Introduction to iSmarch Smartwatch APP SDK

Software Development Kit (SDK):

The SDK serves as a collection of tools, libraries, documentation, and code samples that facilitate the development of software for smartwatch platform.
By providing access to PPG or accelerometer raw data, the SDK enables customers to create custom applications that utilize this data for various health monitoring and activity tracking features.

The APP SDK serves as a toolkit for mobile application developers, providing a simplified interface for using the Bluetooth communication capabilities of the nRF chipset within your smartwatch. It abstracts the complexities of Bluetooth and sensor data handling, allowing developers to focus on creating feature-rich applications that can leverage the smartwatch’s capabilities.

Difference between APP SDK and Firmware SDK

The APP SDK (Application Software Development Kit) and the firmware SDK (Software Development Kit) serve different purposes in the development ecosystem of smart devices like smartwatches. Here’s how they differ:

APP SDK:

Target Audience: Application developers who create mobile apps for smartphones or tablets.
Purpose: To enable the development of applications that communicate with the smartwatch. These applications typically run on external devices, like a user’s smartphone, and interact with the smartwatch via Bluetooth.
Functionality: The APP SDK provides tools and APIs for discovering the smartwatch, connecting to it, and exchanging data. It allows the mobile app to initiate actions on the smartwatch, such as fetching health data or sending configuration commands.
Components: Includes libraries for integration into mobile apps, documentation, example code, and often a demo application to show how the SDK can be used.

Firmware SDK:

Target Audience: Firmware developers who work on the software that runs directly on the smartwatch itself.
Purpose: To facilitate the development of the firmware that interacts directly with the smartwatch’s hardware and provides the foundational software layer for device operation.
Functionality: The firmware SDK contains tools, libraries, and APIs needed to program the nRF chipset in the smartwatch. This can include low-level control of hardware components, managing Bluetooth connectivity, and real-time processing of sensor data.
Components: Typically includes hardware abstraction layers, peripheral drivers, real-time operating system (RTOS) components, middleware for handling tasks like Bluetooth communication, and comprehensive documentation.

Key Differences:

Level of Abstraction: The APP SDK operates at a higher level of abstraction, focusing on the interface between the smartwatch and external devices. The firmware SDK operates at a lower level, dealing with the internals of the smartwatch.
Development Focus: APP SDK is focused on building software that runs on an external device (like a smartphone), while the firmware SDK is for developing software that runs on the smartwatch itself.
Bluetooth Role: In the APP SDK, Bluetooth tools and libraries are designed to manage wireless communication from the perspective of an external device. In the firmware SDK, Bluetooth components manage the smartwatch’s role in the communication process, including acting as a peripheral or central device.
Execution Environment: Software developed with the APP SDK runs on an external device’s operating system (e.g., iOS or Android). Software developed with the firmware SDK runs directly on the smartwatch’s hardware.

In essence, the APP SDK is for developing applications that run on a separate device and interact with the smartwatch, while the firmware SDK is for developing the smartwatch’s internal software that directly manages and controls the device’s hardware and internal functions.

At iSmarch, we are able to provide both SDK, but here in this page, we are discussing about the APP SDK.
