Bluetooth paring not working

jemish_1990 — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 09:49:10 GMT

Hi All,

We are using WL18XX TiWilink module in our project with IMX6Q based customized board.

To make WL18XX module working we followed steps suggested on "Step-by-step: How to setup TI Wilink (WL18xx) with iMX6 Linux 3.10.53 " . By following steps suggested on this link we are able to make Wifi and Bluetooth module working. We are able to make "hci0" interface up and scanning working.

The problem is after scanning nearby devices we are not able to pair/connect that device with bluetooth of our board.

Is there any packages/utilities available to make it working?

Our end use case is to make bluetooth audio working but before that we need to pair it first.

As this project is crucial stage to finalize board layout only verification of Bluetooth audio is remaining thing.

Any suggestion for this issue will be appreciated. Please let me know if any information required from my side.

Thanks,

Jemish

Hi igor,

I am sure that it is not firmware issue. Because I am able to make interface up and and scan near by devices.

The issue is with TI's recommended Bluetooth Stack which has few hard codings according to their kernel.

Because of this it always shows Device in Power down state. I have already posted query on ti e2e community.

I am discussing this issue with them.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/wilink_wifi_bluetooth/f/307/p/497409/1800727#1800727

Meanwhile can you provide steps / documentation for open source bluetooth stack which I can try to make pairing working.

Thanks,

Jemish
