CSR Releases Bluetooth Software
for Developers
Cambridge Silicon Radio
(CSR) has released its Bluetooth software, BlueCore Host Software,
to allow designers to embed Bluetooth into a range of
Windows-enabled devices, from mobile phones to PDAs.
CSR said it can now offer customers a "fully engineered
hardware and software solution for embedded applications that is
pre-qualified to version 1.1 of the Bluetooth standard."
According to CSR, BCHS is the first software to run on the
Bluetooth stack on the BlueCore hardware leaving only the Bluetooth
profiles to run on the host system. This means requirements for host
processing power and memory are reduced.
At the moment, the following profiles are supported:
- Audio Gateway
- Dial-up Networking
- Object Push
"This is a complete solution including everything from the
antenna through CSR’s single-chip silicon to sample end-user
applications," said Eric Janson, vice president North America,
CSR. "The developer can rapidly enable embedded devices with
Bluetooth capability, incurring minimum design risk, ensuring
fastest time to network."
