It describes the layers of this architecture and how they relate to each other, so that embedded OS designers and developers can identify the components that are referenced in the Bluetooth (/fwlink/?LinkId=209918) documentation for Windows Embedded Compact 7. Each layer is a collection of components that include protocol implementations, APIs, applications, and services. The description of each layer includes its contents, purpose, and location in relation to the Bluetooth stack. These layers are divided into three primary components. The following table describes these components from the highest to lowest level layers. Component
