Hi Tobias,

At your institute we are also trying to use an axis devboard to 
experiment with bluetooth applications. One of the primary goals is to 
get Bluez running on the board

I suppose you mean that you made the Kernel USB-ready for a USB 
Bluettooth adapter?

To my knowledge (and according to axis) there is no straightforward way 
to do this. The libs, I got to compile, but they do you no good all by 
themselves. I for my part have tried to autocompile the libs, utils etc 
with no luck for axis (using command-line lib invocation, config.site an 
shell parameters the way Marcel suggests). The only way I have found to 
work is to manually write a makefile from scratch which will then 
compile hciattach, hcitool...
hcid poses a problem because of the need for ybison to parse the conf file.
At this point the trouble is to get these things to compile using the 
axis top-level makefile so that the binaries may be flashed to the board 
and be used as applications

greets, Eric

this must be a bug. What kernel do you use? Maybe it is some Axis OpenBT
specific cruft of the Cris architecture. If so, it must be removed and
patches are welcome.

Marcel

This only relates to the kernel sources within the axis devboard=20
developer environment. It seems to me, that this is wanted, because Axis=20
  are aware of it, since one of their developers pointed me there.

Tobias' description of the solution is also what I had to do. Speaking=20
of which: Tobias, how did you find the solution?

On an different note, Tobias pointed me to another person who is trying=20
to get a similar hardware config to work. His config freezes up upon=20
doing a hcitool scan (inq works fine). I am using a USB and a serial=20
Bluetooth interface. USB freezes on scan, the serial one doesn't. They=20
are both CSR HCI 16.4

Any Ideas?
