BBG Wireless Bluetooth script not working?

[hiron]

Hello,

I am using BeagleBone Green Wireless and would like to use Bluetooth capability. But when using the latest Debian image (i.e. Debian 9.5 2018-10-07 4GB SD IoT found https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/b ... 4gb.img.xz ) and following the Wiki page below...

http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/BeagleBone_ ... oth-device

kernel dmesg appears OK but Bluetooth initialize script fails.

debian@beaglebone:~$ bb-wl18xx-bluetooth
Wanted to write 4 bytes, could only write 0. Stop
Can't initialize device: Success
debian@beaglebone:~$

When I open /dev/ttyS3 direct with "cu", any character input will close the connection.

=================================================

When I tried the same procedure in the old (Debian 8.4 beaglebone 4.4.9-ti-r25 kernel) it worked as the Wiki instruction explains...

( note: Debian 8.x requires sudo for the proper operation)

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo bb-wl18xx-bluetooth
Found a Texas Instruments' chip!
Firmware file : /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/TIInit_11.8.32.bts
Loaded BTS script version 1
texas: changing baud rate to 3000000, flow control to 1
Device setup complete
debian@beaglebone:~$

=================================================

So does anybody have solution for Debian 9.x ?

Thanks,

confirmed. In Debian 9.x there's no need to run "bb-wl18xx-bluetooth" script but just run "bluetoothctl" Blue-Z utility.

following is my testing result.

Code: Select all

debian@beaglebone:~$ uname -a
