Are there any design bureaus that have developed applications for the BCM20732 on the WICED Smart SDK? (especially with SPI functionality.) We've been trying design the chip into a wearable device, but have been having great difficulty getting basic peripherals working due to the limited API documentation. I would like to buy some time from a contractor or design bureau that can help us get over the stumbling blocks by building a skeleton for our code.

Please contact our CTO at kevin@thimblebioe.com if interested.

Thanks

Our Engineering Services partners are listed here: Engineering Services

Note that for WICED Smart, we will soon be listing ACKme as a partner for WICED Smart as well.

As many of these partners frequent the forums, I'm sure one will respond shortly and engage in the discussion.

Specifically we'd like to find someone who has written code and implemented the following features on the Broadcom BCM20732 or 20736 (or other similar device):

  • Setting up custom bluetooth device profile for the product (reviewing and guiding us on the best practices).
  • Code to set up the module as an SPI slave.
  • Code to read from the ADC.
  • Code to read/write large blocks into non-volatile memory.
  • Assistance in very low-power operation.
  • Implementing code for inductive charging (on the 20736 device).
  • Implementing a bootloader for the device (later).

If you've implemented some or all of these features we would really like to hear from you.  Thanks a lot!
