6 Apple MF iOS Support

Like the BM77 module, the BM78 module natively supports the service profile required for iOS devices. The iOS Accessory Profile (iOS AP2) and the Class of Devices (CoD) allow the discovery and pairing with iOS devices in the Classic Bluetooth mode. To establish a Bluetooth link with an iOS device, the user needs to connect the BM78 module to an Apple authentication co-processor via I²C pins. The BM78 module requires a special BM78 UI tool release to set Apple Made for iOS (MF iOS) parameters. To obtain the tool, reach out to your Microchip representative or email applesupport@microchip.com.
