The Serial Port Service (SPS) emulates a serial cable communication. It provides a simple substitute for RS-232 connections, including the familiar software flow control logic via Bluetooth low energy. The SPS software distribution includes the application and profile source codes.

Software has been developed for the DA14580 Development Kit (DK) - Expert, DA14580 Development Kit (DK) - PRO and DA14580 Development Kit (DK) - Basic and for Android / iOS tablets or phones, allowing a serial port to be emulated using two DA14580 DKs or using a DA14580 DK and an Android / iOS device. The DA14580 DK can either function in the GAP central role or the peripheral role. The Android / iOS device only functions in the GAP central role.

It is available for the DA14585/6 family (Bluetooth 5.0) wiht increased throughput and support for central and peripheral roles ! throughput of up to 640 kbps achievable (DA14585 to DA14585)...
