Hi Marcel

I think that i've finally found the origin of the errors. The kernel log
shows:

(...)
<4> Unknown HCI packet type 01
(...)


This message is dropped every five minutes (aproximately) and the packet
type is not always 01. It seems that the serial communication (UART) with
the bluetooth module (EYMF2CAMM from TAIYO YUDEN) isn't very confiable. Do
you agree?

I used to attach the hci device using this command:
/bluez/bluezmain hciattach -n /dev/tts/2 any 115200
and always works.

Then I configured the kernel with BCSP support and tried to attach the
device using:
/bluez/bluezmain hciattach -n /dev/tts/2 bcsp 115200
/bluez/bluezmain hciattach -n /dev/tts/2 swave 115200

but none of them work at all. The error message is [hcid] Can't init device
hci0. Connection timed out(110)

What do you think about it?


Thanks for your interest.
Best Regards
CarlosAM
