2 Bluetooth QuickStart Kit
This chapter provides a description of the Bluetooth QuickStart Kit; the platform (software
and hardware aspects), features, and typical usage.
2.1 Software Platform
The Bluetooth QuickStart Kit includes a pre-designed software platform that integrates a
mayor part of the needed infrastructure for advanced Bluetooth applications. By using the
platform you avoid the long and narrow “do-it-yourself” way when start using new
technology with all these typical activities:
• Researching (RTOS, Compiler/IDE, TCP/IP Stack, PPP Stack, Web Server, File
System)
• Hardware design (this is of course not part of the software platform, but an activity
that is typically also required if you don’t buy an off-the-shelf hardware board).
• Configuration (RTOS, Compiler/IDE, TCP/IP Stack, PPP Stack, Web Server, File
System, Board Support Package)
• Testing (hardware, each individual software component, integrating the platform)
Figure 1 below illustrates both the software and hardware side of the Bluetooth QuickStart
Kit platform. Many sample applications are included in the kit just to lower the threshold of
start using the kit and to quickly get you up-and-running. The green parts in the picture
illustrate the mayor software infrastructure functions.
