Bluetooth Keyboard

[michiil]

Hey guys,
i have searched the forum but didn't find anything helpfull so:
is the a way to connect a bluetooth keyboard on picore 7?

Thanks in advance

WOW - That 's what I would like to have also. I spent days to get Bluetooth working on a Cubietruck. It turned out to be hell on earth for me.
I suggest to study how it can be done with Raspian on the Raspberry PI.
There is a lot of information out there. Google keywords "Raspian linux bluetootht Cubieboard aso) I assume it needs to be done via command line.

I am just now building bluez. So i am pretty close to getting this working (:
I hope i will manage to build a tcz Package for everyone else to download (:

I like that - good luck with the pairing 

[michiil]

Well its not as easy as i thougt..
I could build and install bluez, but when i try to start bluetoothctl it gets stuck and when i abort with ctrl+c i get the following error:

Code: [Select]

[bluetooth]#
process 6321: arguments to dbus_connection_unref() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 2821.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted

I guess i have to try a little more..

EDIT:
Okay after manually starting dbus (sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start) bluetoothctl doesn't give an error anymore, but its till stuck.. I have read that this is properly because bleutootd is not running..
The problem is: how do i get it runnign?

[michiil]

Getting there:
when i am starting the bluetoothd i get:
bluetoothd[7057]: Bluetooth daemon 5.37
bluetoothd[7057]: Starting SDP server
bluetoothd[7057]: Bluetooth management interface 1.9 initialized
bluetoothd[7057]: Failed to obtain handles for "Service Changed" characteristic

maxbe someone knowns what to do?

[Juanito]

I get this (on corepure64):

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -n
bluetoothd[30609]: Bluetooth daemon 5.28
bluetoothd[30609]: Starting SDP server

bluetoothd[30609]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.67 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSink
If you use "bluetoothd -nd" you'll get verbose output, which might help

[michiil]

with -nd i get this:

If bluetoothd didn't exit it might be OK - did you try to pair with something?

[michiil]

It seems to work anyway (:
I startet bleutoothd in another ssh session so i could pair in mine (:

Code: [Select]

[bluetooth]# pair 00:04:20:F2:46:E6

Okay i need some help with the tcz file..
i habe built it but i think i have some permission error..

Code: [Select]

start-stop-daemon: can't execute '/usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd': Permission denied


What permissions and owner should i have on the different files?

[Juanito]

Did you start/stop bluetoothd as root?

[michiil]

I took the init.d script from the x86_64 bluez plugin and modified it a bit.. (only the path of bluetoothd really)

Code: [Select]

tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ sudo cat /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37
#!/bin/sh

start() {
  if [ ! -f /var/run/dbus/bluez_flag ]; then
    /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus restart
    touch /var/run/dbus/bluez_flag
  fi
  if ! pidof bluetoothd >/dev/null; then
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd & 2>/dev/null
  fi
}

stop() {
  start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd 2>/dev/null
  sleep 2
}

status() {
  if pidof bluetoothd >/dev/null; then
    echo -e "\nbluetoothd is running.\n"
    exit 0
  else
    echo -e "\nbluetoothd is not running.\n"
    exit 1
  fi
}

case $1 in
  start) start
    ;;
  stop) stop
    ;;
  status) status
    ;;
  restart) stop; start
    ;;
  *) echo -e "\n$0 [start|stop|restart|status]\n"
    ;;
esac

I tried some commands to start it manually:

Code: [Select]

tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37 start
-sh: /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37: Permission denied
tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37 start
sudo: /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37: command not found
tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ sudo sh /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37 start
tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ start-stop-daemon: can't execute '/usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd': Permission denied

I am used to debian so i wanted to use service but its not aviable on tinycore so whats the right way to start a init.d script manually?

Also the permissions if it helps:

Code: [Select]

tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ ls -lsa /usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/
total 0
     0 drwxr-xr-x    2 tc       staff           80 Jan 15 20:45 ./
     0 drwxr-xr-x    4 tc       staff          120 Jan 15 20:44 ../
     0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            61 Jan 15 21:00 bluetoothd -> /tmp/tcloop/bluez-5.37/usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd
     0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            56 Jan 15 21:00 obexd -> /tmp/tcloop/bluez-5.37/usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/obexd


[Juanito]

The command should be:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start..and you can also use the control panel services gui

It looks like you have a typo somewhere?

[michiil]

Success!

Code: [Select]

tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ tce-load -i bluez-5.37.tcz
created directory: '/usr/local/etc/bluetooth'
'/usr/local/share/bluez-5.37/files/main.conf' -> '/usr/local/etc/bluetooth/main.conf'

tc@Wohnzimmer:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez-5.37 start
no /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon found; none killed
rm: can't remove '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory

I just adjusted all permissions according to the wiki (:

Thanks a lot for your help (:
