Hi,

I'm going to use the bluetooth on a new platform,not G1. I can get
device info by hciconfig -a, but hcitool scan gets nothing.

Anyone knows if I should have a firmware like brf6300.bin?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yes, based on the bluetooth chip connected to the app processor, a firmware file could be required.
Do you see hciattach being a success on your platform ?

regards,
Pavan

Hi Pavan,

I get the below info when using hciconfig -a. So I think hciattach is
successful.
If the firmware is must, where can I get the description so that I may
generate one. Thanks!

I got the answer:
For my CSR chip, no firmware is needed. After using the bccmd to set
the correct pskey, it can now scan and get the bt devices.
