the Linux (BlueZ) API.
- L2CAP or RFCOMM connections can require the baseband radio link
mode be any of:
authenticated (devices are paired)
encrypted (implies authentication)
secured (encryption, plus generate new link key)
- for sockets, the mode is set using setsockopt(2) and the socket
connection will be aborted if the mode change fails.
- mode settings will be applied during connection establishment, and
for safety, we enter a wait state and will only proceed when the mode
settings are successfuly set.
- It is possible to change the mode on already open connections, but
not possible to guarantee that data already queued (from either end)
will not be delivered. (this is a feature, not a bug)
- bthidev(4) and rfcomm_sppd(1) support "auth", "encrypt" and
"secure" options
- btdevctl(8) by default enables "auth" for HIDs, and "encrypt" for
keyboards (which are required to support it)
plist-based messages and to eliminate looping previously required to
receive a plist from the kernel:
- prop_dictionary_copyin_ioctl() and prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl()
now take the cmd argument rather than the file open flag. The
read-ness or write-ness of an ioctl command is checked by these
routines to ensure that information is being passed to/from the
userland component properly.
- prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl() now allocates the memory for the
XML plist on behalf of the userland component by way of uvm_mmap().
The XML plist is copied out to the newly-mapped anonymous region,
and the pointer returned via the plistref.
- prop_dictionary_recv_ioctl() is responsible for munmap()'ing the
region after parsing the XML plist into internal represenatation.
- A new prop_dictionary_sendrecv_ioctl() is added, allowing user space
code to send a dictionary to the kernel and receive one back as a
reply.
Update users of prop_kern for the API changes (Bluetooth).
This constitutes an ABI / protocol change -- but this will also be put
into NetBSD 4.0 so that the first proplib release will implement the new
scheme.
when the bluetooth code is not expecting it to be. During a disconnect, we can
detach the channel that is being disconnected, but its not really safe to detach
any others.
- sco_getopt(..., SO_SCO_MTU, ...) expects the address of a uint16_t,
not an int. So change sc_mtu's type to uint16_t.
- Try a little harder to ensure btsco_round_blocksize() does not
return zero. Prevents a subsequent panic in audio_init_ringbuffer().
from scw@
remove pseudo-device btdev(4) and inherent limitations
add bthub(4) which autoconfigures at bluetooth controllers as they
are enabled. bluetooth devices now attach here.
btdevctl(8) and its cache is updated to handle new semantics
etc/rc.d/btdevctl is updated to configure devices from a list
in /etc/bluetooth/btdevctl.conf
Provide an ioctl to set the SCO mtu value in the controller and
place limits in the SCO code such that only packets of this size
may be sent.
Move the mtu option from btsco(4) and btdevctl(8), to the
btconfig(8) program.
Remove temporary BLUETOOTH_SCO kernel option, and enable SCO
socket access.
Fix incoming connection handling for btsco(4) and SCO sockets.
Fix documentation to reflect the new world order.
Remove bthset(4) device and add btsco(4) in its place. This is an
improved version which is not just for headsets, as it can receive
incoming connections (eg for Hands Free Profile). Update bthset(1)
control utlitiy to relate to new device.
Change the way in which bluetooth devices attach to system. The
new way is for devices to attach directly to a btdevN device via
its own control file /dev/btdevN.
- bthub(4) is replaced by btdev(4).
- /dev/bthubctl is replaced by /dev/btdevN.
- configuration now uses proplib(3) property lists.
- btcontrol(8) updated to use new API, and now uses private
- XML config file /var/db/btdev.xml.
NetBSD Foundation Membership still pending.) This stack was written by
Iain under sponsorship from Itronix Inc.
The stack includes support for rfcomm networking (networking via your
bluetooth enabled cell phone), hid devices (keyboards/mice), and headsets.
Drivers for both PCMCIA and USB bluetooth controllers are included.
with flow control being applied. It is simpler and no more problematic to
accept the data and drop it if we hit a resource limit than to expect the
Bluetooth device to do anything about it (which it won't).
and the back end Bluetooth device driver. The device driver now
allocates a suitable buffer on behalf of the bthci driver, and bthci
fills the buffer before despatch.
This saves an ugly temporary allocation (in bthci) and memory copy (in
the USB driver) per write, and also works better with the
sockets-based interface I'm experimenting with.
