Hi there,

 

I’ve set up and run the emulator as instructed and all seems to be ok. Also ran the bttest.exe and connected successfully.

 

However when I try to run VS and deploy to the Smartphone Emulator, my Bluetooth software sees there is a BT radio but is unable to enumerate the devices.

 

The BT software I am using (designed for use with CF) works fine when running on the PC (with the freebt driver unloaded).

 

Am I missing something?

 

Cheers

 

Paul

Hi,

>> Also ran the bttest.exe and connected successfully.

This only means that you've installed FreeBT successfully.

>> I’ve set up and run the emulator as instructed and all seems to be ok.

So you've set it up and now the emulator shows that there is Bluetooth available and it is able to discover the devices around.
Right? If it's not, what installation steps you made?

Hi Paul,

    >> update my dongle to FreeBT driver (now appears under ‘Universal Serial Bus controllers’ instead of ‘Bluetooth Radios’ in Device Manager)
    >> Start the emulator with BthEmulManager.cetool
    >> Select USA Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard Landscape QVGA Emulator (also tried Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC)

    So far so good. The emulator now believes Bluetooth is available. The only strange thing is that there is this long COMMAND_PACKET and then COM_CLOSE_MSG.
Before moving on you should make sure that your Bluetooth dongle is workable. Don't use your software. Switch Bluetooth on (if it's off) on the emulator and make discovery and pairing using the standard means. This must work! I saw it didn't and the only solution was to replace the Bluetooth dongle. There are a number of problems with FreeBT stack itself. It it works then you are ready to go.

Look at this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/bthmsdevemul/nHRsYI7sqAA
There a guy was able to initially setup its dongle but service discovery didn't work. Try to find the utility MsBtDiscovery I mentioned there.

Does this part work?

Hi Dmitry,

 

These are the links I used to get things up and running (on Windows 7):

http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/how-to-install-use-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-vista-7-x64.127187/

 

And this is how I run the app:

 

·         run dseo13b.exe

·         update my dongle to FreeBT driver (now appears under ‘Universal Serial Bus controllers’ instead of ‘Bluetooth Radios’ in Device Manager)

·         Start the emulator with BthEmulManager.cetool

·         Select USA Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard Landscape QVGA Emulator (also tried Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC)

·         RemoteTools Framework Shell shows Bluetooth for Microsoft Device Emulator, displaying Address, Manufacturer (RTX Telecom A/S), HCI/LMP Version (see picture 2)

·         Start Visual Studio (VS 2008)

·         Set a break point after BT discovery

·         Debug->Start new instance

·         Select USA Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard Landscape QVGA Emulator (or Pocket PC)

·         Deploy

·         Start discovery on the mobile device

·         Stops at breakpoint with 0 devices found

 

The attachment (picture 3) shows information for the radio at the time of the breakpoint.

 

RTF Shell shows no comms activity during debug.

 

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

Great! It's good to know that my project is still in use today.
But be carefull and don't send too much data at once.
FreeBT driver doesn't like that.

How stupid of me! I assumed BT would be switched on. All ok now. Thanks for such prompt help. J
