Security and Networking / Ambicom Bluetooth New Version

No. While it uses the CSR chip for the Bluetooth stuff, it uses the same OX16C950 chip for the UART interface. The only code for intialising that chip is in the bt950 driver.

In theory the UART code from the bt950 driver could be ported into hciattach and then this could be used as with the other CSR based cards. It's not as straight forward as a copy and paste though as it is going from kernel space code to user space.

Well, the Billionton card was also supposed to be using bt950_cs driver, but it ended up working with serial_cs and hciattach. So I'm almost sure the new Amicom card could be initialized in similar way. But, of course, I wouldn't bet on it :)

I am interested in using a Billionton Bluetooth card with a sl-5500. I can't find any info on how to change the config files. Which files do you change to use the serial_cs driver and then how do you use the hciattach command?
Thanks
