Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v2 0/4] Bearer.LE1: Add ReadRSSI
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 21:14:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113051438.75230-1-kevin@simpleble.org> (raw)

This adds ReadRSSI to Bearer.LE1 as a testing method, for diagnostics
and production testing, as discussed on v1 [1]. It is only available
when D-Bus testing interfaces are enabled, with bluetoothd -T or
Testing = true in main.conf.

Each call sends Get Connection Information, which the kernel answers
from the controller or with the value it read in the last 1 to 3
seconds. A call made right after Connect returns fails with NotReady
until the kernel has read the remote features.

Changes in v2:
- Make ReadRSSI a testing method and mark it [testing] in the
  documentation.
- Enable testing interfaces on one host in the functional test, and
  check that the other host does not export ReadRSSI.
- Rebase on master.

Tested with the functional test on bluetooth-next 3f425f95ba39, and on
an RTL8761BU connected to an nRF52840. With -T, ReadRSSI returned
-48 dBm; without it, the method was not exported.
