[Bluez-users] Errors from hcid

[Bluez-users] Errors from hcid

[Michael Gorbach]

I've set up my dinovo bluetooth dongle after some playing around, using 
hid2hci. It is working ok ... but I am getting errors every 5 or 10 minutes 
in my 12th console and in /var/log/messages. They look like this:
Dec  2 18:21:16 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry start message
Dec  2 18:21:20 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry result message
Dec  2 18:21:24 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry complete message
Dec  2 18:26:17 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry start message
Dec  2 18:26:20 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry result message
Dec  2 18:26:24 swatBox hcid[11586]: Can't send D-BUS inquiry complete message
Can anyone tell me what's going on here, and what i need to do to fix or at 
least get some more info on what's going on?

Thanks,
Michael Gorbach

what version of bluez-utils are you using and what kind of Linux
distribution is this?

[Bluez-users] Cannot compile bluez-utils-2.25

[Agustin Jose Fusaro]

Hi everybody,

I'm having trouble installing the bluez-utils-2.25 package. I've already
installed the bluez-libs-2.25 package without any problem, but now, when
I try to ' make ' the new utils I get an undefined reference to
`dbus_connection_close' error in file dbus.c. It seems not to be defined
in this file.

Has anybody had this problem?

By the way, I've been working with the bluez library and utils (2.22)
for a while and had some strange problems (rfcomm mostly)... so I just
wanted to make sure that I have the latest version before making further
questions.

Thanks a lot!

Agustin Fusaro

The function dbus_connection_disconnect was deprecated. It was renamed
to dbus_connection_close. Try update your D-Bus or rename the
function.

[Bluez-users] Connection attempt timeout

[Agustin Jose Fusaro]

Hi everybody,

I'm developing an application using the bluetooth libraries provided by
Marcel. I'm working with rfcomm connections. After looking at the
function cmd_connect (in the file 'main.c',in the rfcomm directory of
the bluez-utils-2.25) I realized that (using this function) there's no
way to set the connection attempt timeout (the time the connection
attempt will last if the remote device is, for example, turned off).

My question is, Is there a way to set this time? (maybe using the
properties of the sockets involved in this connection)

If anyone knows this answer, it'd be great!

Thanks very much!

what do you mean by connection attempt timeout. I think the correct term
is page timeout and you can of course set it with hciconfig.

I've found the piece of code that does the trick (function _cmd_page_to
in file hciconfig.c). Thanks Marcel!

[Bluez-users] Link quality measurement

[Agustin Jose Fusaro]

Hi everybody,

I'm using 'hcitool lq bdaddr' to obtain the link quality of an rfcomm
connection. I wanted to know how this 'quality' is measured, i.e., what
does the number (raging from 0 to 255) mean?
Does anybody has any idea about this? What would be the typical or
optimal link quality measurement?

Thanks a lot,

Agustin Fusaro - Apexar Technologies

in case of a CSR chip it is well defined. In case of other chips I have
no idea, because the link quality is manufacturer specific. Look at my
CSR page at www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/csr.html for more details.

[Bluez-users] Bitstuffing in a Rfcomm connection?

[Agustin Jose Fusaro]

Hi everybody,

I'm writing an application that communicates using rfcomm connections.
This application communicates with mobile devices. In order to debug the
application I also wrote a mobile device emulator that runs in a
computer.

Here's the problem:
When the application connects to the mobile device everything works
fine. But when the application connects to the computer emulating a
device, I obtain, mingled with the data the following bytes:
"00 5E 40". Sometimes these bytes are together. Some other times these
bytes are spreaded among the real data bytes. These additional bytes
keeps the application from synchronizing with the emulated device.

My question is: when an rfcomm connection is stablished between two
computers, is there some bit/byte stuffing involved?

Thanks a lot!

provide is with a full "hcidump -X -V" for this problem, because I have
no idea what you are talking about.

Re: [Bluez-users] Bitstuffing in a Rfcomm connection?

[Agustin Jose Fusaro]

Hi Marcel,

Here's the situation. I have an open rfcomm connection which I use
through a file descriptor, fd: fd = open(devname, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);

I realized that the 'extra bytes' I was reading (using the read
function) actually are some bytes that I'm periodically writing (using
the write function) to this file descriptor. It's like I have an 'echo'
of the bytes I write... I read all the incoming that AND the bytes I'm
writing  to this fd.

I'm taking a closer look at the documentation for these functions right
now...

Thanks a lot!!!

set the TTY into raw mode or use the RFCOMM socket directly.
