6.1 Application Note: Subsystem Combinations

This application note covers the procedure for generating a new Declaration ID for a Subsystem combination

on the Bluetooth SIG website. In the instance of subsystems, a member can combine two or more subsystems

to create a complete Bluetooth End Product solution.

6.1.1 Laird Customer Declaration ID Procedure

This procedure assumes that the member is simply combining two subsystems to create a new design,

without any modification to the existing, qualified subsystems. This is achieved by using the Listing interface

on the Bluetooth SIG website. Figure 1 shows the basic subsystem combination of a controller and host

subsystem. The Controller provides the RF/BB/LM and HCI layers, with the Host providing L2CAP, SDP, GAP,

RFCOMM/SPP and any other specific protocols and profiles existing in the Host subsystem listing. The design

may also include a Profile Subsystem.

The Qualification Process requires each company to registered as a member of the Bluetooth SIG –

For each Bluetooth Design it is necessary to purchase a Declaration ID. This can be done before starting the

new qualification, either through invoicing or credit card payment. The fees for the Declaration ID will depend

on your membership status, please refer to the following webpage:
