Windows 7 Bluetooth over UART

Santosh Jadhav · May 29, 2014

hi,
I am a hardware designer, building a intel Atom bay trail based platform.

The system is expected to run Win7 or Win8 as OS. I am using a bluetooth module from LS research (Part No. 450-0104). This device has a UART interface which supports HSI protocol.

Can win7 or Win8 detect this device with SPP, because i have seen usb based options?

When integrating a Bluetooth module like the LS Research module with a UART interface into a system running Windows 7 or Windows 8, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Driver Support: Windows 7 and Windows 8 may not have native drivers for all Bluetooth modules, especially custom or specialized ones like the LS Research Part No. 450-0104. It's essential to check if the manufacturer provides Windows drivers for this module. Without the appropriate driver support, Windows may not be able to detect and communicate with the module effectively.
Profile Support: The Serial Port Profile (SPP) is a Bluetooth profile that enables serial communication between devices. It allows devices to emulate a serial...

When integrating a Bluetooth module like the LS Research module with a UART interface into a system running Windows 7 or Windows 8, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Driver Support: Windows 7 and Windows 8 may not have native drivers for all Bluetooth modules, especially custom or specialized ones like the LS Research Part No. 450-0104. It's essential to check if the manufacturer provides Windows drivers for this module. Without the appropriate driver support, Windows may not be able to detect and communicate with the module effectively.
Profile Support: The Serial Port Profile (SPP) is a Bluetooth profile that enables serial communication between devices. It allows devices to emulate a serial connection over a Bluetooth wireless connection. Windows 7 and Windows 8 do support the SPP profile, so if the LS Research module is designed to work with SPP, Windows should be able to communicate with it over Bluetooth.
HSI Protocol: The HSI (High-Speed Inter-Chip) protocol is usually used for high-speed communication between components on a circuit board. If the LS Research module uses the HSI protocol over its UART interface, it's important to ensure that the Windows drivers or the module itself can handle this protocol correctly.
Testing and Configuration: After installing the necessary drivers for the Bluetooth module on Windows 7 or Windows 8, you may need to configure the module and the operating system to communicate over the UART interface correctly. This could involve setting up COM ports, baud rates, and other communication parameters. In summary, Windows 7 and Windows 8 should be able to detect and communicate with the LS Research Bluetooth module if:
- Proper drivers are available and installed for the module on Windows.
- The module supports the SPP profile for serial communication.
- The HSI protocol used by the module is compatible with Windows and the UART interface.
It's recommended to refer to the documentation provided by LS Research for the module, including any specific instructions for Windows compatibility, driver installation, and configuration with the HSI protocol. Additionally, testing the integration in a controlled environment will help ensure that the Bluetooth module functions correctly with Windows 7 or Windows 8.
