Embedded
A developer clip is not a requirement for app development. Our latest watch firmware project is available on Github. Embedded firmware development can be enabled on any of our watch products by using a developer clip. Firmware development is not supported without a developer clip for JTAG access and in-circuit debugging.
MetaWatch Remote Protocol
Any system with Bluetooth SPP or BLE connectivity can communicate with the MetaWatch platform using the MetaWatch Remote Protocol. Latest MWRP document version is 2.0.5.
