Bluetooth for All!

The aim of this project is to support devices for which the OS either does not provide a Bluetooth Stack or the available stack is severely limited (e.g., on the iPhone).

It provides a portable Bluetooth Stack that runs as a user-space daemon and will support different Bluetooth HCI transport layers (e.g., HCI H4 UART and H5 the "Tree-Wire" protocol), different inter-process communication methods, and support multiple applications in parallel.

It is not a port of an existing Bluetooth Stack. However, best practices from the Bluetooth Stack used in the BTnode Project at ETH Zurich and others are incorporated.

For a first overview, have a look at this BTstack presentation at the Google Open Source Jam in Zurich with a focus on the iPhone where I've presented the iPhone WiiMote OpenGL demo. Look in at the Wiki pages for an Architecture overview and a little GettingStarted example.
