[Bluez-users] DBT 120 dongle defaulting to HID mode

[Bluez-users] DBT 120 dongle defaulting to HID mode

[Jesse Guardiani]

Hello,

Ever since the firmware upgrade to BT 1.2, my DBT 120
has been defaulting to HID mode. I only use HCI mode
currently, so it freaked me out the first time this
happened! I thought my dongle was dead! But then I
remembered hid2hci.

Is there a way to change the default mode of this dongle
back to HCI without downgrading the firmware?

yes, it is. You have to change the PS key for the boot mode.

OK. Has anyone written a program capable of changing arbitrary
PS key settings yet? Or do I have to write my own?

there is the pskey program, but this will only work over UART with H:4
or BCSP transports. The BlueZ hciconfig code contains code to read PS
key values, but it can't store them. However I really think that we need
a graphical pstool for Linux like the CSR one for Windows.

Marcel

Hi Marco,

it is called pstool (or PS Tool), but it is CSR specific and you won't
find it on the Internet.

Marcel

Try to find it with Google "pstool csr".

Best regards,

Hi
I've been looking for this pskey program, but have yet only found it in 
"iPaq" package format. Anyone with a link to the sources? And has 
anyone used it with other arches than iPaq? If not, does anyone have an 
idea of how much work needs to be done to get it up and running?

Regards

Marcel wrote the pskey tool. With that you can set the boot mode of a csr 
dongle. It's currently only in the cvs.

regards
Marco
