maybe you need to just read the HCI part of the Bluetooth Core specification. The tools/ibeacon.c is a perfect example on how to get started with HCI commands. You just need to figure out on how to do scanning instead of advertising.

during the last days, I fought through those 2600 pages, and I think I now have a rough idea how things might work. The source of my lescanner.c is attached, and it doesn't work yet. My questions are:

- why do you open urandom, but never use it?

- searching for the reason of "Failed to open HCI user channel", I found a commit log from you, saying that the HCI user channel means exclusive access to the device, so I'll have to disable e.g. bluetoothd. Is that a limitation inherent to bluetooth, or just to bluez? Is there a way to process those advertisements and still use bluetoothd, e.g. for skype?

- in bt_hci_register(), what is the "bt_hci_destroy_func_t destroy" parameter used for? It seems it's always null when used in the examples?

- I was hoping that line 134 would cause advertising_report_callback() to be called when advertisements are received. Unfortunately, that's not the case, nothing happens. What am I missing?

- I'm also confused by how those btle advertisements are handled, they seem to be a subevent/subtype of a generic btle event. How can I process this correctly in advertising_report_callback()?

I'd be grateful if you could give me some hints to some of these questions.

Cheers,
ben
