[Bluez-users] Address endianess?

[Bluez-users] Address endianess?

[Per Thomas Jahr]

Hi, 

Is there a standard ordering of the bytes in a bluetooth address?  

On my linux box (2.6.12.1):
# hcitool dev 
Devices:
        hci0    00:02:72:C0:7C:2B

But when my phone (Sony Ericsson K800i) discovers my server, I get this
address for the server:

2B7CC0720200 

This is from the Java bluetooth api on the device. And yes, I have to
reverse that address in order to connect to the server.

--
Thanks 
Per Thomas

the Bluetooth device address (BD_ADDR for short) is an IEEE address and
it is always transmitted in reverse order.
