It strikes me that this wouldn't even need to be STM32 centric, there should be vendors in the commercial marketplace addressing Bluetooth/Android connectivity. Hardware, stacks, whatever. I'm not sure ST is going to provide free resources to every niche application, but they do maintain a list of consultants with experience in varied fields.

Why not? Others did it!

Why not?

Because I don't want YOUR software engineering costs amortized into MY part costs. I'm not suggesting that having such a library wouldn't be beneficial in the general sense, but that as a business case for ST (or whomever) the cost of writing and licensing a ''free'' library is not without real cost. ST is in the business of selling chips, tens of millions of them, it is the job of software engineers/developers to write/integrate code to make their projects viable. Maybe there is some ''open-source'' project out there that you can port, these however do not come without their own licensing and utilization issues.
