Blooth Driver
Includes software and documentation for Bluetooth development on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Vista with Bluetooth radios from Broadcom.
The Bluetooth driver stack comprises the core portion of the support provided by Microsoft for the
Bluetooth protocol. With this stack, Bluetooth-enabled devices can locate each other and establish
connections. Across such connections, the devices can exchange data and interact with one another through
various applications.
The following image shows the modules within the Bluetooth driver stack, along with possible custom
user-mode and kernel-mode drivers not included in Windows Vista and later. These custom drivers are known
as profile drivers.
User-mode
User-mode application- A user-mode application that accesses the Bluetooth driver stack through
published APIs. For more information, see
About Bluetooth in the Windows SDK
documentation.
Note User-mode applications should link against
BthProps.lib, instead of
IrProps.lib, in order to use APIs, such as
BluetoothSetLocalServiceInfo.
Examples of profile drivers
WAP Kernel Mode Driver- The Wireless Application Protocol WAP component is an example of a
profile driver that communicates between the Windows networking stack and BthPort, accessing the L2CAP
interface and, optionally, the SDP interface contained in L2CAP. Other possible profiles include the
Advanced Audio Distribution profile A2DP, A/V Remote Control profile AVRCP, Generic A/V
Distribution profile GAVDP, and Common ISDN Access CIP profile.
Audio Kernel Mode Driver- An example of a profile driver that communicates between the Windows
audio stack and BthPort, accessing the SCO interfaces contained in the latter. Possible profiles
include the Hands Free profile HFP, Headset profile HSP, Cordless Telephony profile CTP, and
Intercom profile ICP.
Note This profile driver is included with Windows beginning with Windows 8.
Bluetooth LE Heart Rate Monitor Profile- An example of a Bluetooth LE profile driver that communicates with the Bluetooth Low Energy LE API.
Bluetooth driver stack components
IrProps- A component that is used for backward compatibility for profile drivers that are
created for the first version of the Bluetooth driver stack.
Note IrProps is provided only for backward compatibility. Use the
BthProps component for new development.
BthProps- A component that contains the implementation of the Bluetooth user interface along
with implementation of the Bluetooth APIs that user-mode applications access. This component sends
inquiries to BthServ through remote procedure calls RPC. Additionally, BthProps performs pin
exchanges with BthPort through private IOCTLs. Note that BthProps runs on any system with a
Bluetooth-enabled radio.
BthServ- A service that is responsible for caching and forwarding inquiry data to
Bthport.
BthCi- The Bluetooth class installer.
WshBth- The Bluetooth Windows socket helper component. WshBth is called by the Windows sockets
layer to perform socket operations. WshBth primarily calls into RfComm through the TDI interface.
WshBth also calls into BthServ to perform remote device inquiries and into BthPort to perform local
radio inquiries.
FSquirt- A nonextensible Object Exchange OBEX component that allows users to send and receive
files across an open Bluetooth connection. OBEX communicates with remote devices through RFCOMM that
uses the WshBth component.
BthPrint- A component that implements the Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile HCRP. This
component allows the print system to send data to and receive data from Bluetooth-enabled printers.
BthPrint communicates with the SDP interface in BthPort to query remote printers and the L2CAP
interface in BthPort to send and receive data.
HidBth- The component that implements the Human Interface Device HID profile. HidBth also
communicates with the L2CAP and SDP interfaces in BthPort. HidBth connects to the HID stack much like
USB HID module does.
BthPan- The component that implements the Personal Area Network PAN profile, providing TCP
connections across an open Bluetooth connection. In Windows Vista and Windows XP, BthPan only supports
outgoing connections. BthPan is also a client of the BthPort component and uses both the L2CAP and SDP
interfaces.
RfComm- The component that implements the Bluetooth serial cable emulation protocol. RfComm
also uses the L2CAP and SDP interfaces found in BthPort. The upper edge of RfComm exposes the TDI
interface, allowing this component to appear to be a networking transport. This is how WshBth connects
to Bluetooth to send and receive data from user-mode APIs.
User-mode applications can access RfComm using the Winsock interfaces described in the Windows
SDK.
BthModem- The component that implements virtual COM ports and dial-up networking DUN.
BthModem directs all I/O and control operations to RfComm through a TDI interface. The upper edge of
BthModem communicates with
Serial.sys to give the appearance of being a wireless COM port.
Note This component is not available in Windows RT.
BthEnum- The Bluetooth bus driver. BthEnum communicates with the Plug and Play PnP manager to
create and destroy device objects used to enable Bluetooth services. BthEnum creates a PDO for every service that a connected remote device supports. For example, when a user connects a
Bluetooth-enabled mouse, Windows will discover that the mouse supports the Bluetooth HID service and creates a PDO for the HID service that causes the PnP manager to load
HidBth.
Note BthEnum will not create PDOs for services that appear in the
UnsupportedServices registry key as specified in
Bth.inf.
BthLEEnum- The Bluetooth Low Energy LE bus driver. BthLEEnum implements the ATT protocol and the GATT profile. It is also responsible for creating PDOs to represent the remote devices and their primary services.
BthPort- A minidriver loaded by the BthUsb miniport. BthPort provides four components:
The HCI component communicates to the local Bluetooth-enabled radio through the Host Controller
Interface HCI defined in the Bluetooth specification. Because all Bluetooth-enabled radios
implement the HCI specification, BthPort is able to communicate with any Bluetooth-enabled radio,
regardless of the manufacturer or model.
The SCO component implements the Synchronous Connection-Oriented SCO protocol. This protocol
supports creating point-to-point connections to a remote device. SCO clients communicate with the SCO
interface by
building and sending Bluetooth
request blocks BRBs.
L2CAP implements the Bluetooth logical link control and adaptation protocol. This protocol
supports creating a lossless channel to a remote device. L2CAP clients communicate with the L2CAP
interface by building and sending Bluetooth request blocks BRBs.
SDP implements the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol.
BthUsb.sys- The miniport that abstracts the bus interface from
BthPort.
