Bluetooth overview

(Copied mostly from

http://urnenfeld.blogspot.de/2012/07/in-past-i-got-to-know-that-motivation.html

)

*L2cap under ``network/protocols/l2cap``**: Provides socket interface to have l2cap channels. L2CAP offers connection oriented and connectionless sockets. But bluetooth stack as this point has no interchangeability with TCP/IP, A Higher level Bluetooth profile must be implemented

*HCI under ``src/add-ons/kernel/bluetooth``**: Here we have 2 modules, one for handling global bluetooth data structures such as connection handles and L2cap channels, and frames

*H2generic under ``src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bluetooth``**: The USB driver, implementing the H2 transport.

*Bluetooth kit under ``src/kit/bluetooth``**: C++ implementation based on JSR82 api.

*Bluetooth Server under ``src/servers/bluetooth``**: Basically handling opened devices (local connected fisically in our system) and forwaring kit calls to them.

*Bluetooth Preferences under ``src/preferences/bluetooth``**: Configuration using the kit

*Test applications under ``src/tests/kits/bluetooth``**.

There is a small prototype component which is not here documented below src/add-ons/bluetooth/ResetLocalDevice. Its intention was to be an add-on of bluetooth preferences, So that new HCI commands could be customized by users or external developers. I did not like at the end the idea, I did not find the flexibility I wanted.
