Renesas Releases Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE MCUs on Cortex-M33 Architecture

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://linuxgizmos.com/renesas-releases-dual-band-wi-fi-6-and-bluetooth-le-mcus-on-cortex-m33-architecture/

Over the past couple of days I've been quietly working on and adding support for a new device (OVERMAX Touch 2.6) to Gadgetbridge... and today I've seen the first tangible results! :ablobfoxbongohyper:

I waited a bit to post anything about it as I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to do it (it is my first BTLE RE project!) but while there's still stuff to be done, I've got to a point where I'm rather confident I can at least reach some basic level of support :neofox_cofe:

The watch itself isn't exactly a popular model iirc, but its companion app is not even available on the Play Store anymore (and it's rather sketchy too if you ask me) so having it supported on @gadgetbridge is already a big plus due to that!

(Btw that's my SO's smartwatch, in fact that's what made me start this project to begin with... and doing something that will help them is more than enough of a reason for me to keep going! :neofox_blep: )

Auracast – Stand EUHA 2025
Herstellerstimmen und Praxisworkshop

Neben der künstlichen Intelligenz war das zweite heiße Thema auf der EUHA (dem europäischen Hörakustikkongress) die neue Bluetooth-Funktion Auracast. Auracast wurde in den letzten Jahren entwickelt, um energiearmes, hochqualitatives Audiostreaming auf mehrere Empfänger zu ermöglichen. Es wurde insbesondere zusammen mit Hörsystemherstellern entwickelt, so dass es auch für Hörgeräte funktioniert. Auf der EUHA 2025 habe ich mit allen großen Hörgeräteherstellern gesprochen, um herauszufinden, wie es um Auracast in ihren Produkten und um ihre Zukunftsplänen steht. Außerdem nahm ich an einem sehr interessanten Workshop zum Thema teil.

I'm not super well versed in writing documentation for reverse-engineered Bluetooth LE protocols, does anyone have any resources on this? I'm nearly ready with the protocol reverse engineering effort, I want to fully document it before working on the next step. #linux #bluetooth #bluetoothle #programming #coding #python #documenting #documentation

Spending about two days on this project so far, it involves reverse engineering #BluetoothLE commands. This product which shall remain nameless comes with an #Android app and the app is terrible, and slow, doesn't come with like home assistant/Google/Alexa. Of course no documentation. And I have to be near this thing all the time, and it's not near my office - so I have to lug my laptop around and try to find a position to sit that doesn't hurt my back. #programming #coding #bluetoothle #python

Windows 11 24H2 just FIXED Bluetooth's biggest problem! No more muffled audio when using mic - super wideband stereo support keeps crisp sound during calls & gaming. Teams gets spatial audio over Bluetooth! Needs LE Audio headphones #Windows11 #BluetoothLE #AudioFixed

For the record, and as far as I've found out, #AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 chips (present in the most recent @frameworkcomputer #Laptop13, for example) dont support #BluetoothLE.

Which is a pity and turned my so promising synth-geeking-lunch-break into a exhausting-forum-search-session-to-fix-something-that-couldn't-be-fixed.

🔒✨ Oh, look! Jack Dorsey's back at it again, this time with a Bluetooth LE mesh chat app that screams "IRC nostalgia" while trying to convince you it's the future of secure messaging. 📡💬 Because clearly, what the world needs now is yet another messaging service to fix vulnerabilities — we just hope it won't crash faster than a GitHub Actions script. 🚀🤦‍♂️

This WAS a #PrincessCruises onboard tracking medallion. It's now recycled electronics. #BluetoothLE and #NFC, it was convenient as hell onboard, but I couldn't help but worry over the database it was connected to on the backend.
