[Bluez-devel] Asynchronous inquiry

[Bluez-devel] Asynchronous inquiry

[Simon Siemens]

Is there a way, to do an asynchronous inquiry. I only know the
hci_inquiry function, which gives you a complete list of the found
devices. For two projects (a GUI and a research project) I would like to
present each device as soon as it has been found. Is it possible to have
some kind of notification each time a device sends the inquiry response
message? (Something like multi-processing / multi-threading)?

Currently I work with a maximum response count of 1 in hci_inquiry, but
this is not helpful in any case.

Thanks for your help,

Simon

you can either use the HCI raw socket directly or use the new D-Bus
based API. I would propose you use the D-Bus API. An example might
follow in the next couple of days in the bluez-gnome CVS repository.

Sounds very good. Could you please announce this, if it is ready? Or
will there simply be a new bluez-gnome package on your website?

Do I need a new BlueZ version to use this? I currently have Ubuntu 6.06
LTS with BlueZ 2.24. This seems (compared to your website) very
outdated. Does anyone know why? Will I have trouble installing
bluez-libs-3.4 and bluez-utils-3.4?

Thanks very much for your help.

Simon

there will be new version and of course an announcement on the BlueZ
announce mailing list.

Yes. You need the 3.x generation. However if you follow the configure
instructions from the README file, then there you be no problem with
installing version 3.4 on a Ubuntu Dapper system.

However maybe someone is volunteering to build Unbuntu Dapper packages
for the 3.x generation. Hint, hint.

Marcel
