About SIG certification #1120

Closed rf-man closed 2 years ago

rf-man commented 2 years ago

I'm currently developing software for the ESP32-WROOM-32E, and investigating appropriate QDID combinations to proceed with SIG certification as an End Product. This time, I'm using "ESP32 BLE Arduino" as the software development environment, but what should I register as the QDID? QDID Examples： ・164224：ESP-IDF Bluedroid Host ・141499：ESP NimBLE Host

I have made a similar inquiry to the Arduino side, but they have refused to respond because "ESP32 BLE Arduino" is an unofficial library.

If you have any examples of past developments, please respond.

This library is based on esp-idf bludroid, but if espressif refused to respond (smartass) then here you wont get more help. Not because i dont want to help, its because i know nothing about certifications.

@chegewara

Thanks for the quick response. I understand this library is based on esp-idf bludroid.

With all due respect, just to be sure, Am I correct in assuming that you are involved in some way in the development of this library? If you mean the opinions of those involved in the development of the library, this would be very valuable evidence in this survey.

chegewara commented 2 years ago

Yes, you may say i was involved.

@chegewara

Thank you for your response. I will proceed to check with Espressif again based on the information you answered.

I am not expert on this but I think the following is correct: SIG certification is quite expensive: $8000,- per project. You can not include in one project two different SW stacks; e.g. ESP-IDF Bluedroid Host and ESM NimBLE Host; you have to decide which one you want to use. Otherwise you have to pay 2x$8000,-. You also have to take care that you select the right QDID which fits to your ESP-IDF version. If you are using ESP32 BLE Arduino you need to check which ESP-IDF version is used for the ESP32 BLE Arduino version you are using.

@squonk11 Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the SIG certification. I would be careful about software version consistency.
