AmbiCom BT2000E problems

[woodbri]

Hi all,

I have been struggling with getting my card working and PAN working. I saw the following THREAD about having the results of

Code: [Select]

$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "AmbiCom,Inc", "BT2000E", "Bluetooth PC/CF Card"
  manfid: 0x022d, 0x2000
  function: 2 (serial)
Socket 1:
no product info available
coordinated with both /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf

Code: [Select]

card "AmbiCom BT2000E Bluetooth PC/CF Card"
  version "AmbiCom,Inc", "BT2000E"
  bind "bt950_cs"
and in /etc/bluetooth/uart

Code: [Select]

"AmbiCom,Inc", "BT2000E":/dev/ttyS3 bcsp
Then run the following commands:

 

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth restart
Shutting down Bluetooth... Done.
Starting Bluetooth... Can't get port settings: Input/output error
Can't initialize device: Input/output error
Done.
What is causing this error and how do I fix it?

I also removed (commented out) the card info from from the /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf file as suggested in the reference post by tumnus but got the same results.

My setup is:
Z5500
ROM 3.13
2.4.18-rmk-pxa3-embedix from Sharp
bluez-bt950-cs-high-speed v1.0.0
bluez-csr-serial v0.1
bluez-zarus v2.3-2.4.18e
qtopia-bluetoothnetworkapplet v1.0.1
qtopia-pannetworkapplet v1.0.1
sudo
susp-resume
susp-resume-bluez

I think you're getting confused between the BT2000C and BT2000E. The BT2000E should work out of the box.

Try removing all those packages and just install the following:

bluez-2.3-2.4.18d (NOT e)
sudo
susp-resume
susp-resume-bluez

and follow the Bluetooth howto into the ZUG Howtos.

tumnus,

Thank you for your reply.

When you say "all those packages"  I assume you are refering to:

bluez-bt950-cs-high-speed v1.0.0
bluez-csr-serial v0.1
bluez-zarus v2.3-2.4.18e

Should I also remove the qtopia packages?

qtopia-bluetoothnetworkapplet v1.0.1
qtopia-pannetworkapplet v1.0.1

OK, reinstalled as you suggested (except not the qtopia ipks) and I have had some sucess getting the Z to connect to my bluetooth GPS using gpsd and rfcomm0. It seems that now I can run

Code: [Select]

gpsd -S 2947 -s 4800 -p /dev/rfcomm0
and then start zRoadmap and it works. After I exit from zRoadmap the only way I can reconnect to the GPS is to eject the BT2000E card and re-insert it.  In the morning when my brain is working better I will go back and read more of the Howtos.

Thank you for your help, it is really appreciated.

OK, bluetooth is working much better for me now that I have my bluez packages straighten out. Thanks for the advice.
