Has anyone used a Bluetooth USB Dongle with any of the boards running Android? I have tried a Broadcom one but the OS does not see it. It get reported on the debug output but no drivers are loaded. I do have the Bluetooth drivers included in the kernel.
How did you go about including the Bluetooth drivers. I have a similar issue with a TI dongle, the debug output reports the dongle but it doesn't get attached to the Bluetooth option on the device. I did read some articles for the panda board which used hciconfig to bring up the device. I alter options in the boardconfig.mk however the image doesn't change size. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. You would think Bluetooth would be a popular option. # hciconfig hci0 up # hciconfig -a
Hi Matt, I used make menuconfig and went through the configuration to include all the Bluetooth drivers.
Hi Dave, That's for the kernel config. As far as I can tell its changes to the Android image that we require. I have edited the BoardConfigCommon.mk file in the androidxxxx/devices/friendlyarm folder and changed the line BOARD_HAVE_BLUETOOTH := true but to no avail. What ever I change in the BoardConfigCommon.mk doesn't appear to have any effect. The created ramdisk-u.img is always the same size. From what I have read you need to change :- BOARD_HAVE_BLUETOOTH := true BOARD_BLUETOOTH_BDROID_BUILDCFG_INCLUDE_DIR := device/generic/common/bluetooth in the BoardConfig file. This supposedly doesn't work so well with the dongle chipset I am using as it's ti and doesn't have the supported power on/ off method. I have a tiny4412 board currently. Thanks Matt
