PS4 Pairing BT

Post by pyro90294 »

Is there any way to pair over bluetooth with the PS4 without having a Teensy USB or AVR USB adapter?

It should be possible but no one has done it yet.
Sadly my motivation and free time are not high enough to work on it.

First step is to make a HCI UART sniffer like this: http://blog.gimx.fr/hci-uart-sniffer/
Once the sniffer works, unpair the ds4, start a capture, and pair it again over bluetooth.
The capture will show the commands sent to the bluetooth chip.
Then figure out what commands have to be sent to the Linux kernel.
Using hcidump may be helpful to replicate the pairing procedure.
In the GIMX source code, the bluetooth security commands are in the following file:
