I have the Bluetopia v1.4 stack running using a PAN1325 & MSP430F5438A.

I can see the device using Windows 10. The device reports a successful pairing.

However I don't see any SPP virtual com ports in the Windows Bluetooth settings screen.

I presume Windows would ask the stack for the supported services and add in the SPP COM

ports. If you attempt to add them manually no device is shown as per the attached screen shot ?

To answer my own question, it did actually work. I can get an "Incoming" and "Outgoing" port in Windows 10. You need to add the server prior to pairing then

all works. Adding a server after the pairing process doesn't seem to work but I can live with that.
