Re: Creation of AF_BLUETOOTH socket with HCI_DEV__REG

[pavan_savoy@indiatimes.com]

Hi,

I have an application that does a hci_open_dev, and what I am trying to understand from the stack code is why can't [and further on how can..] my application do the hci_open_dev [basically the socket(AF_BLUETOOTH)], without the hcid service being On.

note: I have to do hciattach because I need to use UART.

I have really no idea what you are trying to achieve here. hciattach  
and hcid are not tight together at all.
