Hi,
I don't want to preempt the official packager of the Zaurus BlueZ
distribution but I couldn't wait for Sharp to get around to distributing
the kernel source and needed to try out BlueZ on the new ROM.
So I built BlueZ kernel modules from a vanilla 2.4.18 plus Marcel's
2.4.18-mh6 patch-set and a bit of tweaking to the 2.4.6 kernel config
file.
>>From cursory testing, they seem to be ok: bluecard_cs is successfully
loaded and the latest versions of hciconfig, hcitool and sdptool all
work fine. (However YMMV, no warranty, don't blame me if your Z catches
fire, etc.)
I've uploaded them to our anonymous ftp area, along with the PCMCIA
configuration files, bluetooth and bluetooth.conf. Get them from
ftp://rococosoft.com/pub/zaurus
Installation:
* unpack the tar-ball in the /home/root/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
directory
* run depmod -ae
* install bluetooth and bluetooth.conf in /etc/pcmcia
* run /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
Cheers,
Steve

Yeah me too. Particularly because it's much easier to build the
user-space tools with a cross-compiler.

I will think about doing this if I get some time. For now, I have
uploaded the latest basic user-space binaries separately to
ftp://rococosoft.com/pub/zaurus with instructions for installing them in
the right places. It would not be too hard to write packaging scripts
for them --- indeed this is something anyone could do using the
ipkg-build script; volunteers?

We only have 2 Zauruses here (one with the older Sharp ROM and the other
with the new one) so I can't try OpenZaurus :-(

the current Zaurus packages are done by Joseph Ecker and the kernel
modules are based on the deprecated bluez-kernel-2.3 package. It seems
that it is really time to have up-to-date kernel modules for the Zaurus.
Frist I don't like Joseph last choise to put the userspace tools and the
kernel modules into one big package. I like to see the kernel stuff
seperated from the userspace tools. However I have no Zaurus, so I can't
help with that. But some time ago I put some scripts in the BlueZ kernel
CVS repository which makes it possible to compile and install the
Bluetooth modules outside the kernel source. Maybe you should take a
look at it and provide some easy to install ipk packages.
The OpenZaurus project will use a 2.4.19 in future and hopefully they
include my patch. Do anyone have details about this.
Regards
Marcel

the bt3c_cs is another story due the needed firmware load :(

As soon as I am able to build the modules, is there any way I can help you
assist in debugging this? Maybe I can sprinkle some printfs around the
suspend-handling code or elsewhere, and we can track down at what point the
driver fails?

let us first get a BlueZ kernel package, before we talk about updating
or replacing other daemons or tools.

As I know, that happen to all cards with a special driver (dtl1_cs and
bluecard_cs) and I don't know why.

This would be nice, if indeed we can support this on 2.4.6. Although, I
believe the earlier Sharp ROM has similar suspending issues related to
cardmgr (this is what Max told me in January). For bluetooth to work
reliably here, we may need to offer a cardmgr upgrade.

I would like to volunteer for this, when I get a build setup working (I will

Do you have any hint about where it may be? Maybe the Zaurus does not send
appropriate signals to the driver that it is shutting down? I'd like to look
into this, but I need some direction first. For instance, if it affects all
drivers, not just dtl1_cs, then either all drivers have the same "bug", or
the bug is in the bluez core, right?
What is significant about cardctl suspend? This will break the driver also,
and perhaps it easier to look into this than the full pda suspend.
-Justin
Hi,
> See http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/dtl1.html
this package is not longer maintained, because the driver is part of the
official kernel and it is also part of my kernel patches.

The dtl1_cs driver was in these patches from the beginning. Look at the
changelog and search for "Support for Nokia Bluetooth cards".

Well I have a sort of heath-robinson setup here which works (but I'm not
recommending it). If you have the bandwidth, download this:
ftp://rococosoft.com/pub/zaurus/linux-2.4.18-pxa3-embedix.tar.bz2
It is a kludged-together source tree which can't build the kernel (but
manages the modules we're interested).
You can get fairly recent binaries from that site as well (they're the
ones which Xavier used, AFAIR).

It was only merged in 2.4.20 and 2.5.30. Perhaps Marcel needs to provide

Excellent, Stephen. :)
What about the kernel modules? By the way, is dtl1_cs meant to be separated
from the kernel? I didn't see it in 2.4.18 even after applying
patch-2.4.18-mh7.
