BlueZ is the official implementation of a protocol stack for the Bluetooth wireless standard for Linux . It is developed as free software under the GNU General Public License (GPL) in the C programming language . The Bluetooth Special Interest Group recognizes it as a qualified protocol stack. The bluez-utils and bluez-firmware packages contain additional configuration and test tools:
- dfutool
- is used to find out whether the firmware of a Bluetooth chipset can be updated, and
- hcitool
- to find accessible Bluetooth devices
- sdptool
- uses the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) to query accessible devices for their services
hidd is the daemon for Human Interface Device (HID). There are frontends such as BTScanner or BlueSniff for the additional tools.
history
The project was launched by Qualcomm . In 2001 BlueZ was released as free software and was added to the Linux kernel on July 4th of the same year (kernel version 2.4.6). In 2005 the project won the TuxMobil GNU / Linux Award for its contribution to improving the networking of Linux-based mobile devices. In 2006 it supported all core protocols and layers of the standard. Version 3.0 broke the backward compatibility of the programming interface (API). Version 4.0 was released on August 6, 2008, with which the ( D-Bus ) API was cleaned up again with a compatibility breach and GModule support was completely switched to GLib by removing support for EGlib . With version 4 the code repositories from SourceForge moved to the Linux kernel website kernel.org and the repositories from bluez-libs and bluez-utils were merged.
