I have built 5.30 on a Raspberry PI 2 running raspbian wheezy. Here's the configure command that I used (arrived at by experimentation and Googling for various build problems I encountered): LDFLAGS=-lrt ./configure --disable-systemd --enable-experimental --enable-maintainer-mode The hci tools seem to work as expected. Also btgatt-client works - I am able to connect to a BLE heart rate monitor and I see the HR related services. However, btgatt-server does not seem to do anything, but no errors reported either. I'm running it like this: sudo ./btgatt-server -r and get this as the only output: Started listening on ATT channel. Waiting for connections I'm assuming that I should be seeing this advertising when I run hcitool lescan? I don't see anything. Also btmon shows no activity when I run btgatt-server. Additionally, if I try to run bluetoothd, I get the following output which doesn't look good! sudo ./bluetoothd -nE bluetoothd[19968]: Bluetooth daemon 5.30 bluetoothd[19968]: Starting SDP server bluetoothd[19968]: Bluetooth management interface 1.7 initialized bluetoothd[19968]: Failed to obtain handles for "Service Changed" characteristic bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service bluetoothd[19968]: Error adding Link Loss service bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service bluetoothd[19968]: Current Time Service could not be registered bluetoothd[19968]: gatt-time-server: Input/output error (5) bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service I've done plenty of googling and not finding anything useful, so I'm hoping that someone here will have some insight.

Nope, btgatt-server doesn't configure anything related to advertising; it simply sets up and attaches a GATT server to a listening L2CAP socket on the ATT channel. So you need to set up advertising separately, e.g. by running 'btmgmt advertising on' or 'btmgmt add-adv'. Note that you usually don't want to run btgatt-server while bluetoothd is running since they will interfere with eachother. > > > Additionally, if I try to run bluetoothd, I get the following output > which doesn't look good! > > > sudo ./bluetoothd -nE > > bluetoothd[19968]: Bluetooth daemon 5.30 > bluetoothd[19968]: Starting SDP server > bluetoothd[19968]: Bluetooth management interface 1.7 initialized > bluetoothd[19968]: Failed to obtain handles for "Service Changed" characteristic > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > bluetoothd[19968]: Error adding Link Loss service > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > bluetoothd[19968]: Current Time Service could not be registered > bluetoothd[19968]: gatt-time-server: Input/output error (5) > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > bluetoothd[19968]: Not enough free handles to register service > We really need to clean these up. Basically bluetoothd fails to register all the experimental local services since we changed the internal plumbing to the new shared stack. Fwiw these are all plugins that we are deprecating and the actual local GATT server will work regardless. Also, if you want the daemon running, I suggest using the GATT D-Bus API for hosting your own services. > > I've done plenty of googling and not finding anything useful, so I'm > hoping that someone here will have some insight. > > Thanks, Neil > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Thanks!

So you need to set up advertising > separately, e.g. by running 'btmgmt advertising on' or 'btmgmt > add-acv'. Got it. Thanks for pointing me at btmgmt - I wasn't aware of that tool. I did try the btmgmt advertising commands without success and I wonder if you could answer a few questions on this. 1) Seems like I needed to issue a 'btmgmt le on' before the 'btmgmt advertising on' otherwise it fails. Does that make sense? 2) What does 'btmgmt advertising on' do? Is that command needed to switch advertising on before issuing 'btmgt add-adv"? 3) I played around with the add-adv command and it spits out a message if you give it params that it doesn't like. That message contains an example invocation, so I tried that. Here's the command and the error message: sudo ./btmgmt add-adv -u 180d -u 180f -d 080954657374204C45 1 Add Advertising failed with status 0x01 (Unknown Command) 4) I also noticed that btmgmt has some other useful commands. One in particular that interested me was 'find-service'. I get an error with this too: sudo ./btmgmt find-service -u 180d Start Service Discovery failed: status 0x01 (Unknown Command) Btw, 'btmgmt find' does work. Now back to btgatt-server :) Now I understand why I wasn't seeing any advertising; is it the case that I should be able to connect to it using bggatt-client? I tried this from a different machine while running 'sudo ./btgatt-server -rv': sudo ./btgatt-client -i hci0 -d 5C:F3:70:65:CF:E6 -v btgatt-client: Opening L2CAP LE connection on ATT channel: src: 5C:F3:70:64:FB:97 dest: 5C:F3:70:65:CF:E6 Connecting to device... Failed to connect: Transport endpoint is not connected > > Note that you usually don't want to run btgatt-server while bluetoothd > is running since they will interfere with each other. I figured that might be the case. Btw, I noticed when I cntrl C out of bluetoothd that my bluetooth interface goes down. Is that expected? I know that's a lot of stuff, but I'm hoping there might be a common thread to the issues I'm hitting. Thanks again!
