In addition to minicom failing to be able to open /dev/rfcomm0 (see
details below), we also noticed that rfcomm connect fails with this:
Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Connection refused
However, think I found something; https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4930
Details
bluez changed the pin_helper concept in the last release. If
pairing with a device requires a PIN, then it will send a
dbus-message.
Unfortunately, there are currently no dbus helpers compatible with
the new bluez dbus API.
There is a small program called passkey-agent in the bluez-utils
source, which solves this problem.
If you call "passkey-agent --default <pin>" just before the
pairing attempt, it will use the right pin.
This program is built with bluez-utils, but make install ignores it.
Fix: Add install -D -m755
$startdir/src/bluez-utils-3.1/hcid/passkey-agent
$startdir/pkg/usr/bin/passkey-agent to the PKGBUILD.
In bluez-4.71 (bluez4), there appears to be no more utils release;
(last one was bluez-utils-3.36).
Looking thru the source right now to see if there's some sort of
equivalent utility.
Anybody know what's up in the most recent release of bluez?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Overo running OE 2.6.34 Bluetooth Serial Device; Problem:
cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Connection refused or No such file or
directory
To: [email protected]
We are trying to read input from a Bluetooth embedded serial device.
We are using the bluez4-4.66-r7.0 stack in Open Embedded 2.6.34.
We have been assuming that once the serial BT device pairs and
connects, that we can use rfcomm to map it to a /dev/rfcomm0 serial
device that we can open and read.
The BT serial device is sending data out continuously. We find that
we can pair it with other systems - Windows for example - and see
serial data blasting out of it.
A lot works, but not enough. Unsure if pairing is happening
successfully. Can't seem to get debug info to turn on, (Tried
launching bluetoothd with -d, but doesn't seem to help).
Here's what we see.

(The serial device, SPP-B, does have a weird class; not sure if this
is OK or not).

Trying to attach to it using minicom fails:
root@overo:~# minicom
minicom: cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Connection refused
(sometimes the error is minicom: cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: No such
file or directory)
The suspicion is that we don't have the default pin configured
correctly, even though we've put it into the right file.
When security mode is set to user, there is suppose to be prompting
for the pin, but this doesn't work.
Attached below are some of the configuration files we have set up:
