How to create a Bluetooth device in the device

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hello, everyone!
Am3517 platform, I would like to test the Bluetooth driver is easy to use, in menuconfig, I set up Bluetooth, but the dev did not create a Bluetooth device, a hci0 sys / class / bluetooth, I try I inserted at the hub Bluetooth on the Vid and Pid the added btusb_table, but still no. What is the reason, the device registration problem? I use a bluetooth usb adapter. Related with the usb driver?

  • We have not tested usb-bluetooth dongle with the TI android devkit, but it may be possible after some changes in the sources.

    You may wish to refer to the following post at our rowboat community forum (the post relates to Froyo, we believe similar changes may be needed for later versions):

    Also, could you post the 'dmesg' output after you attached the bluetooth dongle? This would help us in debugging this.

  • Hi,

    Is there any update on making the USB Bluetooth dongle work on Beagleboard-xm Rev-C running Android 2.3.4 DevKit 2.1?

    Could anybody please run me through the steps to set this up?

    Thanks in advance,

    Nikhil

  • I have installed Android 2.3.4 as well as 4.0 on beagleboard xm rev C.

    both work okay with ethernet.

    now I wish to add blue tooth and wifi and test with3G data card.

    Adding blue tooth dongle, appropriate message comes on serial monitor. However there is no hciconfig or hcitool command.

    help me add blue tooth.

    And in case any one need support on running 2.3.4 or 4.0, you are welcome.

    Vinay,

    What message do you see on the serial terminal? 

    I'm struck at the same point. The hciconfig & hcitool commands dont work!

    Could you please update this thread if you find any progress?

    Thanks,

    Nikhil

  • USB-based bluetooth is not supported with TI Android DevKit sources. You probably have to make some modifications in the sources for that.

    We suggest you google around for possible suggestions or ask at our rowboat community forum: http://groups.google.com/group/rowboat
