of IoTize radio modules so that they interface correctly with the target system.
5 Features The TapNLink NFC, Wi-Fi, BLE module (root part number: TnL-FIW103) offers instant integration of contactless/wireless radio interfaces to enable the connection of a microcontrollerbased target system to a local mobile device (smartphone, PDA, tablet, PC, etc.). TapNLink connects directly to two GPIOs on the microcontroller in the target system. These GPIOs can be either the target microcontroller’s debugging/programming port (ex.
5.3 Security features Customized firmware allows differentiated algorithms for each application. The communication chain is fully secured using classic techniques such as: Authentication: secured passwords or signed tokens Encryption: AES-128 When implementing on GPIO that are enabled by the target microcontroller’s debug protocol, data encryption is enabled to the level of the TapNLink module. When implementing with S3P protocol, security features can be implemented on the target microcontroller.
5.6 Mobile device support TapNLink includes radio implementations for NFC, Wi-Fi and BLE, which are compatible with a wide range of mobile devices running Android or iOS operating systems. The Tap Manager app manages the radio interfaces on mobile devices running Android v4.0.3 and iOS v10 or later versions. 5.7 Cloud support TapNLink includes an open source MQTT relay. Designers using TapNLink are free to copy and adapt this to meet their specific requirements for data exchanges with IoT Cloud platforms.
6 Pin assignment The TapNLink Wi-Fi/NFC module has 3 connectors: J1 (2x5 in 1.27mm steps) which connects the TapNLink to the debug connector (ARMSWD standard) of the target board via a flex cable (in 0.635mm steps). J3 (1x5 in 2.54mm steps) which connects the TapNLink to the target board using free wires that need not be grouped in a ribbon cable or with a single end connector. Note that J3 is a subset of J1.
6.2 J3 pinout J3 was added for practical reasons. The 2.54 mm step connectors are cheaper and more robust and can connect to a wide range of other connectors. It is easier to use this connector to connect to the 20-point ARM 2.54mm-step standard. J3 does not correspond to a standard. It contains the main signals necessary for the S3P and SWD protocols: Vcc 1 ● Gnd 2 ● S3PIO/SWDIO 3 ● S3PCK/SWDCK 4 ● nRST 5 ● 6.
7 Regulatory compliance Changes or modifications not expressly approved by IOTIZE S.A.S. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. TapNLink TnL-FIW10x is tested and qualified under the following standards: 7.1 CE certification (Europe) The TapNLink TnL-FIW10x operating range corresponds to: o Frequency Band: 2402-2480MHz (BLE) / 2412-2472MHz (WIFI) o Maximum Transmitting Power: Wi-fi 17.4mW and BLE 0.
