Not sure I have all the answers to your questions. I think you need to use Profile API. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/profile-api.txt There is an example in bluez/test: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/test/test-profile I've also got an example using it with the Serial Port Profile: https://gist.github.com/ukBaz/217875c83c2535d22a16ba38fc8f2a91 Hope that helps move you forward. > > My second question is how to create these devices automatically, using the > information from the rfcomm.conf file. > Can this be done via udev rules?
