KDE Bluetooth Framework is a set of tools built on top of Linux Bluetooth stack BlueZ.
Our goal is to provide easy access to the most common Bluetooth profiles and to make data exchange with Bluetooth enabled phones and PDAs as straightforward as possible.
Enhancements:
- Exporting public includes to make other applications use of kdebluetooth.
- Fixed some bugs on kioslaves.
- Fixed kbluepin.
- Allow compiling with lastest openobex and bluez packages.
- Fixed compilation with gcc >= 4.1.
- Fixed configure script, warning user about missing headers.

ObexPushD is a software used to receive files via Bluetooth, IrDA and TCP. This program should work with many mobile devices like PDAs and mobile phones.

Affix is the Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux.
This package contains user level part of the Affix stack and includes:
- Affix core libraries and tools. libaffix.so, libaffix_utils.so, btctl, btsrv
- Service Discovery client/server libraries and daemon. libaffix_sdp.so, libaffix_sdpsvc.so, btsdp.
- OBEX client/server libraries and daemon. libaffix_obex.so, btobex
This Affix package supports the following profiles:
- General Access Profie
- Service Discovery Profile
- Serial Port Profile
- DialUp Networking Profile
- LAN Access Profile
- OBEX Object Push Profile
- OBEX File Transfer Profile
- PAN Profile
Main features:
- Affix support Bluetooth specification 1.1 and 1.2.
- Modular implementation.
- Socket interface to L2CAP 1.1, L2CAP 1.2 and RFCOMM protocols.
- Bluetooth module interface independence.
- SMP safe.
- Multiple Bluetooth devices support.
- Unified interface for all transport drivers. It makes it hardware independently.
affix-kernel provides kernel modules, which implements protocols core protocols and Bluetooth device drivers. Kernel modules can be used separately from the kernel or can be linked statically into the kernel.
affix provides control tools, libraries, and server daemons.
Additionally there are the following packages:
- pyaffix: Support for Python programming language.
- Ethereal plugin for helping debuging.
We successfully tested Affix for interoperability against a large amount of devices, e.g.:
- Nokia Bluetooth Phone 6210 with Bluetooth battery pack,
- Digianswer stack for Windows
- Compaq iPaq
- Bluetooth stack for Palm OS.
- Ericsson phones (T68).

Pluto Bi-Directional Comm library automates bi-directional communication over bluetooth or sockets. Very object oriented and easy to use. Allows 2 devices to send each other commands.

The framework handles all the handshaking & protocols, and provides a template for commands.

How does it work?

This library allows 2 devices to communicate with each other over sockets or a Bluetooth connection. BD handles the handshaking, communication protocol, and provides a very simple way to send and implement commands.

Both sides are truly peers, and either side send the other a command by creating an instance of the command. Each side creates an instance of BDCommandProcessor, and then either side can create an instance of a command, add it to BDCommandProcessor, and the other side will implement the command. Each command is really just a simple class derived from BDCommand.

You only add whatever member variables your command, and implement a pure virtual "ProcessAction" member function. When one side wants to send that command to the other, it just creates an instance of it, sets member variables, and passes it to the "SendCommand" function in BDCommandProcessor.

The framework will automatically serialize the member variables in the class, and send the data to the other side. On the other side, the framework will recreate the class with the member variables set, and call the "ProcessAction" function which you implement to do whatever the command is supposed to do.

Your software doesnt need to worry about any of the data serialization, or the handshaking, or the sending of the commands. The framework handles all that--you just implement the "ProcessAction" function.

btfilter is used to send documents to Bluetooth enabled printers or print adapters for printing.

btfilter reads the document from standard input and sends the file to the supplied bluetooth device address. The file must be prepared beforehand - btfilter passes the file transparently to the device.

btfilter can be used indirectly in /etc/printcap - for an example, see my document Bluetooth Printing to HP DeskJet 3845.

Syntax

btfilter [OPTIONS] mac-address [channel]

Options:

-i | < bdaddr >: send file using this device.

Channel defaults to 1 if not given.

T-BEAR is the Transient Bluetooth Environment security AuditoR. It includes an ncurses-based BT scanner, a Bluetooth DoS proof-of-concept, and a "hidden" BDADDR hunter similar to Redfang 2.5.
Other tools based on gnuradio are being developed, including a BT "sniffer".
Enhancements:
- Minor feature enhancements

RemoteJ is an application for adding Bluetooth remote control capability to Sony Ericssons mobile phones such as the K750, W800, Z520, W600, W550, and W900 series.
RemoteJ project offers an extendable, configurable interface system that uses XML configuration files.
It can be used to control your music player, video player, or PC-TV using a menu appearing in your mobile phones menu.
