Hi, Everyone

I want to buy a USB bluetooth dongle for my CE 6.0 platform,
but I can't find any USB bluetooth device with CE driver.

Can anyone suggest me which one has CE driver?

I used some dongles (dlink, SBS) using the BTUSB driver included in
PB.
If the dongle supports the standard USB class it should work.
If the device works on XP/vista without requiring any driver it _may_
work on CE.

Thank you!
Can I ask you 1 more question?

I have a EZURiO USB Bluetooth, and I can use it in my windows XP with
no more driver,
but when I inserted it, the WinCE pops up a "No USB Driver" window for
it.

What else components should I add to my OS-Design except the Bluetooth
tree in the communication catalog?

You should add the USB bluetooth driver only. IIRC if you add multiple
driver only one will be enabled and working.
If you are working with hive-based registry you should ensure that the
USB host driver and the USB-bluetooth driver info are both inside or
outside the HIVE BOOT registry (you can open your nk.bin using CE 6
Platform Builder to check that).

I just ran into the problem that Valter is talking about a few weeks ago and
documented what I found on my blog. Check out:

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for your info.
I found that you said in the winceos.bat.

So I added "Bluetooth Stack with Universal Loadable Driver" and
"Bluetooth Stack with Integrated USB Driver" to my OSDesign.

Unfortunately, the "no drvier window" was still pop-up.

I think, should I remove all "Bluetooth profiles support"?

Remove the "Bluetooth Stack with Universal Loadable Driver".

You found what I said, and still added two BT components? Why did you do
that?

I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to get a CSR BC04 Dongle working
with CE 6.0 R2 and have tried enabling the USB stack as well as the Universal
Stack one at a time with no luck. If I try to scan for devices with the
Bluetooth Manager in the control panel I get a "Bluetooth hardware error
10050 (controller not present). I've also tried testing with the Adeneo
Bluetooth Manager and get a little bit different result. If the dongle is in
I get a "Can't get the hardware status." error, and if i take it out I get a
"The adapter is not present (HCI_HARDWARE_NOT_PRESENT)" error upon starting
the manager. So the system seems to be recognizing that there is a Bluetooth
dongle plugged in. Maybe its the dongle? This one works with vista/xp
without any additional drivers as well. I've also tried about three others
with no luck either. Any ideas?

Those error messages are actually what I get with the Universal Stack. With
the USB stack enabled when I do a scan I don't get an error, but a scan
doesn't happen and if I open the Adeneo Bluetooth Manager I get the error:
"Can't access to the Bluetooth stack." Maybe this extra info will help?
