Billionton bluetooth USB: how to make it work

Billionton bluetooth USB: how to make it work

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

Okay, so the magic sequence seems to be:

# Take 2.6.12-rc3-mm3
#
# PCMCIA config:
# card "Cyber-blue Compact Flash Card"
#   manfid 0x0279, 0x950b
#   bind "serial_cs"
#
killall hciattach
sleep .1
setserial /dev/ttyS4 baud_base 921600
hciattach -s 921600 /dev/ttyS4 bcsp
hciconfig
hciconfig hci0 up
hciconfig

It took me a hour trying to debug weird stuff before I realized that I
need to do hciconfig up... to see some results...

Hi Pavel,

I have no idea what USB have to do with it and why you posted it to
LKML, but it seems you got it.

Verfied with my card and a 2.6.12-rc4.

Or make sure that hcid is running. It will bring up your device.

Oops, that was typo, I meant "Billionton bluetooth CF". I posted lkml
so that it gets archived on easy-to-search place.

Good. [Actually it does *not* work for me in -rc4, but it seems to be
pcmcia problem.]

Yes, I was just confused. I'm normally only starting hcid just before
talking to the phone, and I did not try it when I was BD address of
all zeros.
