Re: manage bluetooth devices using NetworkManger

[NIKHIL PATIL <nikhilvp29 gmail com>]

Hi,

   1)  yes. I added networkmanager with bluetooth support.

     My networkmanager_1.10.6.bbappend file :-

     PACKAGECONFIG_append = "  bluez5"  

     

      Is this fine for bluetooth support or need to be extra in networkmanager_1.10.6.bb file ?

         

   2)  default bluez5 (bluetooth package ) is dealing with connman , how we can make so bluez5 will deal with networkmanager  in yocto?

1.10.0 was released almost 3 years ago (and the minor update 1.10.6
five months after that). If possible, I wouldn't bother with such an
old version and use something more recent.

Anyway, did you build NetworkManager with bluetooth support enabled?

Under `nmcli device` you would see the paired bluetooth devices (that
support network related bluetooth profiles).


Did you look at the log file?

nmcli device
nmcli connection
