bt dongle

[kefcom]

Hey all,

I'm having a bit of issues with my bt dongle. I suspect it's not a 'real' CSR8510.
on this page (https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Bluetooth_dongle) I read that there is a program called gimx-bluetooth to check this. However I can't seem to find that program

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

After installing GIMX, type in a terminal:

Code: Select all

hcirevision hci0

Expected result:

Code: Select all

	Chip version: CSR8510

Thanks man,

it's telling me it can't read version info for hci0: network is down (100).
gimx launcher bt pairing doesn't show the manufacturer anymore, it used to tho'. It said cambridge silicon radio ltd.

I'll take a look at it later, but progress is happening for sure

Thanks for the support

Try to unplug and replug it.

nah, tried it many times, even rebooted.

hah, so it IS a csr8510 for some reason bt is dissabled at boot. After I used /etc/init.d/bluetooth start it was showing up.
So now I got to work on making sure bt is enabled at boot. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
