Bluetooth Implementation Considerations

The following considerations should be taken into account when implementing this technology:

  • Only one Bluetooth controller is supported.
  • L2CAP links over unreliable channels are not supported.
  • Flush Time-out is not supported by L2CAP. Upper layers are supposed to fail the connection when Flush Time-out is not set to the default value or negotiated down to the default value.
  • L2CAP does not support dynamic reconfiguration, which allows the system to enter CONFIG mode when a connection has already been opened.

The following table shows the Sysgen variables that control the listed Bluetooth features.

Sysgen variable Feature
SYSGEN_BTH_GATEWAY When this variable is set, the Bluetooth Gateway Configuration Utility feature is included in the OS image. This feature is an application that provides a sample configuration of Bluetooth as a LAN Access Point (Gateway). It is available only in headless devices.
SYSGEN_BTH_MODEM When this variable is set, the Bluetooth Modem Gateway Support feature is included in the OS image. A Microsoft® Windows® CE–based device can use this feature to look like a dial up modem to other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
SYSGEN_BTH_CSR_ONLY When this variable is set, the Built-in CSR Chipset Support feature is included in the OS image. This feature excludes all chipset support except for CSR in the image.
