Dear All,

I'm trying to get "hello world" working from the shell between 2

Check ogf and ocf from the Bluetooth Specification.

Dear Andrei,

Thanks for your reply. That was actually very helpful: by searching specifically for "ogf ocf Bluetooth specification", I was able to locate the right part of the relevant document (a 600 page PDF of Bluetooth 4.0 core).

However, before I delve into this in great detail, I wonder whether I am about to "re-invent the wheel". For example, if I wanted to use "ping" in a shell-script, I wouldn't normally begin by poking registers in the ethernet card.

If nobody else has written the utility, I'm happy to do so, (and I'll publish the results), but I wonder whether it has already been done?

Best wishes,

Richard


P.S. I sent a patch to hciconfig yesterday: was it sufficient to just post it to this list, or is there anything else I should do in order to get feedback and to have it considered for acceptance into bluez ?
