thank you for your reply!

I have tried your FreeBSD-BLE already :)

The question is: do you have plans to support keyboards?

best regards,
Dmitry

To recognize LE device.<br>
1. scan LE device and think<br>
2. invoke ./lepair ${BTHADDR} (-r option required if address is random addr=

3. add hcsecd.conf in lesecd directory by copy-n-paste from lepair output.<=

4. ./lesecd <br>
3. in lehid directory, lehid -s ${BTADDR}<br>

Then keyboard may be recoginzed, but will not do useful thing.<br>
