Hello all,

I am evaluating a dev board based on iMX6 chipset from freescale with
Bluetooth LE in the next few days or so. The stable kernel for the
said chipset is based on linux kernel 3.0.35.x and I am not sure if
the Bluetooth "Low Energy" support is already part of the linux kernel
3.0.35.x.

Anyone could give me some input?.

Regards,

john

you need at least a 3.5.x kernel. Any previous kernel does not have Low
Energy enabled.

Hi Marcel,

I am using a pandaboard ES too and the kernel that I am using is 3.4.x
and I confirmed that it support the BLE.

Regards,

john

You will need a modified firmware to enable BLE. Maybe Chen Ganir can help you.
