Open Stack

well in hardware engineering, when you are buying a part, from small parts
like a 555 timer to big parts like an SOC ( system on chip ) such as a
bluetooth transceiver, the datasheets will generally include what's called
a reference design.

so in addition to gobs of infortmation about the component, including
thermal variances, pin outs, and anything else you might need to know, it
will also generally include a simple circuit design that makes full use of
the part.

so that the person intending to use the part, has a basic working
environment to test with before they do their own development.  Or just to
see how it might fit into a circuit.  usually this is pretty easy to do
since most new chips also have development boards designed for them as
well.  you can usually just take chunks from the development board to turn
into a reference design.

a reference stack architecture would likely be similar to this.
