MINISTAK AVAILABLE FOR LINUX



MiniStak has been integrated on Linux and embedded Linux. MiniStak only relies on the C standard library and Pthreads which makes it portable even across more platforms.
Cambridge, UK - 20 November 2012 – Blue Creation today introduced MiniStak for Linux platforms. MiniStak is the smallest, most portable dual mode Stack available in the market today.
MiniStak sets a new industry benchmark for the industry, and represents the latest example of the software that BlueCreation is pursuing to enable customers to develop wireless products in an easy, affordable and competitive fashion” said James Bernit, Hosted Product Manager at Blue Creation.

Easy to integrate
MiniStak has a simple API that allows any application developer to integrate code and use the stack regardless on the environment (Processor or OS used). This makes it much easier to integrate than using the standard implementation of BlueZ.  MiniStak is also delivered ported on the chosen platform with a sample application demonstrating pairing, connection and all needed functions for controlling the Bluetooth Stack. Support is also included to ensure that customers hit the ground running with an implementation that works.
Powerful Dual Mode
Ministak is a dual mode stack so it enables products to be backward compatible with Classic Bluetooth implementations but as well allow the connection to Bluetooth Low Energy using the same chip and software. Ministak also allows multiple connection using Classic and/or Lowe Energy Bluetooth. 
Smallest Footprint
Ministak Linux keeps with its predecessors running requiring less than 32kbytes of Flash and 4kBytes of RAM for a dual mode implementation (SPP for Classic Bluetooth). MiniStak is still the smallest certified Bluetooth protocol stack available today.
