Bluetooth World Congress, Amsterdam, BV — (press release excerpt) — Lineo and Open Interface North America have announced a strategic partnership to develop advanced Bluetooth solutions for their OEM mobility application customers.

Complete Bluetooth enabled PDAs, Residential Gateways, and Smart Remote solutions will now possible based on a broad spectrum of Embedix Board Support Packages (BSPs) for popular CPUs. Integrating the Lineo BSP line with a ported version of Open Interface's BlueMagic 3.0 allows application developers to move rapidly into the development of custom wireless applications, without undue distraction from the hardware, RTOS, or Bluetooth protocol. Bluetooth modules can be easily integrated into the target platform with minimal time and effort.

Lineo currently provides a wide variety of board support packages including x86, ARM, and SH 3 that Open Interface will Bluetooth-enable from the Embedix SDK. Open Interface will provide pre-ported embedded BlueMagic 3.0 for embedded solution to these BSPs with Embedix RTOS.

BlueMagic 3.0 is based on Open Interface's platform independent, high-performance single-threaded CThru architecture. It is a portable, modular, and scalable stack that has been designed to minimize the cost of integrating Bluetooth technology into an embedded system. Bluetooth application developers are able to configure the BlueMagic 3.0 stack to provide only the functionality required by the application without the need to delve into the stack source code.
