Affix supports core Bluetooth protocols like HCI, L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP and various Bluetooth profiles (see bellow).
Affix features:
Modular implementation.
Socket interface to HCI, L2CAP and RFCOMM protocols.
Bluetooth module interface independence.
SMP safe.
Multiple Bluetooth devices support.
Affix runs on major architectures:
i386.
ARM (e.g. Compaq iPaq).
PowerPC (e.g. iMac).
Sparc.
Affix supports wide range of hardware:
USB based devices
3Com, CSR, NSC, Ericsson, etc.
PCMCIA based device
Nokia DTL1/DTL4, Socket CF, Anycom, Xircom, etc.
UART based devices
Ericsson, Philips, etc.
Affix currently supports the following Bluetooth Profiles:
General Access Profile
Service Discovery Profile
Serial Port Profile
DialUp Networking Profile
LAN Access Profile
OBEX Object Push Profile
OBEX File Transfer Profile
PAN Profile
HID Profile
Affix provides unified interface for all transport drivers. It makes it hardware independent.
Affix consists of following packages:
affix-kernel
affix
affix-kernel provides kernel modules implementing core protocols and Bluetooth device drivers. Kernel modules can be used separately from the kernel or can be linked statically into the kernel.
affix provides control tools, libraries, and server daemons.
Also a module for Python (PyAffix) is available. It can be downloaded from Affix web pages.
We have successfully tested Affix for interoperability with many devices, e.g:
Nokia 6210 with Bluetooth battery pack.
Nokia 6310/6310i.
Nokia 7650.
Ericsson phones (T68).
Compaq iPaq.
Digianswer stack for Windows.
Bluetooth stack for Palm OS.
