BC41B143A-DS-003PC Datasheet, PDF (43/94 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – BlueCore 4-ROM Plug-n-Go Single Chip Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR System

CSR Bluetooth Software Stacks
9.5 Host-Side Software
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can be ordered with companion host-side software:
ƒ BlueCore3-PC includes software for a full Windows 98/ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP Bluetooth
host-side stack together with IC hardware described in this document.
ƒ BlueCore3-Mobile includes software for a full host-side stack designed for modern ARM chip-based mobile
handsets together with IC hardware described in this document.
9.6 Device Firmware Upgrade
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go is supplied with boot loader software, which implements a Device Firmware Upgrade
(DFU) capability. This allows new firmware to be uploaded to the Flash memory through BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go
UART or USB ports.
9.7 BCHS Software
BlueCore Embedded Host Software is designed to enable CSR customers to implement Bluetooth functionality into
embedded products quickly, cheaply and with low risk.
BCHS is developed to work with CSR's family of BlueCore ICs. BCHS is intended for embedded products that have a
host processor for running BCHS and the Bluetooth application, e.g., a mobile phone or a PDA. BCHS together with
the BlueCore IC with embedded Bluetooth core stack (L2CAP, RFCOMM and SDP) is a complete Bluetooth system
solution from RF to profiles.
BCHS includes most of the Bluetooth intelligence and gives the user a simple API. This makes it possible to develop
a Bluetooth product without in-depth Bluetooth knowledge.
The BlueCore Embedded Host Software contains three elements:
ƒ Example Drivers (BCSP and proxies)
ƒ Bluetooth Profile Managers
ƒ Example Applications
The profiles are qualified which makes the qualification of the final product very easy. BCHS is delivered with source
code (ANSI C). BCHS also comes with example applications in ANSI C, which makes the process of writing the
application easier.
9.8 Additional Software for Other Embedded Applications
When the upper layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack are run as firmware on BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go, a UART
software driver is supplied that presents the L2CAP, RFCOMM and Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) APIs to higher
Bluetooth stack layers running on the host. The code is provided as C source or object code.
9.9 CSR Development Systems
CSR’s BlueLab Multimedia and Casira development kits are available to allow the evaluation of the BlueCore4-ROM
Plug-n-Go hardware and software, and as toolkits for developing on-chip and host software.
