[Bluez-devel] Kernel Modules for ARM

[Bluez-devel] Kernel Modules for ARM

[Mayank Batra]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 599 bytes --]

Hi,

I am successfully able to cross-compile bluez-libs-2.25 and
bluez-utils-2.25for ARM.

But I feel that the kernel modules (like bluez.o, l2cap.o, rfcomm.o etc)
have not been built for ARM. (Or if they have been built somewhere, but I
can't find them)

So, if I say insmod bluez on my target, it says:

# insmod bluez
Using /lib/modules/kernel/bluez.o
insmod: ELF file not for this architecture
insmod: Could not load the module: Bad address

I have the feeling that the bluez.o is not an ELF file and it was not
generated during the cross compile.

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Regards,
Mayank

the kernel modules for BlueZ are part of the Linux kernel. Pick a recent
kernel and you get all of them. And you should really go ahead with a
2.6 kernel. It is worth any initial trouble.

I already have a 2.4.21 kernel running, but I cannot see any of the kernel
modules for BlueZ, e.g. bluez.o, l2cap.o, rfcomm.o in the directory
/lib/modules/kernel.

So does that mean that my kernel was compiled without Bluetooth support?
- If yes, is there any way with which I can enable Bluetooth support? (Will
I have to recompile the kernel?)
- Or can I directly apply some patch by which I can get those kernel
modules?

Kindly advise.

Thanks.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi Marcel,

One more question:
The kernel patches that are there at your site
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel/
are they for i386 or ARM?
Because my kernel is for ARM, can I apply those patches?

Thanks.
Regards,
Mayank

these patches are only changing the source code and i386, ARM and other
kernels are compiled from the same source.

you will have to re-compile the kernel if no additional kernel modules
package is available.

Have you tried to compile the kernel Modules as build in ?? This avoids 
all possible module path problems and stuff in the first place. 

I also would recommend using a 2.6 kernel. We do not have any problems 
with it (at least not with the BlueZ part). 

Below is my build script for cross compiling bluez libs and utils. Maybe 
this helps.
TARGET is set to arm-linux and XPREFIX is the path to the target device 
root on the build machine. Maybe this helps. 

Ciao, 

Peter

Ok...I'll try...but not now

Thanks a lot for this script. But I've already cross-compiled the bluez-libs
and blue-utils. Anyways, I'll keep them with me for reference later on.
Actually, I almost did the steps written in the script. So, its good to have
them in a script.

Another problem that I am facing now is that when I do hcitool scan, I find
no devices whereas there are a lot of devices in the surroundings.
Another strange thing is that sdptool browse actually shows the services
present on the remote devices.
Also, if I register any service using sdptool, I can see it from a remote
device.
Any suggestion? Marcel?

Thanks.

Regards,
Mayank
