BlueZ GUI ?
« on: July 07, 2004, 05:29:54 pm »
Is there any news on any kind of a blueZ gui ?

What ever happened to the one pictured here.

Or is that gui from some rom other than the sharp rom ?

I know this is a repost but I am curious if anyone knows anything ?

BlueZ is great but really slow to configure new devices manually and slow to use through command line.

That GUI is for the Opie and even then I think development stopped.

I was working on a GUI for the Sharp ROM, but I haven't had much time: http://www.cpinkney.org.uk/zaurus.html#bluetooth

Hi tumnus,

folloing your link and going through a couple of others, I got to :

http://bluez.sourceforge.net/download/zaurus/

It seams to have some files which are very new but an older bluez-zaurus file

Just wondering how the 2 relate.

Those older BlueZ SF ipks are for the SL5500 v2.x Sharp ROMs. I hadn't noticed those newer ipks. They're only a month old.

I emailed the BlueZ mailing lists several times, months and months ago, that I have created updated ipks and that those old ipks they have will not work on anything other that the 2.x ROMs, but I never heard anything back. I guess the previous maintainer finally got round to creating updated ipks.

Very cool. Good to hear things are still in progress. Should make interacting with blueZ alot more fast and user friendly.

Tumnus:
Are you still working on your bluetooth GUI? If so, when do you think it will be ready for outside testing? I am willing to be a beta-tester for you. Your bluetooth GUI should let me do some of the things discussed in this thread
Does the current Bluez-Zaurus implementation include the OBEX Push and/or File Transfer protocols? If so, how may I use them from the command line? BlueZ.org leaves a lot to be desired in the way of documentation...

Thank you!

Progress is a bit erm non-existant at the moment. Maybe once I've moved house I'll get started on it again. I need to keep up my C++ skills anyway since I've only been able to do VB stuff at work recently

The BlueZ OBEX stuff is still very rudementary at the moment. Last time I checked, there was a test OBEX app in their CVS that didn't do very much. I certainly don't know enough about the BlueZ drivers and OBEX to progress that any further and I couldn't even get the program and OBEX library compiled for ARM anyway.

I have made some modification for the PAN network applet to add DHCP PAN connections. I would like to help on the develop for the obex push utilities, but hate the idea of doing it from the beggining.

A good place to start for a BlueZ GUI would be to look at the KDE Bluetooth GUI apps. I use them on my laptop for doing OBEX file transfers to/from my phone (a Sony K700i) using the BlueMonkey card I originally bought for my Zaurus, but for some reason it doesn't work with the Z anymore (since a crash and full reboot wiped out my old setup)....I wish that BT faq would come back

What about Affix? It appears to be a continuing project (last update on July 23), is in it's third release, and has good documentation. Here are the profiles it supports:
- General Access Profie
- Service Discovery Profile
- Serial Port Profile
- DialUp Networking Profile
- LAN Access Profile
- OBEX Object Push Profile
- OBEX File Transfer Profile
- PAN Profile
- FAX Profile

There are already Affix packages available for the Zaurus. I would definitely like to try this out for myself, at least. How would I go about removing the built-in BlueZ in Cacko 1.21 (which I am assuming should be done before I install Affix)?

Would resuming work on the Opie bluetooth stuff be an option for anyone?

I am not a programer, so I cannot help with that part. However, I will donate some hardware to whichever development team satisfies my bluetooth needs (see this thread)

Zaurus support from the Affix project kind of stopped a while ago. I think they had a developer or two leave but I may be wrong.

The BlueZ drivers support every profile and as cwaig said, the KDE Bluetooth framework uses OBEX and the BlueZ drivers (I've used it on my PC too). AFAIK, Affix still only has a test app for OBEX stuff. Also, the way in which RFCOMM works with BlueZ makes it much easier to work with other applications, like the Network applets.

It's just a case of finding time to look through the existing code and porting it to the Zaurus.
