3.1.1 TC-3000C System Architecture
TC-3000C is made up of two main blocks,
a RF/DSP module and host CPU module,
and is connected by a host controller
interface (HCI) that is identical to
Bluetooth system architecture. The
RF/DSP module provides an RF interface
to DUT, performs physical measurements
and manages the Bluetooth link. The
internal host CPU (PC), which runs on
Linux platform, takes care of user
interface (UI) functions including display,
key input and I/O controls for RS-232C,
USB, LAN and other standard peripheral
devices. The adoption of open OS
minimizes unnecessary constraints on
system optimization. This simple, elegant
system architecture takes advantage of
both power of DSP and convenience of
PC.
HOST and HOST controller must be connected to each other by USB except
for a case when TC-3000C uses an external HOST or HOST controller.
