ST BLE Sensor vs nRF Toolbox Usage & Stats
The ST BLE Sensor application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol.
After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities.
The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy.
The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality.
Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics

nRF Toolbox works with a wide range of Bluetooth Low Energy accessories.
It contains applications demonstrating BLE profiles: Cycling Speed and Cadence, Running Speed and Cadence, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Pressure Monitor, Health Thermometer, Glucose Monitor, Continuous Glucose Monitor, Proximity Monitor and more.
The Device Firmware Update (DFU) profile, that is also included, allows you to upload the application image over-the-air (OTA). It is compatible with Nordic Semiconductor nRF5x devices that have the SoftDevice and DFU Bootloader installed.
The source code of this application is available on GitHub:
