ATSAMB11 BluSDK SMART
Alert Notification Profile - Getting Started Guide
USER GUIDE
Introduction
The Alert Notification Profile allows a device like a watch to obtain information from a cellphone about
incoming calls, missed calls, and SMS/MMS messages. The information may include the caller ID for an
incoming call or the sender’s ID for email/SMS/MMS but not the message. This profile also enables the
client device to get information about the number of unread messages on the server device.
The iPhone®implements a custom variant of ANS called ANCS. A separate example application
implementing this custom variant is available in the BluSDK SMART package.
The example application explained in this document will only work with BLE compatible Android phones
running Atmel SmartConnect mobile application. Unlike iPhone, Android does not natively support Alert
Notification Service. The Atmel SmartConnect mobile application implements this service and can be
used to demonstrate this example application. The example application supports missed call alert and
SMS alert notification.
The device implements the GATT Client, which reads (or gets notified) about the characteristic values
from the GATT server (the mobile device). The Atmel®ATSAMB11 device must be paired with an Android
phone. After connection and discovery, missed call or SMS alert notifications can be enabled/disabled.
The Atmel SmartConnect application will notify missed calls or SMS alerts, which are then displayed on
the terminal console on the device side. The following chapters provide a detailed description of running
this demo.
The ‘SW0’ user button on the ATSAMB11 is programmed in such a way that each successive button
press will either enable or disable the notifications.

1 Purpose
This getting started guide describes the setup of an Atmel ATSAMB11 Xplained board and bringing up an
example profile supplied as part of BluSDK SMART release. The Alert Notification Profile is an example
application that is embedded as part of the software release package.
This document explains the details about:
1. Getting started with the setup of ATSAMB11 to be used as a Notification Consumer.
2. Getting the ANS Application working on the above mentioned setup.
The example application provided currently supports ‘Missed Call Alert and SMS Notification’.
2 Demo Setup
3 Hardware Setup
Connect the ATSAMB11 board to the host PC using a Micro-USB cable.

4 Software Setup
4.1 Installation Steps
1. Install the latest Atmel Studio [Atmel Studio 7.0 (build 629 or later) web installer
(recommended)]
http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMELSTUDIO.aspx.
2. Install the latest Atmel Software Framework.
This package will install the following examples within the Atmel Studio environment:
Alert Notification application for ATSAMB11
4.2 Build Procedure
The following procedure is explained for ATSAMB11 application example.
1. Select New Example Project.
Figure 4-1. Creating a New Example Project
2. Select “SAMB11” in device family, enter “alert notification” in search window, and expand Atmel
Corp Projects. The location and the name of the project can be selected in the respective fields.
Click OK.
Figure 4-2. Selecting Alert Notification Application from Example Projects
3. Accept the license Agreement. The Atmel studio will generate the Alert Notification Profile project
for ATSAMB11.
4. Build the solution.

5 Console Logging
For the purpose of debugging, a logging interface had been implemented in the ANS Application.
The logging interface utilizes the same EDBG port that connects to ATSAMB11. A serial port monitor
application (for example TeraTerm) shall be opened and attached to the corresponding COM port
enumerated on the PC by the device. Baudrate should be set to 115200.
6 Running the Demo
1. Open a console window using TeraTerm or any equivalent serial port monitor application and
connect to the corresponding COM port enumerated on the PC. Configure the COM Port with the
following settings: Baudrate 115200, Parity None, one Stop bit, one Start bit, no Hardware
Handshake.
2. Press the Reset button on the ATSAMB11 board.
3. The device is now in advertising mode.

4. On the Android phone, enable Bluetooth®in the Settings page. Start the Atmel SmartConnect
mobile application and allow it to scan for devices. ATMEL-ANS will appear amongst the devices
scanned. Click on ATMEL-ANS to connect to the ATSAMB11 device.
