Hi, The following pages have provided me with some headway: both hcitool and gattool are available on Fedora. In case this is helpful to anyone. https://www.jaredwolff.com/get-started-with-bluetooth-low-energy/ I also needed the following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38086761/error-while-connecting-to-ble-device-using-gatttool So, I can access the information. Now to see if I can do something with it, that is program it.

The device is paired fine in the sense that it shows up on the blueman-manager and also the connected icon is visible on the device, however what do I do to access the files? Also, when I go away and come back, the manager says that it is connected, but the connected icon on the device is not visible anymore so I can not make anything out of this connection, or if it was even legit in the first place. > > Secondly, when I plugin through USB, the battery starts charging as it should, but lsusb shows up nothing beyond what it does when it is not plugged in.
