[Bluez-users] "hcitool dev" shows no devices

[Bluez-users] "hcitool dev" shows no devices

[Marco Trudel]

Hello everybody

I've a 2.4.26 kernel. I patched it using the "patch-2.4.26-mh2.gz" from the 
bluez homepage. *
Then, in "make menuconfig" I selected this points:
# Bluetooth support -> Bluetooth subsystem support
#                      L2CAP protocol support (NEW)
#                      RFCOMM protocol support
#                        RFCOMM TTY support (NEW)
# Bluetooth support -> Bluetooth device drivers -> HCI USB driver (new)

Then I compiled and installed the new kernel.
After that I compiled and installed the bluez-libs and bluez-utils.

Everything works well...
Now I try "hcitool dev" but no devices are showed (I have two D-Link DBT120 
connected to usb ports).

Any Ideas why they aren't recognized?
Did I miss to add a feature to the kernel?

kind regards
Marco


* Something gets rejected during the patch (It doesn't seem important to 
me, but maybee it is):

Makefile.rej:
***************
*** 1,7 ****
   VERSION = 2
   PATCHLEVEL = 4
   SUBLEVEL = 26
- EXTRAVERSION =

   KERNELRELEASE=$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)

--- 1,7 ----
   VERSION = 2
   PATCHLEVEL = 4
   SUBLEVEL = 26
+ EXTRAVERSION = -mh2

   KERNELRELEASE=$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)

what does "hciconfig -a" say? What is in /proc/bus/usb/devices?

You can ignore this one. It will almost fail if you don't use a vanilla
base.

Re: [Bluez-users] "hcitool dev" shows no devices

[Marco Trudel]

Hello Marcel

I found out why they aren't recognized.
hcid needs to be running in order to start them (HCI dev X up)...
stupid me... I thought that this isn't necessary.

thanks a lot!


But another question arised starting hcid:
The location of etc/bluetooth/pin. Is it hardcoded?
I crosscompiled the bluez libs/utils and hcid now tells me on start:
Can't open PIN file /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/etc/bluetooth/pin. No 
such file or directory(2)

Can I change the location of the pin-file? maybee in the hcid.conf?

kind regards
Marco

there is no option for that. However you can provide a patch if you
think such an option is usefull.

You forgot "--sysconfdir=/etc" when you call configure as it is written
in the README.

Marcel

that does exactly what I need (and my c knowledge is very limited, I'd 
require a couple of weeks for a patch :-))!

thanks a lot for your help!

kind regards
