Welcome to BTstack

BTstack is BlueKitchen's implementation of the official Bluetooth stack. It is well suited for small, resource-constraint devices such as 8 or 16 bit embedded systems as it is highly configurable and comes with an ultra small memory footprint. A minimal configuration for an SPP server on a MSP430 can run in 32 kB FLASH and only 4 kB of RAM.

It connects to the Bluetooth modules via a different Bluetooth HCI transport layers (e.g., HCI H4 UART and H5 the "Tree-Wire" protocol, HCI H2 USB). Various platforms can be easily targeted by providing the necessary UART, CPU, and CLOCK implementations.

On smaller embedded systems, a minimal run loop implementation allows to use BTstack without a Real Time OS (RTOS). If a RTOS is already provided, BTstack can be integrated and run as a single thread.

On larger systems, BTstack provides a daemon that connects to a Bluetooth module. Multiple applications can communicate with this daemon over different inter-process communication methods.

BTstack supports both, the Central and the Peripheral Role of Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy specification. It can be configures as both a single mode or a dual mode stack.

BTstack is free for non-commercial use. For commercial use, tell us a bit about your project to get a quote. It has been qualified with the the Bluetooth SIG for GAP, IOP, HFP, HSP, SPP, PAN profiles and GATT, SM of the Bluetooth 4.2 LE Central and Peripheral roles (QD ID 25340).
