[Bluez-users] Understanding BlueZ source code

[Bluez-users] Understanding BlueZ source code

[Filipa Duarte]

Hi everyone,

I need to analyze the Bluetooth code so I could
identify the most computer intensive functions. As
BlueZ is a well tested stack I decided to profile it.
 
For that, I need the .c files and not only the .o
files, so I cannot use the patches to include BlueZ in
the kernel. I decided to use the old bluez-kernel-2.3
package. I know that it is not the latest version, but
I think it is the only way for me to access the .c
files, am I right?

Another question is that I only need the bluetooth
stack and the drivers. That is included on the 
bluez-kernel package or I also have to use
bluez-utils and bluez-lib? 

And finally, if someone could give a link to the
description of the code so I could understand the
BlueZ stack, that would be great! The best I could
find was Linux Unwired, but they describe more how to
install and work with BlueZ, not really how BlueZ is
done.

Many thanks. Cheers,

Filipa Duarte

you are kidding me, right?

You need the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, the HCI drivers,
the Bluetooth library and the tools. However it actually depends on what
part you wanna profile. Bluetooth is not a small piece of software.

Use the source, Luke ;)
