Alternative Development Systems
ToothPIC applications can be developed using PIC
development environments other than MPLAB,
although complete erasure of the pre-loaded
ToothPIC Services will be necessary. FlexiPanel
Ltd will only have limited ability to support
customers programming it in this way.
Since ToothPIC Services, communication with
BlueMatik will be via the AT command set. The
AT Commands required to control BlueMatik from
the
documentation available at www.FlexiPanel.com.
Security Considerations
Some concerns about Bluetooth security have
been raised when it was discovered that the
software on some mobile phones and PDAs did
not enable the security features inherent in
Bluetooth.
As far as is known, BlueMatik is secure against
hacking provided the security features it provides,

such

correctly.
During application development, the developer
should consider the possibly of hacking and use
the security features provided. Users should be
assumed to be lazy and/or unaware of the need for
security: it should be designed into the application.
FlexiPanel Ltd provides the ToothPIC Services
library exclusively for use with ToothPIC products
that it supplies. It will only work with Bluetooth
components supplied by us.

protect against reverse engineering, some of the
copy protection features in the ToothPIC only
trigger under certain conditions. If the ToothPIC
Services library is used with Bluetooth components
that are not supplied by us, it may work initially but
‘self destruct’ at a later date. Use of such features
minimizes costs to our legitimate customers.
