  13. Bluetooth driver development interfaces overview Robin Heydon Technical Consultant CSR plc

  14. Value proposition to CSR • Our customers who wish to use a Microsoft Stack • Gives them level of flexibility to add profiles • We will support them in adding these profiles • Leverage current Microsoft Stack • Reusing the existing robust code base • Add functionality that our customers want • Leverage CSR profile code base • Used in many end products already - interoperability

  15. Bluetooth DDI Interface • Interfaces to Bluetooth L2CAP and SDP • Using IOCTLs to perform actions • IOCTL_BTH_GET_LOCAL_INFO • Reads Bluetooth Local Radio Information • BD_ADDR, Version Numbers, Name, Class Of Device, Supported Features • IOCTL_BTH_SDP_SUBMIT_RECORD_WITH_INFO • Writes an SDP record that will be published • Also includes Class of Device, Security, Browsability • IOCTL_INTERNAL_BTH_SUBMIT_BRB • Does most of the other useful stuff • Create connections, send data, etc…

  16. Bluetooth BRB Interface • Using Internal Bth Submit BRB, you can: • Connect to services • BRB_L2CA_OPEN_CHANNEL • BRB_L2CA_ACL_TRANSFER • BRB_L2CA_CLOSE_CHANNEL • Register connectable services • BRB_REGISTER_PSM • L2CAP_SERVER_INTERFACE • ConnectionIndication • BRB_L2CA_OPEN_CHANNEL_RESPONSE

  17. Example Service • L2CAP_SERVER_INTERFACE • Associates the PSM with an IndicationCallback function • BRB_REGISTER_PSM • Registers the PSM as connectable • IOCTL_BTH_SDP_SUBMIT_RECORD_WITH_INFO • Publishes an SDP record describing the service • IndicationCallback (ConnectionIndication) • Indicates that a inbound connection has arrived • BRB_L2CA_OPEN_CHANNEL_RESPONSE • Accepts this inbound connection • L2CA_TRANSFER_DATA • Transfers data, in and out • L2CA_CLOSE_CHANNEL • Closes the channel

  18. Summary • Providing everything that is required • Registering of PSMs • Registering of SDP records • Open / Read / Write / Close L2CAP Channels • Connectionless Data • Easy to use • Easy to extend current stack • Add current and new profiles

  19. Bluetooth Roadmap Features That are Interesting to Microsoft • Bluetooth QoS • Efficient service discovery • Alphanumeric PINs • Simple pairing

  20. Bluetooth QoS • Myth: EDR will solve my problems of limited Bluetooth bandwidth, when using a stereo headset with other Bluetooth devices (like HID devices, printers, sync with mobile phones). With EDR, I don’t need QoS

  21. Bluetooth QoS (con’t) • Reality: EDR does increase the Bluetooth bandwidth to 2-3 Mbps, but is not an alternative to QoS, stereo audio, HID devices, printers all operate over ACL links with no channel access guarantees QoS is needed for better coexistence of Stereo audio profiles with other Bluetooth profiles

  22. Efficient Service Discovery • Current protocol takes a long time to discover Bluetooth devices and resolve their user friendly names  Bad user experience • ~ 5-6 sec to discover all Bluetooth 1.2 devices • ~ 10-11 sec to discover all Bluetooth 1.1 devices • Remote name resolution (RNR) takes an additional 0.5 - 2 sec per device • Efficient service discovery reduces requirements to make baseband connections during device discovery  Better user experience • Reduces the need to issue RNR duringdevice discovery

  23. Improving Sync Experience on Windows OS • COM ports challenges • User Experience • COM ports are hard to configure • User must manually select them • My sync experience

  24. Question: I Am an ISV Writing Sync Applications, What Should I Do? • Recommendation: Develop PC applications that use sockets to communicate to Bluetooth devices • Socket interfaces are very common • Provide richer environment • More predictable buffering / data flow • Good error status indications • More control over connections • Link to Online SDKhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/bluetooth/bluetooth/bluetooth_start_page.asp

  25. Some of the Partners Who Have Developed Their Sync Applications Using the Microsoft SDK for Bluetooth “Nokia's mission is to offer to the best products and solutions with a superior user experience. Cooperation with industry leaders, such as Microsoft, will enable us to offer truly compelling choices to mobile users. Nokia PC Suite software developed using these new Microsoft’s tools for Bluetooth provides our customers with a great end user experience when they connect and synch their mobile phone with their Bluetooth enabled Windows PC” - Jouni Rapakko, Technology Manager, PC Suite Unit, Nokia

  28. Summary • Product name: Microsoft stack for Bluetoothon Longhorn • Low power cable replacement technology • Microsoft stack for Bluetooth is extensible • Value proposition to partners • Reduce development cost, time to market for their Bluetooth product • Microsoft provides the core stack functionality and APIs • Partners can focus on developing profiles • Product differentiation • Device vendors can develop custom profiles for theirdevices using the Microsoft SDK for Bluetooth,Microsoft DDK for Bluetooth

  29. Appendix

  30. Recommendation: Bluetooth Security • Use strong PINs • Windows XP SP2 recommends the use of 8-character PIN length • Support Alphanumeric PINs whenever possible(2005 Bluetooth SIG Roadmap feature) • Don’t default to the discoverable state • Don’t hardwire the same PINs to all your devices

  31. Improving Overall User Experience • Recommendation: Use the Bluetooth UI in Windows XP SP2 to discover, connect, and bind remote devices • Provide a consistent interface so that users don’t have to learn multiple interfaces • The BluetoothSelectDevices API can be usedto invoke our UI • Link to SDK • http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/bluetooth/bluetooth/bluetooth_start_page.asp

  32. Question: I am an ISV . . . • Ideal situation is remote device uses RFCOMM directly without Serial Port profile • If remote device uses SPP and depends RS232 status signals like RTS, CTS, RI, etc, then applications can manipulate RS232 signals by using SIO_RFCOMM_SEND_COMMAND socket IOCTL • Applications can also implement the other parts of the SPP protocol like RPN and RLS messages viasocket IOCTL
