“Our relationship with Clarinox is in the best interest of the product/platform and also offers a cost-competitive solution compared to stack-on-chip drop-in solutions.” - Evan Ross, SMART kapp™ firmware design lead
The SMART kapp™ digital capture board from SMART Technologies instantly transfers written content onto any connected device “as if by magic”. Content can be shared from the SMART kapp via your device easily and intuitively to anywhere in the world.
SMART Technologies is well known as a leading collaboration company and global provider of visual collaboration solutions.
The technology chosen for the SMART kapp was comprised of Texas Instruments TMS320C6748, SYS/BIOS and WiLink8 WL1835MOD onto which target Clarinox integrated the ClarinoxBlue Bluetooth Smart Ready protocol stack. Together these technologies provided the ideal base for SMART Technologies to add the “as if by magic” functionality of the SMART kapp product.
The Clarinox experience in wireless product development, combined with the Clarinox portfolio of robust wireless protocols and software tools, placed us in a unique position to ensure the success of this innovative product.
SMART Technologies is a global provider of visual collaboration solutions and the creator of the SMART Board® interactive whiteboard(Figure 1). SMART Technologies products are at the leading edge of technology to ensure truly innovative product functionality.
The expectation for leading edge technology is extended to all component vendors so when SMART Technologies sought a supplier for the Bluetooth functionality the vendor had to be innovative. ClarinoxBlue were chosen as the winning provider due to the innovative approach, simple APIs and enhanced debug capabilities built in. The TI TMS320C6748; SYS/BIOS ; and TI WiLink8 WL1835MOD completed the major components of the target platform.
