Return-Path: Reply-To: From: "Halam Rose" To: "BlueZ Mailing List" Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [Bluez-devel] Bluetooth Qualification - plan to make a plan Sender: bluez-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 17:24:01 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=iso-8859-1 Hello, Before confirming the resources to qualify BlueZ I need to work out what will be involved. I will get to know BlueZ a bit and work out what we might be able to qualify and what will be needed to do so. Then I can appeal for help! I will also produce a Qualification FAQ which summarises the various discussions I have in both Bluetooth and BlueZ circles. There is a general question I can usefully answer about Qualifying Bluetooth products now: The Qualified Product Listing can change, this means that unless the whole thing is rewritten I cant imagine BlueZ needing to be requalified completely (and expensively with a new listing fee). We can start with a basic listing because new profiles can be added and other changes can be made for whatever reason, they just need appropriate evidence to be approved by the BQB. The Qualified Product listing for Widcoms stack for instance covers all versions of Windows and has a great long revision history. You can view it at http://qualweb.opengroup.org/Template2.cfm?LinkQualified=QualifiedProducts&D etails=Yes&ProductID=250. I will have to discuss with the BQB what limits of platform may be appropriate if the same source code is used. My BQB has little knowledge of Linux so my advice will be a great help to him, but I need to know from you how different kernels and processors and even compilers affect BlueZ. Also I need your questions and pointers to any problems you can see arising, such as non-conformances with the BT specification. Could someone tell me the best way of posting the Qualification FAQ? BlueZ seems to be the sole copyright of Qualcomm - is this correct? Would it be appropriate to make the listing in the name of Qualcomm with Max as the contact, or is there now some other kind of BlueZ organisation? Best Wishes.
