Hi Make and Rick,
Thanks for the replies.
I have tried (3) BT dongles with the i.MX53 QSB. (2) of the dongles give me the device descriptor read/64, error -71 when plugged in. The third BT dongle does not give me a USB error. However, the third BT dongle still gives me nothing when I try hcitool dev to see if any local BT devices are connected. So something is still wrong.
I have installed the BlueZ bluetooth protocol included with LTIB. In addition, I have compiled the BT HCI USB Driver into the kernel. I am not 100% sure if this driver will actually work with any of the dongles.
All (3) of the dongles seem to be recognized by the USB interface. Here is a sample lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001
I am trying to figure out if this is a USB problem, BT problem, or both.
