I’m proud to announce that BlueZ and oFono now support the Handsfree role of the Bluetooth Handsfree profile. This means that your Desktop now can now act like a headset bluetooth and handle calls from your cell phone. The work was done during the last 2 months here at ProFUSION.
On the BlueZ side a new [...]
After a while with a BlueZ 4.39 ebuid Gentoo has updated today to the version 4.60 (the lastest one). It took a lot of work from me and others gentoo guys, especially Pacho Ramos. Thanks to all.
By adding this ebuild we were able to close other 4 bugs into the Gentoo bugzilla, but we still [...]
Since the last post here (it was a long time ago :-) too much work was done, but ERTM isn’t fully implemented yet. So, what did I do last month?
I’ll explain each of the features I implemented on the next paragraphs, but if this are boring for you just take a look at the roadmap [...]
I was looking for a pastebin plugin for vim. I’ve found one[1], but it was not working, then I fixed it. The plugin is here[2]. And if is useful to you there is a git repo[3] too.
How to use:
Put it into ~/.vim/plugin to autoload the plugin every time you open VIM. You can also source it [...]
I spent the last days studying how Enhanced Retransmission Mode(ERTM) should be implemented on L2CAP. Marcel recommended me to look at TCP[0] code. ERTM on L2CAP is very similar to TCP. Both have retransmission support, recovery error, acknowledgment of packets and timers.
That means that ERTM implementation will look like TCP implementation[1] on Linux. So, there [...]
The first patch, that add support to L2CAP Enhanced Retransmission, was merged into bluetooth-testing yesterday. The patch adds support to configure L2CAP connections in Enhanced Retransmission(ERTM) and Streaming Modes besides the Basic Mode. Streaming Mode will not be implemented now, but it’s better make all configuration code for the 3 modes instead only ERTM and [...]
I already started to work on my project. Now, I’m studying how to do the configuration negotiation. Today, only L2CAP Basic mode is supported, so the configuration process is too easy, if a the device try to use another mode, BlueZ stack will response that only supports Basic mode. Now with L2CAP Enhanced Retransmission mode(ERTM) [...]
I’m proud to announce I was accepted on Google Summer of Code 2009. Google announced on Monday the students accepted on GSoC 2009. I’m going to hack BlueZ.
My project is named “L2CAP Enhanced Retransmission mode support” . My mentors are Luiz Augusto “Vudentz” von Dentz and Marcel Holtmann.
The work is on L2CAP layer, which passes [...]
