[Bluez-devel] multiple devices clarification?

[Bluez-devel] multiple devices clarification?

[Anthony Yulo]

Hi!

I just want to clarify about bluez  supporting multiple devices in on 
computer...

and then lookd into one of marcel's pages and it said:

"HCI 16.x Any combination of seven slaves and two masters (but not more than 
seven devices at one time)  "..

So what does this mean? so i can't have more than two masters in one 
computer? is that correct?

you can attach up to 16 Bluetooth adapters to your PC.

This is CSR specific and these are per device limitations.

Hi Anthony,

> What do you mean per device limitations? :)

what you don't understand is that there is a difference between number
of devices and number of connections per device.

BlueZ supports up to 16 device per host. If all of them are CSR based
with the HCI 16.x firmware or greater, each of them can be master of
seven slaves or slave of two masters.

Regards

Marcel
