I didn't find the example you referenced but I have managed to initiate a periodic scan, to read some events and to stop the scan. Some things I noticed however, for instance that when I ran my app twice a little time-shifted the second process didn't get any events once the first process was finished. Can I avoid this somehow? Currently I am catching the EVT_CMD_COMPLETE event for OCF_EXIT_PERIODIC_INQUIRY and restarting the search, but as I am not getting an event for the start of the periodic inquiry that I could process it would seem that if I do e.g. a 3 second period inquiry and during my scan afterwards someone else does e.g. a 30 second period inquiry then it will change this on a global level so that I do not get my results as expected? Regarding the multitude of events, how do I distinguish between the inquiry_info_with_rssi and inquiry_info_with_rssi_and_pscan_mode structs? They appear to be using the same event but would be incompatible due to the "inserted" pscan_mode member. Currently I am testing with an HCI 1.1 device and getting only the inquiry_info struct. Which of the other inquiry+RSSI events map to which HCI version? Is inquiry_info_with_rssi HCI 1.2 and extended_inquiry_info HCI 2.0? Or do these responses depend on anything else? Oh, and is it not possible to send HCI commands as a non-root user? We were getting EPERM from hci_send_cmd and had to setup a Linux box solely for this purpose so that I could be root - admins wouldn't allow that on the other University machines, and I'm concerned whether our potential users would all be able to run our software as root...
