In 2024, I worked with a small team to bring up BlueZ as the Bluetooth stack of a real-world automotive In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system. In this talk, I am going to discuss the steps that we went through, the challenges that we faced, the caveats of BlueZ in contrast with closed-source alternatives and also present the contributions that we made to BlueZ and PipeWire as part of this process.
