Full description

Debug Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices from Android. BleSmith is a BLE GATT debugger for firmware and embedded engineers: scan nearby devices, inspect GATT services, decode advertising data, monitor RSSI, and test compatible DFU and OTA workflows from one workbench. BLE Scanner and Advertisement Analyzer • Discover nearby Bluetooth LE devices and advertisers in real time • Filter by device name, MAC address, service UUID, and RSSI • Inspect raw advertising data, manufacturer data, TX power, PHY, and intervals • Decode iBeacon, Eddystone, and AltBeacon packets • Scan BLE 5 extended and coded PHY advertisements on supported devices GATT Explorer and Client • Browse services, characteristics, and descriptors • Read and write values in common developer formats • Subscribe to notifications and indications • Adjust MTU, PHY, and connection priority • Monitor signal strength and characteristic values live Packet Decoder and Protocol Tools • Build declarative or scripted decoders for custom BLE payloads • Preview decoded fields from live device data • Import definitions from Protobuf or C structs • Export Wireshark Lua dissectors, C headers, and JSON RSSI Monitoring, Logging, and Automation • Plot RSSI and telemetry in real time • Test GATT throughput and UART-style data streams • Run repeatable multi-step BLE test sequences • Manage multiple device connections • Export sessions as CSV, JSON, or PCAPNG • Import Bluetooth snoop logs for Wireshark analysis BLE Peripheral and GATT Server • Turn your Android phone into a BLE peripheral • Start GATT server templates for Heart Rate, Battery, Device Information, Nordic UART, and HID • Clone a discovered GATT structure for app and firmware testing DFU and OTA Firmware Updates • Run Nordic legacy and secure DFU • Update Zephyr and Mynewt devices with MCUmgr/SMP • Use generic BLE OTA workflows for compatible firmware • Test standard BLE devices built with ESP32, nRF52, Arduino-compatible boards, sensors, wearables, and IoT hardware Built for BLE Development • Vendor-neutral tools for firmware bring-up, mobile integration, and QA • Focused dark interface for long debugging sessions • BLE project data and saved workspace files stay on your device An account is required to use BleSmith. Bluetooth and location permissions are used for nearby-device discovery as required by Android and device compatibility.

What's new

Bug fixes and reliability improvements: • Fixed sharing exported GATT, automation, security, and text logs, which could fail to open on some devices • Fixed device connection status not updating correctly after reconnecting • Hardened DFU firmware updates with stronger trust verification and more reliable background handling for Silicon Labs and STM32WB targets
