Bluez utilities - where get it

Hi,

Can I get same bluez utils from standart repositories? I need in
hcitool and rfcomm for binding console to my TomTom Go 910. Or, I
should compile them from source itself? What the version BlueZ i
should compile then?

the maemo bluez-utils is build with a bluez-utils-test package that
contains all of these above. It should be available in the default maemo
repository, but as you have realized not installed by default.

Also I don't understand why you need it. The OS2008 edition can handle
Bluetooth GPS devices through the UI.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

I don't find package in chinook repository:

/home/user # apt-get install bluez-utils-test
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package bluez-utils-test
/home/user #

I need this tools for binding rfcomm device. I solved the problem
after building BlueZ 3.20 from chinook sources under scratchbox and
from there taking these utilities.

I try your built, thanks. But when i run hcitool scan i don't see result.
It take long time and not find my device or find it, but can not resolve name.
With built myself blluez from sources chinook repository (version
3.20) I solved my problems.
Many thanks for help.

If all you need is 'hcitool scan' and rfcomm bind and release
functionality then you may also check how it is done in kbdd for OS2008
[1][2]. There is dbus-bluez-rfcomm shell script as a replacement for
rfcomm binary and dbus-bluez-scan binary made out of Vala bluez example
[3]. Additional advantage is that you don't need root privileges and
rfcomm port is allocated automatically so you don't need to hardcode it.
