The BlueNRG DK 1.7.0 includes firmware images (V7.1) and API documentation for ''BlueNRG-MS devices.

Can you please explain the differences between BlueNRG and BlueNRG-MS? Other than support for Bluetooth 4.1 in BlueNRG-MS, it is difficult to see any significant differences. Are these the same hardware with different firmware, or different hardware?

Can the firmware in a BlueNRG chip be upgraded from v6.4 to v7.1? Are there advantages in doing so (for example, bug fixes in the later firmware).

Hi Palmer,

The BlueNRG and BlueNRG-MS have a different firmware on a different hardware. Therefore, you cannot upgrade a BlueNRG device with fw v.7.1.

The BlueNRG-MS is a very low power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) single-mode network processor, compliant with Bluetooth specification v4.1, and it supports multiple roles simultaneously.

For further information you can see the product specification that you can find at the following link:
