ATBTLC1000 BluSDK
ANCS Profile - Getting Started Guide
USER GUIDE
Introduction
This getting started guide describes the setup of the Atmel®ATBTLC1000 with a supported platform (see
Table 2-1) bringing up an example profile supplied as part of BluSDK release. The Bluetooth®Apple®
Notification Center Service is an example application that is embedded as part of the software release
package. The device acts as Alert Notification Client with custom UUID as per Apple’s ANCS
specification. This service is unique to Apple and available only on iOS devices.
The ANCS Profile is used to enable a device to obtain notifications from an iOS device that exposes
Apple Notification Center Service.
The ANCS Profile defines two roles:
Notification Provider (NP):
The Notification Provider is a device that provides the IOS notifications.
Notification Consumer (NC):
The Notification Consumer is a device that receives the IOS notifications and notification related
data from Notification Provider.
This document explains the details about:
1. Getting started with the setup of supported platform (see Table 2-1) to be used as a Notification
Consumer.
2. Getting the ANCS Application working on the above mentioned setup.
The example application provided currently supports only ‘Incoming Call Alert Notification’.
Features
Device Discovery and Disconnection
Pairing / Bonding
Apple Notification Center Service
Alert on incoming call

4 Incoming Call Notification
The SAM L21 or supported platform (see Table 2-1) + ATBTLC1000 device must be paired with an
iPhone®
1
after which, upon an incoming call received by the iPhone, a notification is displayed in the
console.
Bluetooth®SIG defined Alert Notification Profile provides similar functionality. ANCS is a variant of Alert
Notification Profile customized by Apple. For similar functionality on Android devices, please refer to the
Alert Notification Profile example application provided by Atmel.

Figure 5-5. Flash the ANCS Application to SAM L21
6. Once the application is flashed the ANCS Application is ready for usage.
6 Console Logging
For the purpose of debugging, a logging interface has been implemented in the ANCS Application.
The logging interface utilizes the same EDBG port that connects to supported platform (see Table 2-1). 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. Baud rate should be set to 115200.
7 Running the Demo
1. Connect the ATBTLC1000 Xplained Pro Board to SAM L21 Xplained Pro EXT1 as shown in Figure
3-2. (The steps mentioned below use SAM L21 as reference. If SAM D21 or SAM G55 is used for
the demo, the same steps are applicable.)
2. Open a console window using TeraTerm or any equivalent serial port monitor application and
connect to the corresponding COM port enumerated on the PC.
3. Press the Reset button on the SAM L21 or supported platform (see Table 2-1) board.
4. The device is now in advertising mode.
