At first a short overview over Bluetooth is given. Afterwards different setups utilizing the MLE 1000 Series Rapid Prototyping System and the power of the MLE Linux operating system are described. Furthermore a framework for automation of Bluetooth testing and chip level analysis of Bluetooth communication is demonstrated. Then we have a detailed look on a Hands Free Profile communication. Finally more advanced testing methods, which make use of the FPGA in the MLE 1000 Series Rapid Prototyping System are mentioned. Copyright \u00a9 2026 Missing Link Electronics. All rights reserved.
