MATLAB: Where can I find the “BLE Send” and “BLE Receive” blocks in Simulink Support Package for Android Devices

Question

I have installed the Simulink Support Package for Android Devices. However these Bluetooth communications blocks "BLE Send" and "BLE Receive" seem to be missing. Searching also does not find the blocks. Attached is a screenshot showing some of the blocks but not these two.

Here is the documentation for these functions:

https://au.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/android/ref/blereceive.html

I'm running MATLAB & Simulink R2017a

Hello Peter,

The BLE Send and BLE Receive blocks were added to the support package in R2017b. See the support package release notes for the change. If you upgrade to that release and reinstall the support package, you will have access to those blocks.
