RE: [Bluez-devel] BC Flag in HCI ACL Data PACket.

[Aarti Kumar]

Hi Marcel,
I am doing some performance relatedd work over
bluetooth and I need to use the BC (Broadcast Control)
Flag in HCI ACL Data packet. The packet format
specifies 12 bits of connection handle and 2 bits each
of Packet Boudary Flag and BC Flag. I set the BC flag
to a value before sending (that is in function
hci_send_acl in hci_core.c) and have changed the
receiver function hci_acldata_packet function (in
hci_core.c) to recognize the value. But somehow it
dosent work. I was looking through the code for hci
and bcsp layer but couldnt locate anything related to
Flag field embeded in connection handle value. Are you
aware of any function which checks the Flag value in
HCI ACL data packet header after hci_send_acl function
(at sender side)and before hci_acldata_function (at
receiver side). Or anyother way so that I can use the
BC flag field.

Thanking you.

Regards,
Aarti.

show me your code modifications and explain what you are trying to
achieve. I am not sure how the BC flag can help you.

who said that the BC flag will be there at the other end after your
packet is sent over the air? I don't think that you can misuse HCI flags
to achieve your goal. The HCI is a hardware interface and not a protocol
layer.
