FC4 Bluetooth to iPAQ with Windows CE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



List,

I am trying to connect an iPAQ using bluetooth to an FC4 unit.  I can
run hciconfig and get recognition of the usb bluetooth dongle.  When I
run "hcitool scan" I do not see the iPAQ.  I can recognize the Linux
system from the iPAQ, but I can not get the iPAQ to bond to Fedora.

I have modified the hcdi.conf file as follows:

pin_helper /usr/bin/bluepin; was uncommmented

I am getting an error in the message log when the iPAQ tries to bond:

Jan 22 21:47:18 dev hcid[4717]: pin_code_request (sba=00:0B:0D:08:DE:18,
dba=00:02:C7:18:DD:5A)
Jan 22 21:47:18 dev hcid[5396]: PIN helper exited abnormally with code
256

I googled on the error code and found a post that advised the use of

a replacement script for /usr/bin/bluepin as:
---------------------------
#!/bin/bash

PIN=`cat /etc/bluetooth/pin`
echo PIN:$PIN
---------------------------

Using the replacement causes hcid to look at itself for the pin and certainly resolved the log entry, but did not resolve the error.  I still am unable to connect. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis
