If we choose to replace the smartBASIC firmware with our own firmware, does the Bluetooth SIG End Product Listing (EPL) still apply to our module?

Answer

If you replace the smartBASIC firmware with your own, the EPL no longer applies to your BL600. Despite this, you can reuse Laird’s QDID for the BL600 hardware to recertify your final product with your own software/firmware applications.
