Hi Sebastien,

I'm currently facing an issue regarding the pairing of BT devices after
having change the BD_Addr.


I use a TI chip and also use hci command or bdaddr script to modify the
bd_addr

I'm also using the bluez-4.69

I change the BD_Addr using the bdaddr scripts provided into the bluez src.

When other devices scan me, the new address is seen but hciconfig still show
the old BD address.

I have sent the hcitool cmd to read the bd_addr and after the hciconfig
return the one.

I'm discoverable with the new BD address.

But When I try to pair an A2DP headset or BT Keyboard/Mouse it failed since
BD_Addr change.

I have try to use directly the hcitool cmd using the vendor specific command
but I got the same result.

I have tried to kill bluetooth daemon and restart it after having change the
bd_addr. Still failing.

I have tried to kill bluetooth daemon before changing the BD adress and
start it after the change it still fail.

I have also tried to power on/off interface. still the issue

I think that something is "broken" is bluez when the BD_Addr is changed.

Is someone already seen this issue ?
I don't think you are suppose to change the address like that, it is
supposed to be done once in the chip initialization and then keep it
like that forever, so I guess there is something wrong if the chip is
already initialize with the wrong address. What are you trying achieve
with this?

Surely not but regarding some tests scripts I have seen on bluez, I
suppose that's possible. Perhaps, some chips support and other don't.

I have tried to change the BD_Address during the BT initialization and
prior any HCI command sent to the chip and it works.
all of them needed a special warm reset. The HCI_Reset was never enough.
I might work on some Broadcom chips this way, but all others do need
special reset magic.

I expected the same behavior than observed on WLAN :  I have changed the
WLAN MAC address after and everything works fine.
The WiFi MAC address is different than a BD_ADDR. You can NOT expect any
similar behavior. That they happen to be both IEEE addresses means
nothing at all.

Regards

Marcel

We succeed to change the BD address and have a working system if you change the BD address prior to send any hci command during the BT driver boot.
