QUALCOMM’s QCC-711: Bluetooth Low Energy v5.4 SoC

Tri-Core Architecture Leveraging a License Free Open Software Development

Unlike other BLE devices on the market, QCC-711 is the first publicly announced Bluetooth Low Energy device integrating three separate microcontroller-based subsystems with on-chip 128KB SRAM and 512KB RRAM. A dedicated ARM M0 core is provided for the Bluetooth subsystem, a RISC-V for the security processing as well as a dedicated ARM M3 for the application subsystem.

QCC-711 is driven by an open-source software SDK which is available on GitHub, this SDK is currently prepared for Visual Studio and IAR workbench IDEs. The software SDK contains the complete framework for all 3 sub-systems (Application, Bluetooth Low Energy, Root of Trust) and includes ARM Cortex standard libraries (CMSIS) as well as example applications to allow you to get started quickly. QCC-711 is equipped with QUALCOMM Connectivity Integrated Development Environment (QCCIDE) based upon Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode). The QCC-711 specific VScode extension plug-in is available as open-source software to allow customized VSCode specifically for QCC-711.

Key Features of the QCC-711

• Coded PHY: Coded PHY is a new physical layer modulation scheme that is introduced in Bluetooth 5.3 specification. It doubles the range of BLE devices and improves their reliability in noisy environments.
• Advanced hardware-based security: The QCC-711 features a dedicated Root of Trust (RoT) CPU and associated memory for trusted execution environment (TEE). This provides a secure environment for running critical tasks, such as key provisioning and secure boot.
• Comprehensive set of peripherals and interfaces: The QCC-711 includes a wide range of peripherals and interfaces, such as QSPI, SPI, UART, I2C, FTC (PWM), ADC, MFP, and PTA.
• Dual operating modes: The QCC-711 can operate in either host-less or hosted mode.
• Integrated power management unit: The QCC-711 includes an integrated power management unit (PMU) with direct battery connection.
• Flexible, license free and open development environment with SDK provided as source code.
• -40 to 85 degrees operating temp range.
