Bluetooth development kit from Mindtree for automotive market
Mindtree Ltd, has released a Software Development Kit (SDK)
for developing Bluetooth based automotive infotainment and
personal navigation devices. With plenty of bluetooth stack
vendors in the market, more than the availability of stack
and profiles, the automotive embedded developers are facing
the issues of selecting the stack with low memory footprint,
complete set of bluetooth profiles, and power efficient
robust-code. More importantly, the interoperability is also
a big issue.
It looks like the Mindtree has addressed most of these
issues and provided a platform through this SDK to develop
bluetooth interfaces quickly in their designs.
Few key features of this development kit named EtherMind
are,
1. Applications can connect to services of the
SDK through high-level Application Programming Interfaces
(APIs).
2. SDK provides options to design customized
applications.
3. Provide plug-in interfaces between the application
components (such as Media Players) and HMI elements such
as Voice Recognition (VR) or Text to Speech (TTS) and the
Bluetooth SDK.
4. Supports QNX, Windows CE, ITRON, Linux Embedded-RTOSs.
5. The profiles such as PBAP, OPP, FTP, A2DP,
AVRCP, HFP, and SAP to support latest advanced mobile phones
features.
Mindtree also offers IP design services along with its
good stack of IPs.
