Bluetooth Problem

[IBanc]

Hi,

I was trying to connect from an android app to Edison via bluetooth, just like Arduino and send some text. But when i am trying to connect edison disconnects me right away (android says connection lost).

bluetoothctl output:

1. [CHG] Device C0:EE:FB:43:9D:73 Connected: yes
2. [CHG] Device C0:EE:FB:43:9D:73 Connected: no

Hello Iosif,

When you get the output: 1. [CHG] Device C0:EE:FB:43:9D:73 Connected: yes 2. [CHG] Device C0:EE:FB:43:9D:73 Connected: noWhat steps did you take? What exactly did you do both on the Edison and the Android device?Peter.

[IBanc]

I followed exactly those steps.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/connecting-the-intel-edison-board-to-your-android-phone-wi... IoT - Connecting the Intel® Edison board to your Android* Phone with Serial Port Profile (SPP) | Intel® Developer Zone

The error is visible in bluetoothctl when trying to connect from Android. Bluetooth Advanced Tools SPP app used in the tutorial is not able to see the device at all. So i have my own app which is working with HC-05 on Arduino. Also i tried many apps on Android with the same result. I also created a com port on my Windows PC and tried to open the Arduino IDE console and monitor the port. When trying to connect i get Unable to open communication PORT.

Managed to connect from my windows machine on the same port to Arduino HC-05 also.

Thanks!

Could try the steps found in https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-100754 https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-100754? What happens? Does the Edison still have issues connecting?

Peter.

[IBanc]

The same... Already tried

These are the steps I took to connect my Edison to a Nexus 5:

rfkill unblock bluetooth

bluetoothctlscan on# Found devicescan offpair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XXtrust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XXconnect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

As you can see in the screenshot bellow the connection was successful:

try to connect from Nexus 5 to Edison and please tell me if it works....

so don't type connect MAC, try to connect from your smartphone using an app like SPP Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.dzs.android.BLE_SPP_PRO Bluetooth spp tools pro - Android Apps on Google Play - the one intel uses in theyr bluetooth video tutorials and not only.

[idata]

These are the steps I took:

On Edison:

rfkill unblock bluetooth

bluetoothctlagent DisplayYesNodefault-agentpairable ondiscoverable on*Say yes to the permission requests

On Nexus 5:

Find phone, pair and connect.

Hi,

Like this it is working on mine to (connecting from settings) but please try from any Serial Profile App, like in this video

https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/connecting-bluetooth-devices-to-your-intel-edison https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/connecting-bluetooth-devices-to-your-intel-edison

Also attached the log bellow

Ps. Peter can I have your Skype in a PM? Maybe we can do a share screen to show you! Also is it possible that my Edison is faulty (a better way to say it, is it possible mine to have a faulty BT module)?

Thanks!

I found the BIG PROBLEM, and it is a big one!

It's a software image 3.0 bug. Flashed 2.1 "edison-iotdk-image-280915" and worked using tutorial.

Please try what i told you and tell me if you have the bug that i had in 1.7.3.

EDIT: Managed to port the SPP Protocol from prev build to the latest and with some code changes regarding the way bluez and kernel are opening port for serial com and closing it. In my case it was more about a handshake error. Because the handshakeing was not completed successfully, kernel and bluez were closing the port (service and connection also) doing to TIMEOUT on the connection.

Thank You!

Hi losif,

I just tested it on both the current image and the previous image, and I believe I'm seeing the same behavior as you. I can establish the SPP connection on the previous version (159.devkit) but not on the current one (3.0).Let me see what I can find out about this, in the meantime I'd suggest you to go back to the previous image to continue with your project. Peter.

[IBanc]

Already back on prev. build. Also i played with bluez and changed few things. It's working perfectly on this build. Of course I would like to see it fixed in next builds.

If you want, you can mark it as answered.

Thank You!

Hello losif,

I have an update for this issue. You can try the following workaround to fix it on the latest image:On the latest image (Yocto 3.5), enter the command:opkg install --force-reinstall http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/3.5/iotdk/edison/core2-32/bluez5_5.37-r0_core2-32.ipkAlso, I've been informed that this issue is in consideration for a future release of Edison software, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.Let me know how it goes.-Peter.
