IAR Systems releases a new version of its Embedded Bluetooth protocol stack

IAR Systems today announced that a new version of its Bluetooth Protocol Stack has been released. The new v1.10 release includes support for additional Bluetooth profiles and provides product developers with a highly compact stack for embedded use.

The new version of the IAR Embedded Bluetooth Protocol stack has support added for the Generic Object Exchange Profile (GOEP/OBEX), File transfer profile (FTP) and LAN Access profile (LAP), thereby improving connectivity to remote devices using file transfer and network access facilities.

The Embedded Bluetooth protocol stack from IAR Systems is one of the most compact in the world, which reduces manufacturing cost in serial production, due to reduced consumption of CPU and ROM/RAM memory resources. Major industrial, telecom and consumer electronics companies in USA, Europe, Asia and Japan have already selected the Bluetooth protocol stack from IAR.

”The new Bluetooth protocol stack provides enhanced connectivity”, says Magnus Unemyr, Product Marketing Manager at IAR Systems in Sweden. “At the same time, our customers get a highly compact Bluetooth protocol stack which in turn reduces production cost for the complete Bluetooth product”.

IAR Systems is the only company in the world that can provide a complete set of development and test tools for Bluetooth products, including programming languages, debug tools, Bluetooth Starter Kits, Bluetooth protocol stacks as well as a test and pre-qualification tool that tests whether a Bluetooth product conforms to the Bluetooth specification.
