Hi,
I've manually compiled the latest Bluez (5.43) on both Raspberry Pi 2
and Artik 5 systems, as I need the experimental features for BLE
enabled.
While on the Pi things work as expected, on the Artik 5 the
"LEAdvertisement"
interface is not enabled. Upon closer inspection, the bluetoothd
daemon
on the Artik 5 complains on startup with the following error:
"Failed to read advertising features: Unknown Command (0x01)"
I suspect the problem may be related to the old kernel (3.10.93)
that ships with the Artik 5, because these features may require
a more recent kernel. Is this suspicion correct? And if so,
is there any other solution besides attempting to compile a
newer kernel for the Artik 5?
In the meantime I've found some information which confirms my
initial suspicion: BLE advertising features require kernel >= 4.1,
and therefore it's hopeless to use the Artik 5 for this purpose,
because its heavily patched vendor kernel is stuck at 3.10.93,
possibly forever...
Best regards,
Dario Teixeira
