AirID SDK for iOS

1.0.4-GA

New or changed:

  • Analyzed and refactored code with regards to initial pairing and LTK / SK creation to make initial LTK key agreement more robust against LTK and SK negotiation failures with AirID1 devices.
  • Moved exchangeKey to AIDDeviceStateConnected
  • Added state counter to better track state changes and having better control for state transits
  • replaced calls to exchangeKey by state reenter 
  • Use state counter for detecting init abort on problems or connectivity issues when Key agreement is in progress.
  • changed Timer Timeout for pairing (from selection to successful final initialization)  from 30.0 seconds to 50.0 seconds 
  • Changed encryption TAG length from 8 to 4 to comply with other platform drivers and make packet transmit more robust
  • Updated logging to use device name where appropriate

Fixed:

  • AirID reader becomes disconnected during initial connection with pairing (regression)
  • Fixed mis guided Timer Timeout which sometimes fires even when Timer was invalidated.  This issue was partly responsible for firing  "Initialization Timeout" Errors even when LTK and SK where successfully negotiated.
  • Use encrypted data length for packet calculation not the "unencrypted" data length.

AirID 2 Mini Firmware Business Edition

1.3.2-GA

 Fixed

  • Shut up USB IRQ noises with older AirID2 hardware revisions -> speed fixes

 Added

  • Disconnect after Bluetooth Pairing when there is no write to AirID service for 3s afterwards
  • Added watchdog to switch off Bluetooth when Battery gets below 3,4V (-0%) to avoid SC failures for power consuming tasks, RSA Keypair generation or other heavy duty operations 
  • Added event logging capability for the last ~100 events to AirID2 firmware 
    • To get an insight view what happens in the BLE stack @ a disconnect, we gather some debug infos:
      • Read last ble disconnect reason in debug menu
      • Information about connection parameters
      • New logging data struct for BLE stack events:
        • size ~100 last events
        • stop logging @ disconnect
        • read data from new RPC command
        • restart logging after read
    • This feature is currently only available from the DEBUG menu of the AirID2 device and not exposed to any SDK / Driver

AirID 2 Mini Firmware Business Edition

1.2.1-GA

Improved

  • NVM rework to make future firmware updates smooth
  • BLE stack updated to v 2.12.3
  • Distance sensor presettings adjusted: near -70dB, mid -75dB, far -80dB
  • If the device is in USB card reader mode, a new bluetooth connection will not make it leave the USB card reader mode
  • Card support: disabled Clock stop support which seems to cause trouble with TicTok cards
  • For AirID Mini: Linearization of battery level during charging and discharging

Note for firmware updates

The device settings will be set to default for firmware updates from versions lower than v1.1.1. Please check your device settings after doing the firmware update

Note for firmware downgrades

If you want to downgrade to 1.1.1, first do a downgrade to 1.1.0, then upgrade to 1.1.1, otherwise NVM in 1.1.1 will not work even after factory reset. If re-updating, do a factory reset.

Note for users with version 1.2.0-rc1/rc2

For firmware updates from version 1.2.0-rc1/rc2, make sure the USB cable is not connected BEFORE the update process is started. In case the device is already connected via USB, replug the cable to enter the flashing mode.
