iPad accessory communication through UART

We manufacture a new accessory for iPad/iPhone which should transfer commands to the iPad. We like to use UART (through a certain Apple-protocol called Lingo). My research shows that I can only use USB (30PIN Connector) and custom protocols.

Question:

  • Is there any way to use UART to connect to the iPad accessory from APP side?
  • If the protocol is implemented in UART, we should be able to move it to USB, if it‘s not available to my App via USB.

My main guess is that the UART commands & access are protocols reserved to the iPhone OS and not available to Apps. Certain UART commands also include settings for volumes and Audio re-routing etc, so I guess that‘s secured.

reference：

Without jailbreak, you will not be able to access UART on iPad/iPod/iPhone as a normal developer. If you need access to the serial port or USB, you need to join Apple‘s MFi ("Made for iPhone") program and you will get full access to all relevant information. Unfortunately, you‘ll have to convince Apple that you‘re doing serious business and have a high volume manufacturing facility at hand (see also this thread).

做嵌入式开发,UART几乎是必不可少的,调试串口.GPS.GPRS.Bluetooth等模块很多都是用的UART接口.时下火热的IoT也不乏UART的身影,串口的BLE.WIFI.Zigbee.Lora等等模块,一堆一堆.前一篇提到的NUC972竟然内置了11个UART,也就可以理解了.虽然之前已基于串口做了很多工具软件,如S3C2410的烧录助手.WinCE串口调试助手.GPRS拨号助手.蓝牙模块调试助手等等,但现在搞IoT再弄串口,还是有必要整理一下这方面的知识,毕竟IoT跟教学实验设备甚至

USB Accessory 模式

USB Accessory 模式USB附件模式允许用户连接专为Android设备设计的USB主机硬件.配件必须遵守Android配件开发套件文档中概述的Android附件协议.这使得无法充当USB主机的Android电源设备仍然可以与USB硬件交互.当Android设备处于USB附件模式时,所附的Android USB附件充当主机,为USB总线供电,并列举连接的设备. Android 3.1(API级别12)支持USB附件模式,并且该功能也被返回到Android 2.3.4(API级别10),以

iOS 后台运行实现

iOS 后台运行的规则 应用的运行状态分为以下五种:Not running:应用还没有启动,或者应用正在运行但是途中被系统停止.Inactive:当前应用正在前台运行,但是并不接收事件(当前或许正在执行其它代码).一般每当应用要从一个状态切换到另一个不同的状态时,中途过渡会短暂停留在此状态.唯一在此状态停留时间比较长的情况是:当用户锁屏时,或者系统提示用户去响应某些(诸如电话来电.有未读短信等)事件的时候.Active:当前应用正在前台运行,并且接收事件.这是应用正在前台运行时所处的正常状态Su
