Article on history of the BCSP driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

long, long time ago, I used to contribute to BlueZ: sent a few patches to the libraries, wrote a few man pages (e.g. hciconfig and hcitool), and wrote a kernel driver for the BCSP protocol used by CSR devices. In occasion of the 20th anniversary of the latter being merged into the kernel, I wrote an article about the driver and the context in which it was born (including the lab being shut down and its employees being laid off shortly after).

Writing it involved digging into the history of mailing lists and Web pages. The fact that the archives of the old bluez-users mailing list seem to be nowhere did not help.

Best regards,
Fabrizio
