* Removed TinyB API artifacts, fix copyright notice. Add README.md 'Direct-BT ↵Sven Gothel2021-10-101-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Origins' Removed remaining TinyB API artifacts: - BTType.java and related search functions (class_type()) - Java's clone() - BTManager's device/gatt functionality, only covers adapter. +++ Direct-BT originated from TinyB. Major TinyB autors were: - Andrei Vasiliu <[email protected]> - Petre Eftime <[email protected]> TinyB Copyright (c) 2016 Intel Corporation. With the removal of TinyB from Direct-BT we removed all substantial parts (if not all, i.e. > 99.9%) of its copyright holder. This change removes remaining source file Intel (c) notices. This change does not disregard the author's original work, on the contrary, we keep attribution about Direct-BT's history in the README.md file 'Direct-BT Origins' section. The Intel (c) notice and TinyB authors stay in the COPYING file. We are grateful for their excellent work. This change is to clarify authorship and copyright of Direct-BT's work, as well as to not mislead association with the work of TinyB.
* Direct-BT: Remove TinyB and Cleanup Java API (1)Sven Gothel2021-08-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with version 2.3, the previously refactored *TinyB* has been removed completely. Motivation was lack of detailed Bluetooth support, inclusive increasing diversion with *Direct-BT*. Furthermore, work is underway for `BLE slave periphal and GATT server` support and its mapping to *BlueZ D-Bus* is questionable and would be resource intensive. Java API changed as follows: - Objects no more Clonable - Removed dead unsupported code - Removed deprecated code - Added 'GattCharPropertySet', representing property bit mask for BTGattChar, replacing the string array.

* Implement direct_bt: Direct Bluetooth access via Linux's Kernel BlueZ ↵Sven Gothel2020-04-091-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | protocol stack w/o D-Bus bluetoothd. By dropping BlueZ userspace D-Bus bluetoothd, we target high-performance reliable bluetooth support with least dependencies for embedded device configurations. See COPYING, describing which Linux Kernel BlueZ IOCTL information has been included in the source tree. We claim Linus Torvalds's Linux Kernel license exception regarding kernel syscalls (ioctl): <https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note> and hence maintain this project's license. The new direct_bt feature set is organized as follows - include/cppunit - api/direct_bt - api/ieee11073 - src/direct_bt - examples/direct_bt Note that the C++ direct_bt layer is not backward compatible to tinyb. Since the Java layer still needs to be completed, it has to be seen whether we will achieve compatibility or drop the original D-Bus tinyb module altogether in favor of a more streamlined API and implementation. Current state allows scanning for LE devices, connecting and parsing GATT plus receiving notifications and indications. See examples/direct_bt_scanner/dbt_scanner.cpp. The Linux Kernel BlueZ is configured via module MgmtComm.[hpp/cpp]
