1# Welcome to BTstack 2 3BTstack is [BlueKitchen's](http://bluekitchen-gmbh.com) implementation of the official Bluetooth stack. 4It is well suited for small, resource-constraint devices 5such as 8 or 16 bit embedded systems as it is highly configurable and comes with an ultra small memory footprint. 6A minimal configuration for an SPP server on a MSP430 can run in 32 kB FLASH and only 4 kB of RAM. 7 8Targeting a variety of platforms is as simple as providing the necessary UART, CPU, and CLOCK implementations. BTstack is currently capable of connecting to Bluetooth-modules via: (H2) HCI USB, (H4) HCI UART + TI's eHCILL, and (H5) HCI Three-Wire UART. 9 10On smaller embedded systems, a minimal run loop implementation allows to use BTstack without a Real Time OS (RTOS). 11If a RTOS is already provided, BTstack can be integrated and run as a single thread. 12 13On larger systems, BTstack provides a daemon that connects to a Bluetooth module. 14Multiple applications can communicate with this daemon over different inter-process communication methods. 15 16BTstack supports the Central and the Peripheral Role of Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy specification incl. LE Secure Connections, LE Data Channels, and LE Data Lenght Extension. It can be configured to run as either single-mode stack or a dual-mode stack. 17 18BTstack is free for non-commercial use. However, for commercial use, <a href="mailto:[email protected]">tell us</a> a bit about your project to get a quote. 19 20**Documentation:** [HTML](http://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/btstack/develop/), [PDF](http://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/btstack_develop.pdf) 21 22**Discussion and Community Support:** [BTstack Google Group](http://groups.google.com/group/btstack-dev) 23 24### Supported Protocols and Profiles 25 26**Protocols:** L2CAP (incl. LE Data Channels), RFCOMM, SDP, BNEP, AVDTP, AVCTP, ATT, SM (incl. LE Secure Connections). 27 28**Profiles:** GAP, IOP, HFP, HSP, SPP, PAN, A2DP, AVRCP, GATT. 29 30**Beta Stage:** HID, HOGP. 31 32**In Development:** BLE Mesh, AVRCP Browsing and more. 33 34It has been qualified with the Bluetooth SIG (QDID 110883) for GAP, IOP, HFP, HSP, SPP, PAN, A2DP, AVRCP profiles and 35GATT, SM of the Bluetooth 5 specification.
