Subject: [Bluez-users] minicom over /dev/rfcomm0

Hi:

In many examples that I found online where people are trying to make their
cellphone surf web or somehow talk to their cellphone from Bluez, I notice
that they can often do minicom over /dev/rfcomm0 in the setup.

If I want to access the serial port service like that, but from my C
program, do I just treat /dev/rfcomm0 as a serial device and use standard
Unix serial programming libraries from my C program to do so?
Just curious. Thanks in advanced for any tip.


Mark

Yep. I actually just managed to get mgetty working ;)

Here's how:

# rfcomm listen 3 4

This creates /dev/rfcomm3, available on channel 4. It spits out
something like:

Waiting for connection on channel 4
Press CTRL-C for hangup

Just let this guy run.

Then start mgetty, in another terminal:

# mgetty -r -b /dev/rfcomm3

Before all of this, I did a "sdptool add --channel=4 SP" to let the
client know there's a Serial Port service on channel 4.

From another box, I connected to this channel and got a nice "login:
" prompt.

Minor thing is that mgetty complains a bit about some ioctl's didn't
go right, I don't think it likes being started from the command line,
but it does work.

I'd say this pretty much shows you can just use plain serial io
against these devices ;)

I don't (yet) understand exactly how rfcomm works and in what state
it creates the device, for instance, "rfcomm bind ..." doesn't work.

Cheers,

Bas.

You are right, I was going to add a SerialStream for this, but then I
decided it is useless, it is a socket indeed. If you want to open as a
serial port open the file /dev/rfcomm0 as if it is a normal serial port.

Hi Bas: thanks for your reply.

So are you implying that if I do not go through RFCOMM and all the sockets
stuff, I can
actually open /dev/rfcomm0 and get back a file descriptor just like any
other serial port?

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for the code. I have something simular in the way how I open RFCOMM
as a socket.
So I think I am on the right track.

However, in reading your code, what I do not understand is what part of it
are "serial" in nature?
In a quick glance, all are socket (and RFCOMM sockets) based. I don't see
anything
that is serial in nature in your code (like open() a serial port to get a
file descriptor etc....)

Sorry if I am asking stupid questions.

The idea with mine is that I needed to measure RSSI and wanted some
control over the BlueZ Stack :D

You sure can.

You can of course use the code provided by Manuel too but then your
code won't work without rfcomm/bluetooth. The nice thing is that if
you keep it generic you can test your application using any old
serial connection. Or use a pipe in the filesystem etc..

Caveat: I can't get mgetty to work by feeding it /dev/rfcommX though :
( It should work, must be one of those things ;)
