A recent article from lwn.net shows ProFUSION in the most active employers for networking stuff in the 2.6.35 release cycle. That was due to the work we did in the Bluetooth stack implementing the L2CAP Extended Features (see older post in this blog to learn about L2CAP Extended Features). Nice!
After more than 4 months working daily at ERTM, here at ProFUSION, we have now a functional and much more stable implementation. Several potential crashes have been fixed, and missing features were added. Also the code was checked against the Profile Tuning Suite(PTS) test software. That software is the official test software from Bluetooth SIG [...]
Some days ago I requested a account to the kernel.org admins, today I finished to setup my kernel git tree there. If you were following my git tree at git.profusion.mobi please change your remote to the kernel.org one. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/padovan/bluetooth-testing.git You can also browse on the gitweb view here. =)
For the second year I got accepted on the Google Summer of Code project to work with the BlueZ organization. My project this year is to work on the DUN Client. DUN is the Dial-up Network Profile, it provides access to the Internet and other dial-up services via Bluetooth. My project intends to do the [...]
Here at ProFUSION I’m working to finish the L2CAP Extended Features introduced in the Core Specification Addendum 1 of the Bluetooth Specification. As you can see in older posts in this blog I have started that implementation by myself during the last year’s Google Summer of Code. The project was too big and I wasn’t [...]
In the last month I’ve been working on the Bluetooth Manager module for the Enlightenment Window Manager using the BlueZ infraestructure. The module is still pretty simple. The supported features now are Scan of Devices, Pairing and set/get of some adapter’s properties (Name, Powered, DiscoverableTimeout and Discoverable and Address). To Build the module I’ve created [...]
Last Wednesday (March 3rd) we did a talk about Google Summer of Code at Unicamp. The talk was part of the weekly talk about Free Software in the University. It was presented by mentors and students from past GSoCs. We explained how GSoC works and how one can take part on it this year. I’ll [...]
I’m proud to announce that BlueZ and oFono now support the Handsfree role of the Bluetooth Handsfree profile. This means that your Desktop now can now act like a headset bluetooth and handle calls from your cell phone. The work was done during the last 2 months here at ProFUSION. On the BlueZ side a [...]
After a while with a BlueZ 4.39 ebuid Gentoo has updated today to the version 4.60 (the lastest one). It took a lot of work from me and others gentoo guys, especially Pacho Ramos. Thanks to all. By adding this ebuild we were able to close other 4 bugs into the Gentoo bugzilla, but we [...]
Google Open Source team has just published yesterday a set of stats[1] about Google Summer of Code 2009 and Google Summer of Code during the years.
