WL1837MOD: HCI Vendor Specific Commands in Linux

Nishka Rao

Part Number: WL1837MOD

Hi Wifi Team,

Looking through the HCI User Guide, I wanted to use the HCI_VS_DRPb_Set_Power_Vector command on the linux host (AM57x). However, the user guide only shows how to implement the tools using the windows HCITester tool

Is there a linux command line function to use the HCI vendor specific commands?

How would I go about using that function on my Linux Host?

Thanks!

Hi Nishka,

That would depend on which bluetooth stack you are using on the linux host. For Example if you are using the BluetopiaPM stack that we offer for Linux distributions.

You can use SS1Tool to send HCI commands

If you use something like BlueZ you can use HCItool to send the HCI commands

Here is the testing guide that gives examples on how to use either tool.
