Hi!
I'm trying to get gatt client/server to run; my ultimate goal is to
turn Linux machine into "low-energy device", providing services
similar to heartbeat measurement.
I do have existing qt application (running on Android and PC) I'd like
"device" to talk to.
TODO says:
- Add complete GATT test coverage in unit/test-gatt following the GATT
test
spec. This could use shared/gatt-client and shared/gatt-server at
the same
time to test both against each other. We should definitely have
tests for
gatt-server and gatt-client simultaneously on one side of the
connection.
Priority: High
Complexity: C4
Which tells me that maybe I should consider helping with that. But so
far I was not able to get it to work...
I can use gatt-server and connect to it using gatttool, but depending
on details during the server start (?) and phase of moon, either
device is not enumerated by the QT code, or it is not detected as
low-energy device, or no UUIDs are detected.
My attempt at launching server is below (using python gatt-server, (1)
). I was doing "hciconfig leadv 0" manually at some point.
Using hciconfig while bluetoothd is running sounds kind-of
dangerous. Stackoverflow (2) suggests using btmgmt (3) instead, and
things got slightly different, but did not start to work for me. Is
there documentation how to get this to work somewhere?
Thanks and best regards,
Pavel
