What is Bluetooth stack?
Bluetooth stacks can be roughly divided into two: General-purpose implementations that are written with emphasis on feature-richness and flexibility, usually for desktop computers. Support for additional Bluetooth profiles can typically be added through drivers. Embedded system implementations intended for use in devices where resources are limited and demands are lower, such as Bluetooth peripheral devices. Generally, only a single stack can be used at any time: switching usually requires uninstalling the current stack, although a trace of previous stacks remains in the registry[citation needed]. However, there are some cases where two stacks can be used on the same computer, each using their own separate Bluetooth radio hardware. General-purpose implementations Microsoft Windows stackWindows XP includes a built-in Bluetooth stack starting with the Service Pack 2 update, released on 2004-08-06. Prior to this, Microsoft released a QFE of its Bluetooth stack for Windows XP Service Pack
