Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Bluetooth sync
capabilities. I have a 7290 that supports sync to blackberry desktop
with bluetooth. It would be great to have it available in Linux :)
After pairing with the BB, running 'sdptool browse' shows the following
serial ports available:
Service Name: BlackBerry Desktop Service P:0x2053730F R:0x03 V:0x20004
Service RecHandle: 0x10002
Service Class ID List:
UUID 128: 426c6163-6b42-6572-7279-44736b746f70
"Serial Port" (0x1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 3
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
Service Name: BlackBerry Bypass Service P:0x2053730F R:0x03 V:0x20003
Service RecHandle: 0x10003
Service Class ID List:
UUID 128: 426c6163-6b42-6572-7279-427970617373
"Serial Port" (0x1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 4
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
In my Ubuntu /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
rfcomm1 {
bind yes;
device 00:0F:86:96:C4:0D;
channel 3;
comment "BlackBerry Desktop Service";
}
rfcomm2 {
bind yes;
device 00:0F:86:96:C4:0D;
channel 4;
comment "BlackBerry Bypass Service";
}
This sets up /dev/rfcomm1 and /dev/rfcomm2 as virtual serial ports to
the BB.
If I open /dev/rfcomm1, the Blackberry shows 'Connecting to desktop' on
the screen.
Opening /dev/rfcomm2 shows that there is an active bluetooth connection.
I believe the bypass service serial port is used for least-cost routing
to BES. least-cost over bluetooth seems to be supported with BES and
blackberry desktop.
If the protocol used over the bluetooth connection is similar/the same
as the USB protocol, would it not just be a matter of writing a wrapper
to the Packet API and a bluetooth library?
Cheers,
Matt Thompson
