Creating a BLE Custom Profile
Testing with CySmart Central Emulation Tool
The CySmart Central Emulation Tool, along with a BLE Dongle, emulates a BLE GATT client device. This allows you to
connect to any BLE device, discover its attributes, and communicate data over these attributes with a Peripheral device.
Download the latest CySmart Central Emulation Tool from www.cypress.com/cysmart and the latest firmware HEX file for the
BLE Dongle from www.cypress.com/CY8CKIT-042-BLE.
Note The CySmart Central Emulation Tool is currently supported only on Windows PCs.
To test the project with the CySmart Central Emulation Tool, follow these steps:
1. Connect the BLE Dongle to your PC. Allow the USB enumeration to complete.
2. Launch the CySmart tool: click Start > All Programs > Cypress > CySmart <version> > CySmart <version>.
3. On the CySmart Central Emulation Tool, select the Cypress BLE Dongle from the Supported targets list, and click
Connect, as shown in Figure 43.
Note If the BLE Dongle is not listed, press the reset button on the BLE Dongle and then click Refresh.
