Hunyue Yau

Hunyue Yau is an electrical engineer who graduated from the California Institute of Technology. He has worked with Linux since the early '90s, starting with the Soft Landing System. He created one of the first embedded Linux devices in 1996 with a custom-made distribution. He has worked on various products such as embedded Linux appliances, embedded BSD-based devices, and embedded Linux mobile devices. As an active member of the BeagleBoard community, he has volunteered at numerous community events, from Maker Faire to Google Summer of Code mentoring. Today, Hunyue synergizes his electrical engineering skills with embedded Linux software skills to provide turnkey embedded Linux consulting services through HY Research LLC (http://www.hy-research.com/), a company founded by him.

Profiles

The Bluetooth functionality is described in terms of profiles defined by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). There are two main profiles of interest to us and one profile is worth mentioning. There are two different profiles that offer network connectivity, namely, Personal Area Networking (PAN) and Dial-up Networking (DUN). They both offer TCP/IP connectivity but in a different manner. It is important to repeat that network connectivity is offered by either of these options; this does not necessarily imply Internet connectivity.

Some mobile devices support the DUN or PAN profiles as a means of obtaining Internet connectivity and not exporting it. Despite this, it can still be used to provide connectivity between the device and the BeagleBone.

While we won't discuss it, it is worth mentioning Serial Port Profile (SPP). SPP emulates a serial port over Bluetooth at both the BeagleBone end and the mobile device end. If TCP/IP connectivity is not needed, SPP can provide a simple...
