Become a sponsor to BlueZ

BlueZ is an open-source project that provides a high-quality implementation of the Bluetooth Core Specification for the Linux operating system. It is the default Bluetooth stack for many popular Linux distributions, and has been a key player in the development and evolution of Bluetooth technology.

The main goal of the BlueZ project is to provide a robust and versatile Bluetooth stack that is fully compatible with the Bluetooth Core Specification. To achieve this, the project leverages the latest developments in Bluetooth technology, including the latest profiles, protocols, and features.

The BlueZ project is maintained by a dedicated group of developers, who work tirelessly to ensure that the stack is up-to-date and fully functional. They are supported by a vibrant and active community of users, who provide valuable feedback and bug reports that help to improve the stack.

As a sponsor of the BlueZ project, you will be helping to ensure that the Bluetooth stack remains a key player in the world of Bluetooth technology. Your support will help the developers to continue their work, and to ensure that the stack remains a robust and versatile tool for the Linux community.

Whether you're an individual user, a company, or an organization, your support is important to the success of the BlueZ project. So if you're interested in supporting the development of Bluetooth technology, and helping to ensure that the Linux operating system continues to be a key player in this field, then consider becoming a sponsor of the BlueZ project today.

Some of the key features of BlueZ include:

  • Complete modular implementation: BlueZ is designed as a set of separate modules that can be used independently or in combination, providing a high degree of flexibility and adaptability.
  • Symmetric multi-processing safe: The design of BlueZ ensures that it can be used in multi-processing environments, making it a good choice for complex Bluetooth applications.
  • Multithreaded data processing: BlueZ uses multiple threads to handle incoming data, ensuring high performance and responsiveness even in demanding situations.
  • Support for multiple Bluetooth devices: BlueZ can work with multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously, making it easy to support multiple devices in a single application.
  • Real hardware abstraction: BlueZ provides a hardware abstraction layer that allows it to work with a wide range of Bluetooth hardware, including UART, USB, PCI-e, and virtual devices.
  • Standard socket interface to all layers: BlueZ provides a standard socket interface to all layers, making it easy to integrate with existing applications and systems.
  • Device and service level security support: BlueZ provides robust security features, including device and service level security, to ensure that Bluetooth communications are protected from unauthorized access.

Goals

  • Improve stability and reliability: Continue working on CI/CD adding more tests to improve robustness of the stack
  • Enhance interoperability: Make the stack compatible with more Bluetooth devices and protocols
  • Increase Security: Make the stack more resistant to hacking as well as handle security vulnerabilities concerning the stack and the Bluetooth Technology
  • Support new platforms: Enable the stack to work in new platforms
  • Expand the developer community: Attract new contributors and expand the BlueZ developer community
