Hi, All.
I'm working UART(RS-232C) Bluetooth device on i.MX53 Android Platform.
I tried to enable Bluetooth via configuration panel but didn't make it.
To use Bluetooth devices, is there any configuration needed against i.MX Android Package before building image?

hum.... I´m confused.
kernel only recongnize device after hciattach? Before that is there none message?
I was searching around and I found a lot of people working with bluetooth dongle with android uper that 1.6 without any special procedure.
Is there any clue on your logcat?

Hi Daiane,
I've found that a command "hciattach" was required to make the kernel recognize the device.
This command was successful on the PC Linux and Ubuntu i.mx53. But I didn't make it on Android platform.
This might be because the specified device was incorrect. I guess that is "ttymxcX".
Do you know what device the serial port is regarded as?
Best Regards,
Takashi Kawamoto

oh. First step is your devices being recognized by kernel.
Connect you device on some PC, and see what´s the dmesg message for it.
Then, try to configure kernel to regocnize the same. You will need to be sure kernel version used can support it.

Even the above option was added to BoardConfig.mk, Bluetooth could not be enabled with configuration panel.
I have no idea what to do further...

I´m guessing, but I believe you will need to include support for it on BoardConfig.mk (inside device/fsl).
I suppose kernel has support for your device.
