Hi, I have an application that does a hci_open_dev, and what I am trying to understand from the stack code is why can't [and further on how can..] my application do the hci_open_dev [basically the socket(AF_BLUETOOTH)], without the hcid service being On. note: I have to do hciattach because I need to use UART. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: pavan savoy <pavan_savoy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 04:52:26 +0530 (IST) Subject: Re: Creation of AF_BLUETOOTH socket with HCI_DEV__REG Hi Pavan, > Can there be a scenario where an application can do a hci_open_dev > and use the Bluetooth Socket, without actually the HCID recieving > the HCI_DEV_REG ? > > Say a scenario where in only hciattach has been done [UART device] > and HCID isn't run at all. Then would any other application make use > of the hci_open_dev calls ? I have really no idea what you are trying to achieve here. hciattach and hcid are not tight together at all.
