pw_bluetooth_sapphire#

Battle-tested Bluetooth with rock-solid reliability

Unstable C++17 Code Size Impact: 1.5 to 2 megabytes

Attention

This module is still under construction. There is no public API yet. Please contact the Pigweed team if you are interested in using this module.

The pw_bluetooth_sapphire module provides a dual-mode Bluetooth Host stack that will implement the pw_bluetooth APIs. Sapphire originated as the Fuchsia operating system’s Bluetooth stack and is used in production. The Sapphire Host stack has been migrated into the Pigweed project for use in embedded projects. However, as it was not written in an embedded context, there is a lot of work to be done to optimize memory usage.

Why use Sapphire?

  • Open source, unlike vendor Bluetooth stacks. This makes debugging and fixing issues much easier!

  • Integrated with Pigweed. Logs, asserts, randomness, time, async, strings, and more are all using Pigweed modules.

  • Excellent test coverage, unlike most Bluetooth stacks. This means fewer bugs and greater maintainability.

  • Certified. Sapphire was certified by the Bluetooth SIG after passing all conformance tests.

  • A great API. Coming 2024. See pw_bluetooth.

Roadmap#

  • Support Bazel
