[Bluez-users] no concurrent inquiry / inquiry scan and L2CAP connection as slave

[Bluez-users] no concurrent inquiry / inquiry scan and L2CAP connection as slave

[Michael Schmidt]

Hi folks,

I'm experiencing the following behavior with BlueZ and L2CAP:

After establishing an L2CAP connection between two nodes, only the 
master of this connection is still able to:

- perform periodic device inquiries (i.e. search other devices
   in 'Periodic_Inquiry_Mode')	
- perform inquiry scans (i.e. be visible for other searching devices)

However, I would like to be able to do this as slave as well (at least, 
to perform inquiry scans as slave).

Now I'm wondering whether:

- this is a restriction of BlueZ		or
- this is a restriction of my BT chipsets	or
- this is a restriction of Bluetooth		or
- I'm doing (configuring) something wrong...

My environment:

SuSE Linux 9.0: kernel 2.4.21, bluez-libs 2.4, bluez-utils-2.3

I have tested and verified this behavior with the BrainBoxes BL-500 and
BL-554 adapters.
I'd be very grateful if someone of you could shed some light on this topic.


Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I have an application which connects 2 or mode nodes via rfcomm and all
nodes still do inquirys all the time. Since rfcomm is build on top of
l2cap your stuff should work. Maybe you like to verify it by looking at
my code - http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/btchat/

this sounds like a chip limitation. What does "hciconfig -a" say?

I have _never_ seen a slave connected device answer to an inquiry.
Did some of you actually see this ?

Don't get confused by the apparently weird device addresses; this is

you need at least a HCI 16.4 firmware to get it working. Check my pages
and the "hciconfig hci0 revision" command for more information.

[Bluez-users] general question on the procedure of BlueZ

[Johannes]

Hi all,

I would have a question on the general procedure, how BlueZ works.

My problem is, that the video-file, I will send from Server to mobile 
phone, is corrupt. At most, there were transmitted only 9216byte instead 
the origin 12913byte. When I let the server sleep for (e.g.)  60sec. 
after the video-file (over an OutputStream and OutputStream.close()) is 
sent  and before the connection is closed to the phone, it works. But 
this is not really a good implementation.

So, how does the BlueZ-Stack works. Does it has an puffer, smaller than 
13kbyte or how is the connecton-closing realized? Will be the connection 
closed, if such an methode will be called, no matter, whether there are 
data in the puffer?

Hi again,

I forgot to say, that the sdp-deamon says "Segmentation fault", when I 
cancel it, to start an new version of my proxy.
Hopefully it helps.

Thanks for the info. I'm beginning to understand that I'm scratching
scatternet functionality with my requirements.

Looks like I have to check for a firmware upgrade of my modules (if
available...).

Re: [Bluez-users] general question on the procedure of BlueZ

[Johannes]

Hi,

can you give me a short checklist, which modules I have to start, that 
the communication will have success? Perhaps I have forgotten something.
when I do lsmod, I see the following (relevant) entries:

l2cap                  28416  2
hci_usb                16000  2
bluetooth              52100  6 l2cap,hci_usb
ehci_hcd               32644  0
uhci_hcd               33680  0
usbcore               115040  5 hci_usb,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

Do I need more to use  the BT Serial Port Profile on serverside with no 
problems?

Thanks Johannes
