USER GUIDE
Introduction
This getting started guide describes the setup of Atmel ATBTLC1000 with a supported platform
bringing-up an example profile supplied as part of BluSDK release. The Bluetooth Time Information
Profile is an example profile application implementing BLE Time Service. The Bluetooth device when
connected with a compatible iPhone device supporting Time service reads the current time, date and day
information from the iPhone and displays it on the console. This example application also works with BLE
compatible Android devices running Atmel Smart Connect mobile application.

1 Description
The Time Information Profile implements Time Service that is used to read the current time, date and day
information from an iPhone.
The profile defines two roles:
Time Client:
The Time Client is the device in peripheral role that reads the time, date and day information. This
is implemented in supported platform example application.
Time Server:
The Time Server is the device that provides the time related information.
The Time Service is supported natively in iOS 7.0 and above. For BLE compatible Android
devices, Atmel Smart Connect mobile application implements the Time Server.
This document explains the details about:
1. Getting started with the setup of supported platform.
2. Getting the Time Information Profile Application working on the above mentioned setup.
To test this profile example, an iPhone supporting iOS 7.0 (or above) or a BLE compatible Android phone
running Atmel Smart Connect mobile application.

3. Before building the solution, if the user is working with android devices user should make sure that
there shall be a compiler symbol ” TP_ANDROID” and if user is working with iOS devices the same
complier symbol should be renamed as “NTP_ANDROID” as shown below.
Figure 5-3. Editing Compiler Symbols
Note: iOS requires the device supporting Time Profile to include service solicitation advertisement type
in the advertisement data. The above setting provides configurability to build the Time Profile for
iOS or for Android. iOS natively supports Time Server and does not require a specific mobile
application. To enable devices to be displayed in the iOS BLE devices page, the service
solicitation advertisement data type configuration is necessary.
4. Build the solution.
