I think cause no one knows already how to do what we need to do, and it's
taking a long time to learn.  Reading the Bluetooth 1.1 spec (more than 1000
pages) is a pretty lengthy task on it's own.  But then we have the problem that
the hardware and software sides don't quite meet up in terms of both 
terminology and expectations.  I've been trying to learn VHDL to get a bit of
a better grip on how we should continue, so that I can understand the type of
hardware design that everyone has been talking about.  But that also is very 
slow going.  I understand the contents of the VHDL book that I have, but there
aren't very good open source tools to learn with.  Plus, I still don't have a
very good idea about how this would actually be used.  The information I've 
found online says that VHDL can be used for both setting up simulation and for
synthesis, but when I've asked about using design files to setup tests it seems
there are other ill-defined steps required before they can be used.

I haven't been posting anything because I don't think I have a good plan for 
how to implement what our next steps should be.  No one else has stepped up
with an alternate plan, so I'm assuming we would like to setup a simulated 
NOUR environment.  But who is familiar enough over all of Bluetooth, hardware
design, and software to setup a system?  I would be willing to setup the 
software end of these things, but I'm just not familiar enough with hardware to be able to answer the questions that come up from the hardware side about how
that simulation would be used to validate designs.  Since that work might not
be very usefull in the long run, I've held off from doing it while I read.
That has been taking a VERY long time.  I'm still around however.
