Figure 8.3: Virtual Machine
In Figure 8.3, this version of the stack firmware shown requires no host processor (but can use a host processor
for debugging etc.). All software layers, including application software, run on the internal RISC processor in a
protected user software execution environment known as a Virtual Machine (VM).
The user may write custom application code to run on the BlueCore VM using BlueLab™ software development
kit (SDK) supplied with the BlueLab Multimedia and Casira development kits, available separately from CSR.
This code will then execute alongside the main BlueCore firmware. The user is able to make calls to the
BlueCore firmware for various operations.
The execution environment is structured so the user application does not adversely affect the main software
routines, thus ensuring that the Bluetooth stack software component does not need re-qualification when the
application is changed.
Using the VM and the BlueLab SDK the user is able to develop applications such as a cordless headset or other
profiles without the requirement of a host controller. BlueLab is supplied with example code including a full
implementation of the headset profile.
Note:
Sample applications to control PIO lines can also be written with BlueLab SDK and the VM for the HCI stack.
