[Bluez-users] Bluetooth Service

[Bluez-users] Bluetooth Service

[Zia Syed]

Hi, 

I was wondering how can I create my own Bluetooth service using Bluez? I
was looking for any Bluez programming guide or sumthing but no luck :(.
Can anyone guide/advise me about how to implement custom bluetooth
service?

Thanks.

Zia

Hi Marcel,

At first, I would want to make a simple chat application lookalike. The
aim would be for client to discover services and establish connection to
the server socket. Once having that, I was thinking about streaming
other web-contents/xml using the connection. While reading the Bluetooth
specification, I read about HTTP service, but again I don't know whether
if its implemented in Bluez, or how can it can be implemented. 

Also, for me the mystery is what happens when the service is being
discovered? How does the client makes the connection to the service
itself? Is there any relevant documentation around over it?

Thanks.

you can use L2CAP or RFCOMM based sockets for it. The BlueZ utils/test
directory contains example programs for it. You should look at it and
start writing your own code. Look at my latest slides for a more general
overview (http://www.holtmann.org/papers/bluetooth/wtc2003_slides.pdf).
