Atinav has added support for human interface devices (HIDs) and audio/video devices to its proprietary Bluetooth protocol stack. The aveLink Bluetooth Suite supports Linux and a wide variety of other embedded operating systems, the company says.

Atinav says its HID profile implementation can be used to transition products from a wired to wireless mode of operation. The profile defines the protocol, procedures, and features needed by user-input devices such as keyboards, pointing devices, and barcode readers.

Additionally, Atinav implemented the A2D (advanced audio distribution) and GAVD (generic audio video distribution) profiles, which it says provide seamless distribution of high quality, stereo audio. The company says the protocols enable devices such as MP3 players, audio systems, in-car infotainment systems, televisions, mobile phones, PDAs, gaming devices, and other mobile devices to deliver high quality audio over Bluetooth.

In addition to HID, A2DP, and GAVDP support, the aveLink Bluetooth suite also provides support for the BIP (basic imaging protocol) profile, as well as BPP (basic print profile) and HCRP (hardcopy cable replacement profile).

Atinav says its profiles are developed in pure ANSI C and can easily be integrated with various embedded platforms. The company offers SDKs for both Windows CE and Linux.
