BlueZ Supported Profiles

BlueZ Supported Profiles

[bluezprofile kernel]

Hi,
I would like to know what are all profiles supported by BlueZ?
Is there any site gives list of profiles supported by BlueZ?
I am using BlueZ 4.46.

Hi,
you can see the provided services with the command:
# sdptool browse BTADDR

Get the BTADDR from the output of:
# hcitool scan

Run these command from another Linux box.

BlueZ is modular, so it depends on which plugins you have enabled.
Also some profiles like a2dp and hfp depend on others components such
as PulseAudio to really work, so the answer is not that simple.
Perhaps you should ask what profiles you want so we can give a more
direct answer, in general we support most profiles used by desktops
and phones.

You can do the very same think locally:
# sdptool browse local

Hi,

"sdptool browse local" command will only show currently registered services and this list may not be exhaustive. 
The actual list of supported services can be seen from manpage of sdptool. Search for a list of keywords-
OPUSH,SP,KEYB,AVRTG etc.  You can try adding all of those services one by one and see if they are 
registered without any errors in local database.

However, mere successful registration of service in local database doesn't mean a certain
Profile is activated and working in the host. So, you can depend on service registration
process for only a hint.

Thanks for the propt replies.

As for as I know BlueZ will support

A2DP, AVRCP, HS, HF, FTP, OPP, DUN, HID profiles.

and protocols GAP, SDP, AVDTP, AVCTP, RFCOMM, BNEP, L2CAP.

sdptool gives set of services. All the services implemented in BlueZ?
What is the version of each service/profile implemented in BlueZ?

Specially I would like to know details for the following profiles

GOEP - Generic Object Exchange Profile
HCRP - Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile
HDP - Health Device Profile
MAP - Message Access Profile
PBAP - Phone Book Access Profile
SYNC - Synchronization Profile
SyncML - Multi Sync
VDP - Video Distribution Profile

You just missed PAN profile :D

I don't remember the exactly version of each profile, but that gives
you an explanation why:

http://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=15706

You can check other qualification, they may list what version the
qualification is about.

Those are not implemented yet.

> SyncML - Multi Sync

PBAP is implemented as a plugin of obexd, SyncML is not really
supported directly by BlueZ but there are another projects such as
opensync that aim to support it.

> VDP - Video Distribution Profile

Another one not implemented, but it should be easy to support it as it
uses avdtp, although Im not sure if streaming a video over bluetooth
is really practical right now besides that I never saw a device which
implements VDP.
