If you have any more questions please let me know. Don't think there is such thing about number of paired devices limit, we just use lists so they be extended dynamically as you pair with more devices, there might be a limit on how many the controller can maintain connected simultaneously though, so perhaps you want to explain a little better how the process of pairing goes, is that serialized or you attempt to connect/pair everything in parallel? > I believe the default is set to something like 65K devices per MaxControllers in main.c as well as main.conf > > parse_config_u16(config, "General", "MaxControllers", > &btd_opts.max_adapters, > 0, UINT16_MAX); > > # Maximum number of controllers allowed to be exposed to the system. > # Default=0 (unlimited) > #MaxControllers=0 These are the number of controllers, not to confuse with paired devices though. > I am assuming the issue isn't BlueZ specific but if there is any thoughts or guidance you may have it would be appreciated. > > Thanks > Chris > > THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS OF A PROPRIETARY NATURE AND IS INTENDED TO BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL BETWEEN THE SENDER AND THE INTENDED RECIPIENT.
