Hi everyone!
Yes, I finally have tested sending from my phone to my
PC via Bluetooth through the help of Max.
1. Plug MSI Bluetooth dongle in your PC's USB port.
2. Start the bluetooth device.
#/etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0
3. Start the sdpd server
#sdpd
4. Start the obexapp server
#obexapp -s -S -C 10 -u misoy -r /home/misoy/bluetooth
NOTE:
- make sure /home/misoy/bluetooth is permission to
misoy
- to start all bluetooth processes, i wrote a program
below
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "\Starting bluetooth device...";
system("/etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0 &");
print "\nStarting the sdpd...";
system("sdpd &");
print "\nStarting the obexapp server...";
system("bexapp -s -S -C 10 -u misoy -r
/home/misoy/bluetooth &");
Using the Perl script above, just plug-in the dongle
and run the script.
To transfer from phone to PC, it's easy, just initiate
transfer it will send to that directory in ur PC.
To transfer from PC to phone, just run obexapp as
client as shown below:
%obexapp -a misoy -C OPUSH
(obexapp --h for help)
To stop bluetooth system:
1. Stop bluetooth device
misoy#/etc/rc.bluetooth stop ubt0
2. Stop sdpd
misoy# ps ax | grep sdpd
695 ?? Is 0:00.00 sdpd
misoy# kill -9 695
3. Stop the obexapp
isoy# ps ax | grep obexapp
730 ?? Is 0:00.00 obexapp -s -S -C 10 -u misoy
-r /home/misoy/bluetooth
misoy# kill -9 730
So, when I login to my FreeBSD and after plugging-in
the dongle, I just command:
misoy# ./startBluetooth.pl
Starting bluetooth device...
Starting the sdpd...
Starting the obexapp server...misoy# BD_ADDR:
00:0c:76:9a:36:6c
Features: 0xff 0xff 0xf 00 00 00 00 00
<3-Slot> <5-Slot> <Encryption> <Slot offset>
<Timing accuracy> <Switch> <Hold mode> <Sniff mode>
<Park mode> <RSSI> <Channel quality> <SCO link>
<HV2 packets> <HV3 packets> <u-law log> <A-law log>
<CVSD>
<Paging scheme> <Power control> <Transparent SCO data>
Max. ACL packet size: 192 bytes
Number of ACL packets: 8
Max. SCO packet size: 64 bytes
Number of SCO packets: 8
These are the summary of commands:
1. Starting bluetooth device
# /etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0
2. Starting sdpd server
# sdpd
3. Starting the obexapp server
# obexapp -s -S -C 10 -u misoy -r
/home/misoy/bluetooth
4. Starting obexapp as client
% obexapp -a misoy -C OPUSH
5. Browsing bluetooth services of a device
# sdpcontrol -l browse
6. Discovering other bluetooth devices
# hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry
7. Knowing the name of device
# hccontrol -n ubt0hci remote_name_request
00:10:60:a6:32:02
8. Giving a permanent name for devices
(/etc/bluetooth/hosts)
9. Knowing the present bluetooth connections in the
localhost
# hccontrol -n ubt0hci read_connection_list
- gives a connections handle etc.
10. Killing a connection handle
# hccontrol -n ubt0hci disconnect 41
11. Pinging if host is up
# l2ping -a 00:80:37:29:19:a4
12. Knowing the logical connections and baseband
connections in localhost
# l2control -a 00:02:72:00:d4:1a read_channel_list
# l2control -a 00:02:72:00:d4:1a read_connection_list
# btsockstat
13. Pairing local FreeBSD and remote bluetooth device
# vi /usr/local/etc/hcsecd.conf
device {
bdaddr 00:80:37:29:19:a4;
name "Pav's T39";
key nokey;
pin "1234";
}
# hcsecd -d -f /usr/local/etc/hcsecd.conf
(will prompt for pin in your device)
14. Discovering what services available for a
bluetooth device
- sdpcontrol -a 00:60:57:b6:f7:b1 browse
- gives Obex (file transer), Dial-up (accessing ISP
via phone) or LAN PPP
(accesing internet via dial-up to local FreeBSD)
-known services
- sdpcontrol -a 00:60:57:b6:f7:b1 search
Known service names
===================
CIP - Common ISDN Access
CTP - Cordless Telephony
DUN - DialUp Networking
FAX - Fax
FTRN - OBEX File Transfer
GN - GN
HID - Human Interface Device
HSET - Headset
LAN - LAN Access Using PPP
NAP - Network Access Point
OPUSH - OBEX Object Push
SP - Serial Port
15. checking if your device supports LAN Access using
PPP
# sdpcontrol -a 00:60:57:b6:f7:b1 search LAN
Thank you very much!!!
