Extended Systems (NASDAQ:XTND), a leading provider of
mobile software solutions, announced today during the Embedded Systems
Conference the availability of XTNDAccess Blue Software Development
Kit (SDK) for Linux. The latest release in a long line of Bluetooth
protocol stack and profile technologies, XTNDAccess Blue SDK for Linux
enables developers to easily implement Bluetooth capabilities on
devices using a Linux operating system.
"As a wireless protocol stack provider for more than nine years
and provider of Bluetooth protocol stacks since 2000, we have been
involved in hundreds of Bluetooth implementations. There is now a
definite trend among worldwide device manufacturers to use Linux as
their operating system of choice," said Nathan Pendleton, VP of Mobile
Device Solutions at Extended Systems. "As a natural evolution of our
product line, this SDK will provide developers using the Linux
platform with an industry-validated Bluetooth solution specifically
for embedded systems developers."
XTNDAccess Blue SDK for Linux runs as a module to Linux kernel
version 2.4, enabling developers to implement Bluetooth functionality
without having to be an expert in the technology. The protocol stacks,
profiles, and Linux integration modules are delivered in source code
form and are specifically designed for developers of small, embedded
devices. Further, the product will be qualified by a Bluetooth
Qualification Body (BQB) from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group
(SIG) in September 2005. BQB certification ensures developers that the
protocol stack and profiles have been written in strict compliance to
Bluetooth SIG specifications, ensuring interoperability. For
developers adding Bluetooth wireless communications to their products,
"outsourcing" the core Bluetooth protocol stack technology from
Extended Systems will result in a feature rich and highly reliable
implementation.
The core protocol stack functionality includes support for HCI,
L2CAP, RFCOMM, OBEX, and the Service Discovery, Serial Port, Generic
Object Exchange, File Transfer, Object Push, and Dial Up Networking
profiles. Extended Systems also offers additional qualified profiles
such as the Human Interface Device profile, which may be licensed
separately from the core protocol stack. Additional profile support
for Headset, Hands-Free, and Audio/Video is scheduled for delivery by
the end of calendar year 2005.
As with its other products, Extended Systems will offer a full
maintenance and support program for XTNDAccess Blue SDK for Linux.
An online seminar will be offered by Extended Systems on October
12, 2005, at 12:00 p.m. EST to describe the product in further detail.
Interested parties may register for the seminar by accessing
www.extendedsystems.com/bluelinuxseminar. A recording of the seminar
will also be available after the event.
