[HH] Bluetooth for embedded devices

[Kurt Keville]

If you can find any links on this I would be interested... I have 
used various OBEX object tools like ussp-push to determine location 
(indoor) with BT but most of those solutions are very noisy so you 
have to overprovision your solution substantially... and of course, 
it is driver dependent, so you have to calibrate for your particular chipset...

Lots of good boilerplate code in Larry Rudolph's book if you have a 
free couple dozen hours a week to dive in...

CSR, who make most of the chipsets for cellphones in the world is 
doubling down on BT... couple good articles on their future offerings at
