For the Bluetooth? Developers Conference,
IVT Corporation announces the commercial availability of a
Bluetooth? protocol stack in SDL and C, and a VAR agreement with
CS VERILOG to provide the SDL supporting development tools.
IVT Corporation, a company devoted to protocol design, testing
and implementation, is now delivering a complete Bluetooth?
Protocol Stack. This protocol stack includes the HCI, L2CAP, SDP,
RFCOMM and TCS layers. Additional layers such as WAP, IP, UDP and
OBEX will be added soon. The IVT Bluetooth? Protocol Stack is
available in both the International Telecommunication Union's
(ITU) Specification and Description Language (SDL) and in C source
code. SDL is a standard formal description technique from the ITU,
which has been widely used for designing wireless protocols such
as ETSI GSM or IEEE 802.11. IVT has used CS VERILOG's ObjectGEODE
as the SDL support tool to develop the IVT Bluetooth? Protocol
Stack. IVT has also developed a lightweight Bluetooth?
interoperability and conformance testing environment running on
Windows. The IVT Bluetooth? Protocol Stack addresses all
Bluetooth? protocol and application developers who want to get to
market faster with high-quality Bluetooth?-enabled products.
ObjectGEODE is a toolset dedicated to analysis, design,
verification and validation through simulation, code generation
and testing of real-time and distributed applications. ObjectGEODE
supports a coherent integration of complementary object-oriented
approaches based on standards: UML (Unified Modeling Language),
SDL and MSC (Message Sequence Chart). ObjectGEODE provides
graphical editors, a powerful interactive, random and exhaustive
simulator, and a C/C++ code generator, which targets popular
real-time OS.
Major benefits of using SDL and ObjectGEODE for developing the
Bluetooth protocol stack:
The quality of the protocol implementation: IVT discovered some
ambiguities and incomplete areas in the Bluetooth? specification
1.0 (which are currently being fixed) by using ObjectGEODE to
perform protocol verification and validation.
Platform independence: The production-quality C code that is
generated from the SDL model is platform-independent and can
easily be ported to real-time OS such as VxWorks, VRTX, pSOS+,
OSE, Win32, Windows CE, Nucleus, Posix or bare systems.
Faster application development: By designing at the SDL level,
manufacturers can get high quality Bluetooth?-enabled applications
to market faster.
The IVT Bluetooth? Protocol Stack is made up of several
modules:
The IVT Bluetooth? SDL Protocol Stack is delivered as a set of
SDL source files, with examples of applications and user
documentation.
The IVT Bluetooth? C Protocol Stack is delivered as a set of C
source files, with examples of applications and user
documentation.
The IVT Bluetooth? Application Design Framework is used to
accelerate the application design (in SDL) and implementation of
Bluetooth? applications.
