[Bluez-devel] arm boards for embedding bluez

[Brad Midgley]

Hey

Does anyone have a feel for what is available now for doing embedded 
bluez stuff with arm? I would like to put together something with a 
class 1 adapter... it seems like there was talk of a board for embedding 
that had class 1 built in but I can't find it in the archives and 
googling reveals a bunch of designs that have probably been abandoned.

I am hoping that by doing linux on arm, it would be 
cheaper/smaller/cooler than the $200+ each that a small x86 barebones 
board costs, eg: 
http://www.kontron.com/products/pdproductdetail.cfm?keyProduct=32658&kps=1689&kpc=237&keySiteRegion=1

but 300Mhz/IDE/VGA is overkill for this... I just want something that 
could stream a2dp & do voip to a headset and act as an access point for 
a bluetooth pda.

Brad

Hi Brad,

how about this:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/BuildABlueSlug

Haven't tried it myself (yet), but looking forward to the nearing Beta 
release of OpenSlug to build a cheap and low-power bluetooth access 
point/NAS.

Regards.
Matthias

Bluez over ARM 1510 platform.  if you need more details feel free to
contact me directelly.

Matthias,

Yes, this looks very interesting. Maybe hackable consumer devices are 
the way to go instead of eval boards for small projects.

For asterisk+btsco, it even sounds like someone has gotten asterisk to 
run on a box with similar specs (wrt54gs) but I wish there was a little 
more wiggle room than just 32MB ram.

I had no luck trying to find anything suitable with included line-in to 
do live a2dp streaming. A usb audio dongle could work with the slug I 
guess :(
