Kernal/User space change for LE Random Addresses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




One other change that is needed, which I don't really know how to attack is remote devices with Random Addresses. There is at least one team here at UPF with a device with a Random Address which cannot be connected to with either Vinicius' or the bluetooth-next kernal tips, because the connection HCI command only specifies Public Addresses as the remote address type.

I am not at all knowledgable about sockets, but I assume that a new Socket option needs to be defined that specifies address type.

I can get around this inelegantly by building a secondary kernel which hard-codes the address type to Random, and then dual booting into that kernel for random address only remote devices.

I would love if someone who knows the bluez socket option handling (both kernel and user space) could fix this, otherwise I will try to muddle along on my own.
