all was suposed to be BLUE...

Summer has gone, it can be seen in the activity of the blog, but somehow felt that there was the need to at least say something about all these...

2004 times was when I first got in contact with that technology, the knowledge of that unfinished project was still in my head and I really had the need to dump it somewhere while it was still in my mind... as a legacy of those times.

The ones who physically remember me (partyzipa, germany...) saw me with still an old Nokia 3330 cell phone. So hard to believe but some months ago, in my Madrid times, I got my brother's former mobile, a Sony Ericsson Z600. And what? I just wanted 2 features: Java(J2ME this will be for another post) and Bluetooth capabilities.

So already when I was in Madrid, the background work started. Some Headers here, some definitions there... directory structure. But I just had real code production in the last 2 weeks.

At the moment I have laying in a floppy disk what seems to be a beta version of a USB-Bluetooth driver. Waiting to be compiled, and start the debugging and testing stage.

More or less the coding stage is done. I have a serious issue with a dependency with a Haiku kernel module, which might prevent the Bluetooth system to work on R5 at all. It lacks support for [e]SCO connections (and will for a while). For the testing, an emulation of the next layer of the architecture will need to be implemented... until proper implementation.

Which layer? Bluetooth-HCI but these and architecture details will be also in another post.

No need to comment that if someone in the comunity has experience in the technology as dev or as user, many sugestions design/integration help can be done to this future Bluetooth Haiku Subsystem, just comment ;)
