TI-BT-STACK-LINUX-ADDON

This package contains the install package, pre-compiled object and source of the TI Bluetooth Stack and Platform Manager to easily upgrade the default LINUX EZSDK Binary on a AM437x EVM, AM335x EVM or BeagleBone. The software was built with Linaro GCC 4.7 and can be added to Linux SDKs that use similar toolchain on other platforms.

The Bluetooth stack is fully qualified (QDID 69886 and QDID 69887), provides simple command line sample applications to speed development, and upon request has MFI capability.

For Licensing Information, Release Notes and Profiles supported, please download the package. For additional information on TI Bluetooth Stack and Platform Manager, please refer to TI Bluetooth Stack User’s Guide (see in the Technical Documents Below).
