Ps. sorry if this e-mail is duplicated. I tried sending a couple times but it said delivery failed, so I try again. Dear Sir/Madam In Inquiry result with RSSI mode, I am wondering why when using Bluetooth (BT) dongle version 2.1 to inquire BT version 2.0, there is only one inquiry response back? On the other hand, when using version 2.1 to inquire version 2.1 there are multiple response as it's supposed to be. According to the core specification, it should act the same way when using 2.0 to inquire both 2.0 and 2.1 in which I always got multiple inquiry responses from the same device. If anyone could tell me what is going on or I miss-understood something here, please kindly guide me. I use BlueZ and kernel versions as following. bluez-libs-3.36-1.fc9.i386 bluez-utils-3.36-3.fc9.i386 bluez-hcidump-1.41-1.fc9.i386 fedora 9, kernel version: 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Should I get more than one inquiry response from the same device?? Best regards, TS. Below is the script showing when using BT 2.1 to inquire 2.0; and 2.0 to inquire 2.0 & 2.1 respectively. ************************************************************************** The first case: BT 2.1 inquired for BT 2.0 [root@thanit ~]# hciconfig hci0 inqmode 1 [root@thanit ~]# hciconfig hci0 inqmode hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:3A:87:A9:F2 ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 Inquiry mode: Inquiry with RSSI [root@thanit ~]# hcitool inq Inquiring ... 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B clock offset: 0x6c61 class: 0x5a0204 Another terminal window shows “hcidumps” [root@thanit ~]# hcidump -V HCI sniffer - Bluetooth packet analyzer ver 1.41 device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff < HCI Command: Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) plen 0 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 5 Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) ncmd 1 status 0x00 mode 2 < HCI Command: Write Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0045) plen 1 mode 1 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 Write Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0045) ncmd 1 status 0x00 < HCI Command: Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) plen 0 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 5 Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) ncmd 1 status 0x00 mode 1 < HCI Command: Inquiry (0x01|0x0001) plen 5 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 Inquiry (0x01|0x0001) status 0x00 ncmd 1 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x6c61 class 0x5a0204 rssi -43 <------- only one response here > HCI Event: Inquiry Complete (0x01) plen 1 status 0x00 ********************************************************************* The first case: BT 2.1 inquired for BT 2.0 [root@ttt ~]# hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:17:9A:3F:2E:1A ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:945 acl:0 sco:0 events:24 errors:0 TX bytes:347 acl:0 sco:0 commands:24 errors:0 [root@ttt ~]# hciconfig hci0 inqmode hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:17:9A:3F:2E:1A ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0 Inquiry mode: Inquiry with RSSI [root@ttt ~]# hcitool inq Inquiring ... 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B clock offset: 0x2b74 class: 0x5a0204 Another terminal window shows “hcidumps” [root@ttt ~]# hcidump -V HCI sniffer - Bluetooth packet analyzer ver 1.41 device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff < HCI Command: Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) plen 0 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 5 Read Inquiry Mode (0x03|0x0044) ncmd 1 status 0x00 mode 1 < HCI Command: Inquiry (0x01|0x0001) plen 5 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 Inquiry (0x01|0x0001) status 0x00 ncmd 1 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 <<<----Many responses---->>>> bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b74 class 0x5a0204 rssi -37 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b73 class 0x5a0204 rssi -35 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b73 class 0x5a0204 rssi -36 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b72 class 0x5a0204 rssi -35 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b74 class 0x5a0204 rssi -35 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b74 class 0x5a0204 rssi -40 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b73 class 0x5a0204 rssi -39 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b73 class 0x5a0204 rssi -39 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b72 class 0x5a0204 rssi -39 > HCI Event: Inquiry Result with RSSI (0x22) plen 15 bdaddr 00:1B:59:BB:B6:2B mode 1 clkoffset 0x2b74 class 0x5a0204 rssi -38 > HCI Event: Inquiry Complete (0x01) plen 1 status 0x00 ********************************************************************* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
