5 Wi-Fi features and main scenarios (FC6050W)
The Parrot module can either be configured as a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), a Wi-Fi
station (client) or can be used in ad-hoc mode. As an access point, up to 8 devices can
be connected simultaneously.
The host is responsible for:
• enabling/disabling Wi-Fi
• configuring the security level (WEP, WPA, WPA2), and associated passes
• retrieving network information as needed (example: which users are connected)
The FC6050W manages the Wi-Fi network according to the host commands.
Regardless, the FC6050W is responsible for:
• taking care of low-level networking tasks
• keeping the host informed of networking events
There are a lot of different possible use cases, you’ll find below an overview of the main ones. For

3G USB Dongle
Parrot currently supports over 200 3G dongles worldwide. Compatibility testing is done
continually to verify interoperability with new dongles on the market. Test teams are present
is in the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and China.
USB Tethering
As for DUN and PAN, the device acts as a modem and provides the data to the module over
USB. Feature availability is provider and OS dependant. Parrot currently supports Android,
iOS, RIM and Symbian OS.
Wi-Fi Tethering
Any mobile device supporting Wi-Fi access point feature can be used by Parrot module as
an additional internet source. This feature has to be enabled by the network provider.
6.2
Parrot router
In order to provide flexible network handling and configuration, Parrot developed a router
embedded on the FC6050.
It allows the host to connect any network interface available on the FC6050 (Wi-Fi, 3G
modem, DUN/PAN via BT, Tethering over USB, HOST). It is configurable through a user
friendly set of AT commands (Parrot’s HSTI) and makes it possible to enable internet
services (ftp, vnc, http, for example) on each interface.
:
6.3
Miscellaneous
The FC6050W needs to be informed of the provider’s DNS (Domain Name Server) IP
address. This information is transmitted to the FC6050W via an HSTI command.
Parrot's FC6050W does not do filtering (firewalling) on the host provided network
transactions, except what may be needed for its own safety. Hence, if some filtering must be
done for network operator or any other reason, it shall be done by the host. Thus, the host is
responsible for the incoming network traffic. Examples include blocking incoming
connections, restricting use to http and https protocols, forbidding POP/IMAP use, blocking
VOIP etc. (these examples come from common phone operator contractual regulations).

7 Host to FC6050B/W interface details
The architecture relies on 4 key features:
1. Using USB as a fast, standard physical medium – USB is used to exchange
commands, events, and user data between the host and Parrot's Wi-Fi enabled
FC6050W. A USB 2.0 High Speed link has a bandwidth of 480 Megabits per second
(60 Megabytes per second). Even with upper layer protocol overhead needed by the
USB physical medium, there is more than enough room for a quality network
connection. [As a point of reference, a typical PC network interface card (NIC) is
100Mbs. A full-blown heavy duty network server has 1000Mbs (1Giga bit per second)
NICs.]
2. Standard networking over USB protocols - Just as serial lines have been used as
the physical medium for networking for years (reference Point-to-Point Protocol), USB
can be used as the physical medium for standard TCP/IP networking. CDC ECM
(Communication Device Class, Ethernet Control Model) is the USB - Implementers
Forum standard for such use. Using such protocols, the USB connection appears to
the operating system as a Network Interface Card (NIC), ready to carry Ethernet
frames. From then on, all rich TCP/IP protocol stacks are available.
3. Parrot's HSTI library uses networking as its logical medium - The Parrot Host
Software Interface (HSTI) library (see section 8) uses a network socket interface,
allowing command and event communication as on a network.
4. An inner, user-hidden network – This connection simply consists of just two nodes:
• the host processor
• Parrot’s Wi-Fi enabled OEM module.
The car information and entertainment system can be referred to as the host, and
Parrot's FC6050W module as the target. However, from a USB bus perspective (i.e.
according to USB standard terminology):
• the host is considered a “USB device”
• the Parrot's FC6050W target module is considered a “USB host”
The USB terminology of “USB host” and “USB device” does not interfere with the notion
of master / slave from a system perspective, but rather is a matter of hardware and
operating system stack configuration.
The networking architecture can be done using FC6050W as an USB device, and the
host as the USB host. However, in such a case, the use of USB media devices (for
example, MTP or USB flash drive with media files) cannot be done by the FC6050W,
even if a USB hub is used.
7.1
UART
Alternatively, if no USB port is available on the Host side, a serial port can be used to
control the FC6050 using Parrot’s HSTI command and control interface over UART.
DATASHEET Confidential Information16/84
Ref: EL-
2009-009
7.2
Protocols used
Two types of protocols are used:
1. Standard networking over USB protocol, carrying both HTSI and internet data.
2. The Parrot's HSTI command and events protocol.
7.3
Standard networking over USB protocol for data transmission
The FC6050W handles a USB protocol named CDC ECM (Communication Device
Class, Ethernet Control Model) for networking over USB.
CDC ECM is the USB-Implementers Forum SIG standard for networking Ethernet over
USB. Widely used for cable DSL modem and USB-Ethernet dongles before the domestic
use of NIC became widespread, it has been an official part of the Linux OS since 2003.
CDC ECM goal is to use a USB connection to mimic NICs cards between a USB host
and a USB device, with their MAC and configurable IP addresses, able to convey any
Ethernet frames. These NICs can then be set up and used as any regular network card
would be. From a Linux application point of view, there isn’t any difference between a
USB CDC ECM network connection and a regular one. Actually, the Linux application is
not even aware of physical media used (USB rather Ethernet), since this media is hidden
behind the networking stack of the Linux OS.
RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) is Microsoft vendor-specific,
non-standard way to carry Ethernet over USB. Although RNDIS is not recommended,
RNDIS may be used as a replacement for CDC ECM.
8 Software interface, HSTI Library
The FC6050x software interface, HSTI Library, is defined by a high level command set
on top of Parrot Libraries.
This interface software is based on the HSTI commands defined by Parrot. These
commands are fully documented and the software library is provided by Parrot for easy
implementation in the host CPU.
Some commands are used to manage Bluetooth related functions like device pairing and
connection management as well as the acoustic and speech recognition functions.
Other commands are used to manage Music connected on USB ports.
The HSTI Command List and Bluetooth AT Command Software Specification are
available upon request.
The Bluetooth software stack, BLUES, supports Unicode, which allows the management
of language accents and allows for phonebook management in any language.
DATASHEET Confidential Information17/84

8.1
Parrot’s HSTI protocol for network connectivity
HSTI is Parrot's standard API used over its product range. It provides a rich yet simple,
fully documented set of more than 250 high-level commands to pilot the FC6050. The
host sends AT commands, and registers to events to be notified of changes occurring in
the FC6050.
HSTI is available and used on Linux operating system.
HSTI can be used over a network socket or a serial line (UART).
Some HSTI commands are specifically designed to handle network connectivity. For
examples, see the document “Parrot Host Software Interface Specification”. Some
networking commands are exemplified below.
The following steps are required in order for the host CPU to establish a dialog and take
command of the FC6050;
1. Setup the USB link to FC6050 as CDC ECM.
2. Configure this new Ethernet interface (IP address, netmask, broadcast address). For
ease of use, and since there is no added value in making these parameters dynamic,
these IP parameters should be fixed in the product (example 192.168.64.1) - to be
discussed with Parrot.
3. In the host application, open a standard internet socket. This socket will be used to
communicate with the FC6050 via HSTI. The port used for this socket should be a
fixed one, that does not interfere with any commonly used protocol (example value:
23000) – to be discussed with Parrot. From this point, regarding communication to
the FC6050, the host application will not have to care about networking any more.
The socket and USB network connection will be used transparently between the 2
CPUs to carry all HSTI dialog.
4. Register to HSTI events for notification. Events can either be responses from FC6050
to explicit host commands, or unsolicited, asynchronous events such as “new USB
stick insertion”, or “3G dongle insertion”.
5. The host can then send commands to the FC6050 using the HSTI API.
Regarding networking, some additional steps are required. As an example, if the internet
connectivity comes from a 3G dongle plugged into the FC6050 (see section 4, scenario
2):
• The FC6050 shall notify the host of the availability of the 3G dongle by sending an
event.
• If the host decides to enable the internet connection, it prompts the user, for the PIN
code. The prompt and PIN entry is done through the host user interface (screen and
keyboard or touch screen).
• The host sends the PIN code to the FC6050, via an HSTI command.
• The FC6050 manages the 3G dongle, and reports connection status to the host
(example: connection established, or PIN code rejected)
DATASHEET Confidential Information18/84
Ref: EL-
2009-009
Some things to notice:
• The host may choose to make the internet connection available to the FC6050 Wi-Fi
access point or not. In all cases, the host is in command to dynamically enable or
disable capabilities via the FC6050.
• If the internet connectivity comes from the host (section 4, scenario 1), then the DNS
IP address has to be sent to the FC6050, using the dedicated HSTI command.
• If the host requires internet connectivity for itself from the FC6050 (section 4, third
scenario), then it should do so explicitly and query the FC6050 for the DNS address,
again using the dedicated HSTI commands.
• Internet connectivity provided by the FC6050 (second and third use case) is not “all or
nothing”. It can be used for;
o Wi-Fi access point only
o host only
o both Wi-Fi access point and host use
o disabled
In all relevant cases, the internet networking traffic between the host and the FC6050 will
use the same network interface established before via USB CDC ECM to carry HSTI
commands. This is done transparently so that applications, either on host or on the
FC6050, do not need to handle it (unless of course the host application is willing to do
so).
As a benefit inherited from its rooted serial line interface, the network traffic generated by
the HSTI dialog is extremely low: a typical HSTI query or reply ends up in a dozen or
less bytes of payload. Thus, this HSTI traffic does not interfere with the network
bandwidth available to Wi-Fi users or the host.
Here is an example demonstrating a typical host-side HSTI sequence to setup Wi-Fi,
choose a security level and setup a Wi-Fi network name:
/* set the Wi-Fi “on”, Access Point mode : */
HSTI_CmdAPI_Send_WSWM(AP);
/* Send access point configuration : set the security protocol to WPA */
HSTI_CmdAPI_SendWAPC(SET, SECURITY, WPA);
/* Access point configuration : the SSID naming the Wi-Fi network is “my car network” */
HSTI_CmdAPI_SendWAPC_STR(SET, SSID, “my car network”);

Voice Recognition for Music Data on external sources
10.4.1 RAP
RAP is an optional Parrot-developed voice recognition gateway. In combination with the
voice recognition option and the CONCERTOS software option it provides the user the
ability to select music on multiple external sources and to operate player functionalities
by voice commands. RAP allows recognition by album title, music type (genre) or artist
name regardless of where the media file resides.
The voice recognition latency is, on average, 1.8 seconds for a database size of 20,000
Albums or Artists. The latency can be improved by reducing the number of Albums or
Artists (~1s for 10 000). Based on trials with the French Parrot test database the voice
recognition accuracy is ~ 85 %.
The maximum number of recognizable items depends on the available memory.
10.4.2 Gracenote® for Music Data on external sources
Gracenote's technology is being relied on by many of the world's leading consumer
electronic devices and media software applications. Gracenote uses a multi-step
recognition method to enable identification, categorization, and organization of digital
music. Regardless of source or format, Gracenote gives music fans the tools to manage
and enjoy their music collections.

10.4.2.2Playlist Plus
Parrot also offers an additional tool from Gracenote known as Playlist PlusTM. Designed
to work with MediaVOCS, Playlist Plus analyzes the metadata for music brought into the
vehicle and offers a variety of playlists for the music library. These playlists may be
either pre-set or user customized. In addition, the user may select “More Like This” and
hear other songs in the music library of a similar genre to the song currently playing.
10.4.3 Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
The Parrot FC6XX0 product line offers an advanced voice recognition system based on
Grammar based NLU (Natural Language Understanding, VoCon3200 version 3.3 )
With NLU, the user has the ability to control various vehicle feature by voice without
"being constrained" by traditional voice recognition menu trees or categories (music,
phone book, ...).
All Parrot features and other vehicle functions can be controlled via voice from the press
of a single “push-to-talk” (PTT) button.
With NLU, the user can skip the step of narrowing the choices:
• Selection of Phone Number from Phonebook
• “I want to call John Smith”
• “Call John Smith”
• “Call John Smith at home”
• “Call Smith at the office”
• “Call John Smith on Mobile
• Selection of Music from Music Library
• “Play something from John Mayer”
• “Play Parachutes from Coldplay”
• “Play Bob Marley” [Note: this command works even though the official artist name is
“Bob Marley and the Whalers”]
• “Play Jazz”
• “Play Alternative”
• “Play Super Hits of Miles Davis
These are just a sample of what is possible with NLU.
Other features, not residing on the Parrot FC6XX0 module can also benefit from NLU.
This includes use cases such as tuning of a radio station or activating a rear-camera
image:
• “Tune to 97.1 Megahertz”
• “Tune to 950 AM”
• “Switch to FM”
• “Seek”
• “Play AM preset 3

10.4.3.1Nuance Music Pre-Processor (MPP)
The Parrot RAP multimedia library option includes Nuance Music Pre-Processor (MPP)
to facilitate flexible voice recognition access to music. Specifically, Nuance MPP allows
the user to speak only a portion of the album title or artist name and find the intended
song. Flexible music selection allows users to speak the most common variations and
still be understood.
“Avia” for “Avia feat. Raz Ohara”
“Nuage” for “Nuage (Take 2)”
“Police” for “The Police”
With Nuance MPP, users can speak album titles are artist’s names that they know are
present on their own music player without looking at any visual prompt.
10.4.3.2ddG2P / CLC MP3
Nuance ddG2P MP3 and CLC MP3 are Nuance’s high speed, small footprint
Graphemes to Phonemes converters (G2P, converting the text to phonetics) dedicated
to the music domain.

Remote speech to text engine
Parrot is evaluating different solutions of remote voice recognition.
Based on a client-server model, they will allow the end user to use off-board voice
recognition engines, running on centralized servers, accessible through an internet
connection.

12.14.3.2VDA microphones
The ADC gain must be set to 0dB by the Host SW via AT commands.
Furthermore the signal level of the microphone must be reduced by:
o 12dB with microphone with 670mV/Pa sensitivity
o 6dB with microphone with 300mV/Pa sensitivity
This can be done with a simple interface circuit. It is composed of a microphone bias circuit and a

We use a voltage divider (R1, R2) to reduce the signal. It is dimensioned as follows:
R1 + R2 ≈ 15kΩ,
- 20. Log (R2 / (R1 + R2)) = AdB,
in order to keep the impedance of the load much higher than 680Ω.
in order to attenuate the signal by AdB.
We recommend using those resistor values for correct attenuation so that we can adjust easily

13 Mechanical specifications
The FC6050 modules will be available in two different mounting configurations, one
which mounts perpendicular to the host PCB (vertical) and one which mounts parallel to
the host PCB (horizontal).
The following chart describes the availability of the various versions of the FC6050B/W.
14.1.1 Head Unit (FC6050B/W) paired with Mobile phone
Handsfree telephony & Phonebook Synchronization
Hands Free Telephony
Phonebook
FC6050B/W & Host
Connections Strategy
If the Host does not store the contact information from the last synchronization with the
phonebook, the information is available for the Host at the next Module start up.
Immediately after HFP connection (which is initiated with the last connected device), it is
possible to place an outgoing call if requested. Once HFP initialization has finished (end
of SLC/Extended SLC), the Module starts the best phonebook synchronization method
available for the paired and connected phone. The Module will alert the Host that the
phonebook synchronization is complete with new entries now available, and ready to be
displayed on the HMI.
If an incoming/outgoing call occurs during the phonebook synchronization process,
depending on the method of phonebook synchronization which is used, the process is
paused. Once the call is finished, the phonebook synchronization restarts from where it
has been stopped, and the call history is updated. This is transparent for the end user.
Calls Management
For incoming calls, the Caller ID data (received from phone via CLIP or CLCC) is sent to
the Host to be displayed on the HMI.
HFP indicators such as signal level, battery level and network provider are forwarded to
the Host to be displayed on the HMI. CIND/CIEV indicators or GSM AT Commands are
used for this purpose.
Service Continuity
This feature handles the audio management of a call when the module is powered
on/off:
-
When the module is powered on, the module automatically connects HFP to the
phone and establishes the communication ((e)SCO connection) through the speakers
during the SLC.
DATASHEET Confidential Information56/84
Ref: EL-
2009-009
-
When the module is powered off, the module transfers the audio to the phone
((e)SCO disconnection) and disconnects the Bluetooth link.
This process ensures the Host to be immediately ready to start Handsfree usage.
Three way calling / multiple calls management
Once a call is established, if a second incoming call occurs, here is how the Host should
handle the HMI:
-
Green button: takes the second incoming call as active, and put the first one on hold.
Press green button again to switch between the two calls.
-
Red button: hangs up the active call and takes the second one as active.
Full 3-way calling management (and multiparty calls) is optimized with phones
supporting HFP1.5. Parrot supports up to 7 calls at the same time for conference call
purposes.
With phones supporting HFP1.0 only, there are gaps in the specification such as:
-
When the user manages the calls from the phone interface, the phone does not
always notify the Module.
-
When the distant party who is on hold hangs up from its side, the phone does not
always notify the Module.

SCO forwarding feature (2 SCO)
The module is connected to a Headset and a phone at the same time. When requested
by the user, the Module is able to forward audio from the phone to the Headset.
Therefore, the communication is switched for privacy purpose. Two SCO channels are
opened by the Module.
Description of the behavior:
- Incoming call:
o
Pick up from the HMI will pick up the call and establish one (e)SCO with the
phone and one with the Headset.
o
Hang up from the HMI will hang up the call and release the 2nd SCO.
- Outgoing call:
o
Dialing from the HMI will place the call on the phone, and once the remote
party has picked up, one (e)SCO is established with the phone and one with
the Headset.
o
Hang up from the HMI will hang up the call and release the 2nd SCO.
A command is proposed on Parrot Module to handle the establishment of dual SCO,
depending on user need.

Multi HFP Feature
Parrot has developed the “Multi - HFP” feature, which enables the Module to handle two
Handsfree connections at the same time. This use case is useful for people having two
mobile phones, or when two users are in the car.
The Module is running phonebook synchronization on both phones, and each phone has
its own phonebook available for the Host (phonebooks are not merged).
HFP indicators are available for each phone.
Description of the behavior:
- First example:
two phones (P1 and P2) are connected to HFP service. The host can
start dialing on P1, hang up call then start outgoing call on P2.
- Second example:
the phone receives incoming call P1 on Module. After the end of
the first call from P1 the phone P2 can receive incoming call.
The multi HFP does not manage the calls of two phones at the same time.

AVHFP Feature
Most phones now support both HFP and A2DP Source/AVRCP TG. The most difficult
case is to correctly handle the AVHFP Feature (dual use of A2DP/AVRCP and HFP).
As there is no specification release by the Bluetooth SIG explaining how this multi-profile
use case should operate, a whitepaper has been issued by the A/V Working Group
(“
Simultaneous Use of HFP, A2DP, And AVRCP Profiles
Basically, the Whitepaper states that the phone should handle the streaming restart
management once the call is finished (this is the main concern today):
- Incoming call:
o
Pause the streaming upon indication of incoming call.
o
Send to the HF the indicators (CIEV Call setup)
o
Then, the HF picks up the call with ATA, communication/SCO is established
o
Once finished (from AG or HF), the AG should restart streaming from where it
the AG should handle the streaming management:
has been paused.
- Outgoing call from HF (ATD):
the AG should also handle this in the same manner.
Nevertheless, most phones do not correctly implement the Whitepaper, and the
streaming does not always restart after the call. Parrot has developed a strategy that
automatically relaunches streaming in this case.

connected.
As stated with the Whitepaper, in this use case, the Module handles the AVHFP
because the A2DP SRC is not the connected phone. If the Bluetooth Music Player
supports AVRCP TG, Parrot alerts the HMI with Playback status and Metadata.

Multi Profile Use
Parrot handles multiple Bluetooth connections. On the same device, it is possible to set
up both an HFP and a DUN connection.
According to the various Bluetooth implementations on phones, here is the description of
what is possible (given no phone limitations):
-
DUN only:
o
In this case, the phone acts as a Gateway and the Module forwards the data
to the Host (Data Terminal).
-
HFP and DUN:
o
If an incoming call occurs during the data transfer, there are three phone-
dependent behaviors:
The call is established and data transfer continues without affecting
bandwidth.
The call is established and data transfer is stopped (AG gives priority
to HFP feature).
The remote caller reaches the voicemail of the connected phone
(phone limitation).
o
If an outgoing call is requested by the user, the behaviors above also apply.
These behaviors are described, phone by phone, in the Parrot Bluetooth Compatibility Matrix with all
tested phones.

iPod / iPhone Management
For iPod / iPhone management, the Module directly accesses the iPod/iPhone database via iAP.
Here are the browsing modes offered by the Module:
- Artist (For all devices, including USB Mass Storage)
- Album
- Genre
- Playlist
- Title
- Podcast (only for iPod/iPhone)
- Composer
- File System (only for USB)
- Flat File System (only for USB)
Alternately, for the phonebook, UTF8 is used to communicate this database to the Host
(independent of whether this is a USB or iPod database).
The iPhone/iPhone3G can be used as a Bluetooth audio gateway and Music content at
the same time. In this case,
-
First, the user has to pair/connect their iPhone via Bluetooth to get the HFP features.
-
Once HFP connection has been established, they can connect their iPhone to the
dedicated iPod connector, and the Module handles the music browsing.
The user will have the Bluetooth HFP capacity and at the same time the possibility to
browse the iPod’s content.
More information about supported features are available in the Parrot Compatibility
Matrix.

Parrot Music Management
Once the USB flash stick is plugged in for the first time, the Module reads the USB stick content,
parses music files, and gives the Host the access to the file system. Once this first parsing is
finished, the Module re-parses music files, one by one, and builds the database using the
Metadata included in each file. The database is built according to this new parsing.
The Parrot Module provides the same set of commands for USB or iPods devices. The
implementation on the Host side is generic.
HFP and USB use at the same time
If a USB flash stick is plugged in while an HFP connection is already established with a phone,
this case is handled in two separate processes. Handsfree features are available while Concertos
is building the database in the background, without altering the Bluetooth link.

Head unit (FC6050 B/W) BT/USB/Wi-Fi software update
The firmware of Parrot modules can be updated in four different ways: by Bluetooth (when paired
with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop), by DUN, USB or UART.
The ability to update Parrot module software in the field is a very important feature of the
Parrot Module. This ensures better Bluetooth Compatibility with new phones, which are
continuously being released to the market. Some of these new phones need to have a
specific work-a-round when the Bluetooth specifications are not correctly implemented
on the phone (i.e. non-generic Bluetooth management).
Moreover, a major software update can include a new feature/profile (such as
AVRCP1.4 for instance) to give more compatibility or functionality to a car radio. This
software update can immediately be flashed (by Bluetooth, USB...) into your product
already out in the market.
User settings (paired devices, phonebooks...) are not erased during a software update.

connection (FC6050W). If an update is available on the server, the driver is then
prompted to launch the update process. (future method)
Secured software update mechanism
When the FC6050 software is updated, the new software is copied into the Module’s
flash memory but the previous software is not overwritten by this copy. During this
process, if an error occurs before the end of file transfer (Bluetooth disconnection, data
transfer stopped, USB Stick removed…), the Module will restart with the previous
software version.
The checksum of the new software is included into this new software. If the new file is
correctly written into the flash, when Module reboots, the new checksum is internally
calculated and compared to the checksum of this new software. If checksum are equal,
the new file will overwrite the previous one. During this process, if power supply is turned
off, the remaining data will continue to be written where it had been stopped at the next
boot.

16 Interoperability management during mass production
One of the key benefits of implementing a Parrot solution is knowing the system will
have the same high level of compatibility Parrot is known for. In order to maintain the
highest level of interoperability, Parrot has set up the following process:
- Parrot procures almost all available mobile telephones which are each individually
tested.
- Local testing is done to account for variations in different carrier networks;
Europe, USA, China, Japan & Korea
- A software team of 8 engineers focuses on the development of new Bluetooth
profiles
- A dedicated software bug tracking system is used to allow testers around the
world to access test results
- A dedicated software development team is available for debugging, as required
- Automated test methods which allow unmanned testing of AT Command
interaction around the clock
There are two categories of phones used in testing:
1. Pilot phones (approved phones): Pilot phones are tested using the tier 1 product.
This testing is done by the carmaker or Tier1. This usually includes 10 to 20
phones per region, depending on the market.
2. Compatible Phones: Compatibility Phone testing is done at the Parrot module
level with approximately 500 phones per year worldwide.
Approved phones are typically highlighted by the tier 1 customer in their marketing
material and customer-facing communication as examples of phones which exhibit
highly compatible features. Compatible phones may include the “pilot phones” and are
published in the “compatibility matrix” issued four times per year.
The following sections are intended to give you further insight pertaining to the dedicated
process.
16.1
Blues interoperability testing (compatible phones)
•
Compatibility testing (done continually):
Compatibility testing is done continually to verify interoperability with the Parrot Blues
software. This testing is done in the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and China. Phones are
targeted for testing according to the following criteria;
•
All phones that are less than 18 months old
•
All popular phones (even if they are older than 18 months old)
DATASHEET Confidential Information79/84
Ref: EL-
2009-009
• Pilot phone testing process for new BLUES releases (done per release):
16.2
Pilot phone testing of the gateway (Final product)
All phones tested during the Compatibility Testing process described above don’t need
to be retested on the final tier 1 product (gateway). A set of pilot phones, generally
around 10, are selected based on the set of features used in the product and phones
which support those features. If this set of pilot phones work properly with the gateway,
the HMI can be considered successfully validated for all phones with the same result
found in Parrot’s compatibility matrix.
DATASHEET Confidential Information80/84
Ref: EL-
2009-009
The following steps are required to complete the pilot phone testing of the gateway:
•
The customer will provide the set of AT commands they have implemented to control
the HMI and communicate with the Parrot software (or module).
•
The customer will also provide flow charts showing how the AT commands are
implemented according to planned use cases.
•
After review of the AT Command flow charts, Parrot will provide the list of pilot
phones that support the Gateway features and thus generate all AT commands and
events used in the HMI through the Gateway.
If new features are added later and a new AT command is needed, the pilot phone
testing of the gateway should be repeated with a new set of pilot phones that exercise
that new AT command:
The pilot phones testing is the responsibility of the tier 1 or the car maker using phones
approved by Parrot according to the steps described above.
