functionality, the software module provides frame level and multi-slot
functionality. It also performs scheduling and QOS functions.
HCI: The HCI module provides routing of various HCI commands/events and data and
voice packets. It provides an API for various transports and higher layer
protocol stacks to interface with the Odyssey Software.
The Odyssey protocol stack interfaces with Silicon Wave's SiW1602 Link
Controller IC or Baseband SIP & SiW1502 Radio Modem IC.
Odyssey software is licensed as C-source and requires 12 Kbytes RAM, 128 Kbytes ROM, and
presents less than
5 MIPS load on the host. The Odyssey Software can be ported to a wide range of micro-controllers and
associated RTOS such as Win CE, Embedded Linux, VxWorks, Palm, Micro-Itron, and
other leading OS's.

range of low-cost embedded devices. The major features of the protocol software
include
* Full compliance with the current Bluetooth specification.
* Full support for all currently-defined profiles.
* Upper and lower stack available together or separately
* Easily partitioned across multiple processors.
* Modular architecture that enables portability across a broad range of
processors, real-time operating systems (RTOS), Bluetooth chipsets and
host-controller interface (HCI) transports.
* Comprehensive testability features that enable full regression testing,
including in the target system.
* Deliverables include full "C" source code, SDL, test tools and
scripts, documentation and training.
* Track record - licensed by more than 12 customers (as at August 2001).

Because it is
possible to
analyze not only
the protocol
level but also
the profile
level, it it
easy to isolate
whether the
problem is at
the protocol or
profile level.

Product:
Embedded
Protocol Stack
This product
offers a
complete stack
for embedded
applications. v1.0B
Protocol layers supported are Logical
Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP), RFCOMM, Service Discovery Protocol
(SDP), Multi-Transport Object Exchange Protocol (OBEX), Telephony Control
Protocol (TCS) and IrMC (Level 4 Server)
In addition to the above, a manager
software module is included for configuration and for monitoring the operations
of the stack. TROY XCD’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 very modular. Only the
desired functionality needs to be enabled, and unused modules can be eliminated
at compile time. Less than 50Kbytes
of code is required for the basic stack.
