Bluez drivers compilation: 90% done

[hugo]

Hi,

I've been trying to get my bluetooth CSR dongle to work on the Asus Wl-HDD (I know this is not the right forum, but this is of interest for any user of this firmware) and I'm using uclibc to make it work on Oleg's latest firmware (1.8.1.7-3)

I have already compiled libusb, and the necessary package for bluez (lib and tools). Programs are working, but I need to get hci_usb.o module to compile.

I've been enabling Bluez=m and USB_bluetooth=m in .config for the kernel. The only file I get in return is bluetooth.o which is not working for CSR. I don't find any option to get the ..../linux/drivers/bluetooth/hci_usb.c to compile. Of course, I might try to use a hand made build command, but I never compiled kernel modules without a full makefile.

This is the last stone to get this stack working. Applying the kernel patch for 2.4.20 kernel from bluez website give some errors, including in the hci_usb.c file, so I decided not to use them.

Could anybody give me the last push to make this working? I think the PAN profile could be working with this stack. I just need the hci_usb.o file and the necessary instruction to get it.

Thanks


EDIT: Done it. I'll post the Wiki page later on. Here is the tarball for bluez. a sample bluez script is at root, but it's not fully working. Just need to change a few thinks. Any PAN how to will show you how to end this script. I(ve been testing succesfully with my Ipaq, and i'll post more on this later.

Hi Hugo,

I have already compiled the tools and modules for bluez. Take a look at
this thread.

Thanks dex for your binary. It was the missing link. May I ask you how you managed to compile the kernel modules? I think I'll create a wiki page for the tutorial because this is an interesting project.

I'll post my binary also, because I've been compiling all the other tools from bluez, so it can be of interest for some.

My purpose was at the begining to get hid2hci working for my dongle, to use affix stack. But it ended up to be compiled wholly.

Hello hugo,

to compile the bluez module hci_usb.o you have to use the kernel option:

Bluetooth Support -> Bluetooth device drivers -> <M> HCI USB driver (-> hci_usb.o)

The option USB Support -> USB Bluetooth Support must be disabled. The module bluetooth.o
can't be used with the bluez protocol stack.

I got an error message after applying the latest bluez kernel patch too. Therefore I build
the modules from the original WL-HDD GPL v1.1.2.6 and until now my applications using
the bluez protocol stack are running fine. The only problem I recognize is that the WL-HDD
does not recognize the USB Bluetooth dongle (Acer BT 600) at all. I don't know what the
problem is, but I realized that this situation only happens after 10 minutes the WL-HDD is
running and when the device is warm. I assume it's an hardware problem.

That would be a terrific contribution, thanks in advance.

[hugo]

First post edited. Is it possible to change the title in today posts?

[Oleg]

Hugo, tarball means something produced with tar, not with rar. Your attachments looks like a rarball.

[hugo]

Hum, it was a tarball until I realised the upload limit was set to 1 Meg

[hugo]

Sorry, my release contains in the bin folder curl and l2send from dex binary. They can be removed if you just need bluez, as they are not a reult from my compilation.

@hugo
thx for your answer in the other thread. i think its better to go ahead in this one...

did you already working on a readme for the wiki?
or can you give me just a small tutorial how i have to install the BlueZ stack on my wl500g(fw:1.9.2.7-3b) ?! that will be very nice. thx a lot...

[hugo]

Sorry xelephant, I don't have much time tonight

Here is the script I use to set up pan:

insmod /tmp/hd/conf/lib/bluez.o
insmod /tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/hci_usb.o
insmod /tmp/hd/conf/lib/l2cap.o
insmod /tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/bnep.o
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/tmp/hd/conf/usr/lib'
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/sbin/sdpd
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/sbin/hcid
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/bin/sdptool add NAP
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/bin/sdptool add DUN
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/bin/pand --listen --role NAP
/tmp/hd/bluetooth/result/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up

Please set export line to your lib path (the one for bluetooth in my tarball) and all other line to your path to this files.

You can then take your PPC and go to network settings to set up an ip adress for your PPC. Use 10.0.0.2 and netmask 255.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.1 as gateway and dns server.create a bluetooth network. Once connected, use ifconfig pan0 10.0.0.1 and test pinging 10.0.0.2

Please check using ifconfig the name pan0 as I'm not sure and not enough time to check.

You can make this automatic, using some files, and I'll post more about this later on.

[hugo]

For automatic step ifconfig and all, create a file
/tmp/etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up

with the following code:

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $1 10.0.0.1

Don't forget to set up bluetooth IP adress on pocket pc using settings -network-bluetooth pan driver

hi hugo,

thx for the answer and help. sorry that i reply so late, but time is rare .

i tried so you describe above but i think it is not working. see yourself:

[root@myrouter bluetooth]$ ./bluez
No devices in HCI mode found
Using /tmp/harddisk/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/bluez.o
Using /tmp/harddisk/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/hci_usb.o
Using /tmp/harddisk/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/l2cap.o
Using /tmp/harddisk/bluetooth/result/lib/modules/bnep.o
NAP service registered
interface bnep0 does not exist!

i 'm not a linux genius, but i think i have to setup the interface bnpe0 right(how?)? furthermore i think bluez didn't find my bt stick, because of "no devices in hci...". but i think my device (MSI pc2pc MS-6967) must be supportet. it was running well with suse linux 9.1 and bluez stack.

if i try to send a file to the router, my ppc found it but i can't send any files.
do i have to send up the profiles (e.g. pan, pim etc ?)

thx for your help...

the router interface tells me the following:

do i have to copy the etc files to the root/etc/bluetooth folder?

[hugo]

Don't worry for the HCI not found, this is a special trick to make my Dlink work, as it boot up in HID mode.

You can even remove this line.

Your problem is in the syslog: the hcid.conf config file must exist in /etc/bluetooth

It should then run fine. The bnep0 interface is created when you connect using your BT device. It won't exist before that. But the error you get is because the hcid is not running.

After the initial connection, the ppp script is readen to set up the ip.
