It is not always possible to use a modern IDE for embedded software development. Sometimes your project uses a custom build system or a workflow that is hard to integrate with your favorite IDE. Apache Mynewt project has a modular design with features split into packages, dependencies and configuration files. It simplifies the architecture of the whole system and gives a lot of power to the user but also complicates the build process. To manage all of that a Newt tool was created. It is a smart build and package management system, that can handle multiple source repositories, decide what to include in a build and manage dependencies between components of the system. And one of it’s newer features is an integration with CMake.

Automated Bluetooth testing and qualification of Mynewt NimBLE with auto-pts
We are happy to announce that auto-pts now supports Mynewt NimBLE stack!
To test and qualify your Bluetooth product you have to use a tool called Profile Tuning Suite (PTS) from Bluetooth SIG organization. It is a Windows program that you can use to manually run test cases using a graphical user interface. The process of testing manually requires a tester to operate both the device and the PTS program. This is a tedious job and can take one man-month. We described this process in one of our blog posts before. There is a tool that can speed that up to a few hours by fully automating the testing process.
