Embedded Bluetooth

PC104.ca News Feed:

This document is an introduction to the use of Bluetooth for embedded control applications.? Although there are many resources that discuss Bluetooth for wireless headphones, keyboards, mice, and similar uses, this document is confined to the advantages and potential pitfalls of using Bluetooth for embedded control.

?In general, Bluetooth can be very useful for certain embedded applications, but applications that require either very high data reliability or guaranteed data availability will have to be designed very carefully since these are both weaknesses in Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is a radio communication system that is intended to replace any cable in any short-range communication link.?? It easily meets this goal in non-demanding applications such as connecting a keyboard to a PC or headphones to a cell phone, but will have great difficulty replacing an EIA-485 link with more than eight nodes.? Several dozen potential applications have been identified by the Bluetooth SIG, and are supported with specific protocols.? One of the intended applications is the replacement of legacy EIA-232 links.? Bluetooth works well for EIA-232 applications that don?t push the envelope of the EIA-232 specification.

Bluetooth uses the ISM band starting at 2.4GHz.? Bluetooth divides this band into 79 sub-bands and hops among them as described below.

Bluetooth devices connect to each other in a network called a piconet.? A piconet may consist of from two to eight devices.? In a piconet, one device is always the master, and the remaining devices are all always slaves.? Master-slave roles are never exchanged because the message and channel timing are derived from the clock and Bluetooth address of the master.? A device may participate in more than one piconet at a time, and may be a master in one piconet and a slave in another piconet at the same time.? A device may not be the master in more than one piconet at the same time.

Since Bluetooth shares its bandwidth with many competing services, a piconet attempts to reduce interference by hopping from one frequency to another at frequent intervals.? Since there may be more than one Bluetooth piconet in an area at the same time, the hop pattern that a piconet uses is partially determined by the unique BT address of the master device. The Bluetooth devices themselves negotiate this frequency hopping; the user or designer does not have any role.

PC&#39;s Semiconductors Blog: 1 GHz <b>PC/104</b> SBC supports networking and <b>...</b>

Embedded Systems Conference Boston 2010, BOSTON, USA: A PC/104-compatible 1GHz single board computer (SBC) dubbed the PCM-VDX-2-512 was introduced today by WinSystems.

Designed for headless space- and power-limited systems in medical, communications, security, transportation, utilities, Mil/COTS, and industrial test/measurement applications, it has two Ethernet, four USB 2.0, and four asynchronous serial channels plus connectors for both PC/104 and Mini PCI I/O cards. It measures 90mm x 96mm (3.6” x 3.8”), draws 5.5W, and will operate from -40°C to +85°C without a fan.

The PCM-VDX-2-512 is based on DM&P’s Vortex86DX processor and is populated with 512MB of soldered-on DDR2 SRAM plus 1MB SRAM. Its x86 architecture runs Linux, DOS, and other x86 operating systems. This SBC is supplied with downloadable drivers which are available from WinSystems’ website.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) suppressors rated to ±15kV are included on the USB, Ethernet, and serial data ports for additional protection and will withstand multiple ESD strikes. Additionally, the USB ports have in-rush and over-current protection. All four independent, full-duplex serial channels support RS-232/422/485 levels and operate at data rates up to 115.2 Kbps.

The PCM-VDX-2-512’s PATA controller supports a CompactFlash card and an IDE drive. Other onboard peripherals include 16-lines of digital I/O, PS/2 keyboard and mouse controllers, LPT interface, real time clock, watchdog timer, activity LEDs, and a piezo speaker for BIOS status beep codes. Mini PCI and PC/104 connectors support expansion I/O cards for wireless networks, video, etc. With this diverse range of functions, many applications will not require any additional I/O cards.

WinSystems can customize this SBC for OEM applications either by depopulating certain features or by adding soldered-on flash memory, a CF card retention clip, and/or a Mini PCI video card. The processor speed and amount of SDRAM can be reduced to lower the price and power consumption as well.

The PCM-VDX-2G-512 in OEM quantities is $342. Delivery is from stock to three weeks. WinSystems’ offers a 30-day product evaluation program.

<b>PC/104</b> analog I/O cards - ANSYS - Dataweek

Two new PC/104-compatible analog I/O cards have been developed by WinSystems. The PCM-MIO-G-AD-1 is a 16-channel, 16-bit analog input card and the PCM-MIO-G-DA-1 is an 8-channel, 12-bit analog output card. Both cards also support 48 lines of digital I/O.These small (90 x 96 mm) expansion boards are designed to meet customer requirements for accurate analog and digital I/O over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. They are designed for industrial, medical, security, transportation and Mil/COTS applications.

Based upon Linear Technologies’ precision converters and voltage references, these cards do not require calibration, which results in quick, easy setup, as well as eliminating the necessity for readjustment and recalibration to installed units in the field.The input ranges for the PCM-MIO-G-AD-1 are 0–5 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V and ±10 V. Two independent, 16-bit A/D converters support up to 16 single-ended or eight differential channels or various combinations of both. The conversion speed is 100 KSps.

The PCM-MIO-G-DA-1 has eight independent, 12-bit D/A converters on board. The output voltage ranges are 0-5 V, 0-10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. All output channels are programmable and can be updated and cleared individually or simultaneously.Both boards have 48 lines of digital I/O individually programmable for input, output or output with read-back. The lines are TTL compatible and can sink 12 mA which supports direct connection to optically isolated AC and DC signal conditioners. Both cards are supplied with free drivers for C, Linux and Windows XP Embedded.

Embedded Bluetooth for $2 » Micah&apos;s Bloggy Widget

PC104.ca News Feed:

This is a continuation of my experiments in bit-banging full-speed USB on the Propeller. I have the basic host controller working reasonably well now, so I started trying to do something a bit more “useful” with it by implementing a simple Bluetooth stack on top of it.

Bluetooth and USB are both quite complicated, and this project is implementing only tiny fractions of each specification. But I think it’s enough to show that the functionality you actually need in a simple embedded application isn’t that complex- and a lot of the cheap consumer electronics you can get nowadays might actually be more hobbyist-accessable than they appear.

Hanno on the forums found some great $2 Bluetooth dongles on DealExtreme. So I just had to order a few of these and try them out with my work-in-progress software stack. The result:

That’s a Propeller demo board, the $2 dongle (stripped down and attached to a 4-pin header, for convenience) and no other components. The demo here is just scanning for nearby devices, but I also have some basic L2CAP support and I’m working on the SDP server. Currently the stack uses 4 cogs (3 for USB, 1 for Bluetooth) and 12 kB of RAM, but I’m hoping to optimize it.

(Of course, this is only possible because the Bluetooth dongle itself has significantly more RAM and ROM than the Propeller has. Oh, the economies of scale!)

The software is very much a work-in-progress, but you can find it in the Subversion repository, with an MIT-style license.
