Mozlando Servo Bluetooth

WebBluetooth

• There is a Gonk backend

• The backend for Android vs. Linux is different

• Only support B2G right now, on AOSP. Easier if on that.

• Implemented their own version on B2G; about to change to meet the spec.

• Probably not easy to share DOM bindings, but maybe easier on the backend.

Today’s bluetooth stack

• Stack lives in a daemon
• Talks over IPC, not into the h/w layer from Gecko
• Work now to move to the new spec is changes on DOM side, not on the daemon side
• All in content process and gecko implementation
• Maybe share something on Servo-Android & Fennec? Different daemon for Android than B2G. Though, the daemon should run on Android.
• Don’t have any plans for running the daemon on Android.
• Problem may be that native apps can’t get to the WebBluetooth stack on Android.

Testing

• Mainly on-device tests today
• Write some tests apps to simulate the use cases for GATT
• Manual smoke tests
• Hard to do automated tests in the emulator b/c the APIs are too low-level for the GATT cases
• May add a driver between Marionette and the other stuff
• Probably going to use the WebBluetoothTest API spec from Marionette

Sharing

• Would be really nice to share the Android backend, since they don’t have it (just have B2G)
