A Bluetooth stack is software that refers to an implementation of the Bluetooth protocol stack.
Bluetooth stacks can be roughly divided into two:
- General-purpose implementations that are written with emphasis on feature-richness and flexibility, usually for desktop computers. Support for additional Bluetooth profiles can typically be added through drivers.
- Embedded system implementations intended for use in devices where resources are limited and demands are lower, such as Bluetooth peripheral devices.
Famous quotes containing the word stack:
“What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff and the wheat, weeds and plants, blight, rain, insects, sun—it is a sacred emblem from the first furrow of spring to the last stack which the snow of winter overtakes in the fields.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
