[Bluez-users] Active Broadcast in BLuez

[tishzone]

Hi there,

Sorry for bothering you with that broadcast story again, it's just I
have to be sure to be accurate in an article I'm writing right now..,
so the question is, does the bluez API support Active Slave Broadcast
as it is specified in Bluetooth 2.0? Or basically, can I use the bluez
API to send a broadcast message from a master node, so that all the
slaves will receive it?

Thanks a lot,
Patrick

since BlueZ has an raw socket interface to HCI you can do everything you
like. The question is how easy it is ;)
