Bluetooth application on PC using C for nRF52840 DK

[JamesA]

Hi,

I would like to build an application on Ubuntu PC, using github.com/.../nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo
The purpose is to do some analysis of the images taken by Arducam on the PC.
Is there a similar application like the one provided for Android? If so, please provide link.
Else, is there reference material on the procedure to follow to write our own application and APIs that have to be called?

Thanks

I build a  demo on https://github.com/jimmywong2003/nrf52_ble_transfer_jpg.

it is used the python script to get the jpeg file through uart and send to android phone.  You can look for it as reference.

Hi,

Thank you for the information.
I am using Arducam 2MP mini module with nRF52840DK
My requirement is as below
1. Use the available hex files 'nrf52840_xxaa_side_header.hex' along with the softdevice
2. Build an application preferably in C on Ubuntu and send BT commands/messages (with options of image resolution) to nRF52->Arducam to capture images.
3. Receive the image from nRF52 in the application and do further analysis
Simply putting it down, I need the Android application in github.com/.../Android-Image-Transfer-Demo on Ubuntu (only image part, no streaming required)
Does the application you suggest achieve this?
I am new to this kind of development... please help

Thanks

If you are using the Ubuntu and connect to the nRF52 (Arducam), you can try 

https://github.com/noble/noble to run on the ubuntu (using the native BLE host controller inside PC).

if you use the nRF52 dongle connecting to ubuntu, you may try to use the pc_ble_driver and run the example on c.

I can't see any demo application which have already suited for your requirement.
