Enhance Bluetooth Development Efficiency and Product Quality with DTBT Stack<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Product Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Developed over the past 15 years, DTBT is a Bluetooth stack and testing framework that accelerates development and improves the quality and interoperability of your Bluetooth products.

DTBT simplifies test of complex network topologies, enables simulation of diverse peer device implementations, and enables automation of repetitive test sequences like connection, data\/audio transfer, and security testing.

Supporting a wide range of platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS, laptops, Raspberry Pi, embedded targets) and Bluetooth radios, DTBT delivers a cost-effective solution with low investment per test node.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DTBT exposes API\u2019s from application\/profile level to HCI, enabling the test author to use high-level API\u2019s to quickly establish wanted test scenarios, while using stack lower level API\u2019s to customize parameters, or to simulate specific behavior by injecting packets at specific states of the communication. This flexibility both caters for fast creation of standard use cases, while supporting creation of highly customized test scenarios when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges in Bluetooth Development and Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While Bluetooth Basic Rate\/Enhanced Data Rate (BR\/EDR) is a mature technology, the integration of Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and Bluetooth LE Audio has significantly increased complexity, particularly for devices supporting both BR\/EDR and Bluetooth LE concurrently.
This increased complexity leads to several challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Time-consuming manual testing processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Difficulty in automating intricate Bluetooth scenarios.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ineffective use of general Bluetooth stacks for testing, which lack fine-grained parameter control and the ability to inject data for simulating error scenarios or peer device behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Inconsistent and unreliable test results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Requirement for specialized hardware and complex test setups<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Difficulties in performing regression testing after code modifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Poor interoperability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Our Solution DTBT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


    DTBT comes with a Python interface suited for easy test script creation and integration into automation systems. For efficiency DTBT is written natively in C with a low memory footprint, zero copy architecture and single threaded.

    DTBT supports a wide range of BT radios at HCI level, enabling support for using laptop built in radios, or external USB connected radios.

    DTBT supports multiple BT radios concurrently, enabling establishment and control of scenarios with multiple connections, also in mixed BR\/EDR LE scenarios.

    DTBT supports Linux, Mac and Windows and popular HW platforms are laptops during development, and Raspberry PI for dedicated test systems.
