RE: BlueZ question about HID profile

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

 



Hi,

I add KEYB to sdp:
#sdptool add KEYB

And HID service can be found and connected by a remote dongle on PC,
>From log, connect_event_cb() is called, but this function calls input_device_set_channel(), in which find_device() returns NULL, because the global variable "devices" is NULL, so the connection can not be established.
I want to know how to modify here for successful connection as a keyboard.

And I'm not very clear which interfaces should be called for HID device role to send data(such as a key press).

Sicerely expect your advice! Thank you!

Best Regards,
Gilbert

Dear Marcel,

Thank you very much!
But now I'm not very clear about BlueZ HID implementation.
Could you help to point out how to modify for a HID device role or any sample code?

Best Regards,
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

it should be pretty simple to implement a HID device role. There have been external projects in the past that did this. The reason why this is not in BlueZ is mainly due to the fact that we would need to get the input events from some kind of source. So if you have that figured out, then it should be simple to provided HID device role.
