Venkatraman L commented on EDGENT-71:
-------------------------------------
Yes. They all use Bluez Bluetooth stack for Linux and hcitool.
Node-red for Sensor Tag is also implemented in a similar way:
https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/tree/master/hardware/sensorTag
I've seen the way Python lib for SensorTag is implemented.
First a layer of BLE is implemented that exposes api's to interact with GATT
using hcitool https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/btle.py
Then, classes for sensor specific implementations (SensorTag in this case is
implemented:
https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/sensortag.py)
Thanks,
Venkat

> I did a bit of investigation of the use of Bluecove
> (http://www.bluecove.org/) as suggested in that original issue:
> - BlueCove implements JSR-82 "javax.bluetooth" but development seems to have
> stopped in 2008
> - "doesn't implement BLE" [1]
> - challenges making it work on a Raspberry Pi [4], making it work on a Pi [5]
> - some of it is GPL (unacceptible) but some (the part of interest?) is AL-2.0
> Intel TinyB [2] - what platforms? "everything worked" [1]
> Android BLE API [3]
> Looks like Java ME SDK 3.0 include Bluetooth from in the "Wireless Toolkit"
> [6]
> (present in "SE embedded" or "ME embedded" ?)
> For some applications there was a suggestion to just the standard linux
> Bluetooth stack "BlueZ" utils
> e.g., "sudo hcitool lescan" and process the command output.
> I've also seen an approach using python to access the bluez stack APIs to
> perform a "device scan" and emit the
> desired info to stdout.
> Edgent's Command connector (CommandStreams) provides a convenient way to
> integrate with external commands should use of external commands be an
> acceptable solution.
