The Bluetooth protocol stack is designed especially for OEM embedded applications that require Bluetooth radio connectivity. It is a complete implementation of the Bluetooth V1.0B specification that works with both data and voice/audio applications. With the addition appropriate OEM-provided, all of the Bluetooth standard profiles can be supported.

The included protocols are:
• Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP)
• RFCOMM
• Service Discovery Protocol (SDP)
• Multi-Transport Object Exchange Protocol (OBEX)
• Telephony Control Protocol (TCS)
• IrMC (Level 4 Server)

In addition, a manager software module is included for configuration and for monitoring the operations of the stack. The company's printing software is available as an option to enable printing capabilities on the embedded device.

The Bluetooth protocol stack includes a generalized operating system interface that can be easily modified to support virtually any real time operating system. Written entirely in ANSI C, the Bluetooth stack code is designed to be modular. Only the desired functionality needs to be enabled, and unused modules can be eliminated at compile time. Less than 50,000 bytes of code is required to implement the basic stack. User-written applications can communicate with the stack through simple well-defined APIs. A sample HCI driver is provided to assist in the development process.

The Bluetooth stack is designed for any embedded device that requires Bluetooth wireless communications. Applications for the Bluetooth stack include cellular phones, digital cameras, printers, consumer electronics, access points, and much more. The optional printing protocols make it especially well-suited for any application that requires printing, for example, printing from cellular phones or PDAs.

Evaluation versions of the embedded protocol stack for Bluetooth will include source code, protocols, sample HCI, documentation, sample application programs and test coding.
