This page will give you all the informations needed to have a running Bluetooth configuration on your Armadeus board.

Hardware

First you have to get a compatible hardware. Currently there are 3 solutions:

  • Get a Wireless extension board from armadeus systems (only available for APF27)
  • Get a cheap USB<->Bluetooth adapter (requires an USB Host port)
  • Get a RS232<->Bluetooth adapter

Tested hardware

Software

Bluetooth Linux stack is divided into several parts:

  • kernel drivers
  • userland libraries/daemon (bluez)

Driver installation

Usage

Bring up

  • Make sure your hardware is connected to the APF. If using an USB dongle, load corresponding driver:
# modprobe btusb
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.14
NET: Registered protocol family 31
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.4
usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb
  • Check if Bluetooth interface was detected:
# hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
        DOWN
        RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
        TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0
  • If interface is DOWN, bring it up:
# hciconfig hci0 up piscan
  • Check your Bluetooth device is correctly initialized:
# hcitool dev
Devices:
        hci0    00:10:60:D1:92:0F

Scanning network

# hcitool scan
