Hi, Does any tutorial exist for connecting peripherals using BLE? I'm able to see my mouse: # hccontrol -n ubt0hci le_scan -av -n 6 Scan 1 Scan result, num_reports: 1 BD_ADDR mouse Address type: Random Device Address ADV Data: 03 19 c2 03 02 01 06 03 03 12 18 06 ff 06 00 03 00 80 d3 Appearance: c2 03 Flags: 06 Complete list of service class UUIDs (16-bit): 12 18 Manufacturer: Microsoft Manufacturer specific data: 03 00 80 RSSI: -45 dBm Scan 2 Scan result, num_reports: 1 BD_ADDR mouse Address type: Random Device Address ADV Data: 14 09 4b 65 79 63 68 72 6f 6e 20 4d 33 20 6d 69 6e 69 20 34 4b d3 Complete local name: Keychron M3 mini 4K RSSI: -45 dBm And I can connect to it: # hccontrol -n ubt0hci le_connect -a mouse -t random -v Handle: 2048 Status: No error Role: Master Address Type: Random Device Address Address: mouse Interval: 93.75ms Latency: 0 events Supervision timeout: 327680ms Master clock accuracy: Unknown accuracy # hccontrol -n ubt0hci read_connection_list Remote BD_ADDR Handle Type Mode Role Encrypt Pending Queue State mouse 2048 SCO 0 MAST NONE 0 0 OPEN However, it doesn't show up as an hid device like normal bluetooth devices do. For non-BLE devices one must run a quary, but it doesn't work for BLE: # bthidcontrol -a mouse Query Could not perform SDP query on the device f6:31:70:6a:f9:6c. Host is down (64) I don't know what to do anymore. Here is what i have tried so far: hccontrol -n ubt0hci add_sco_connection 2048 hccontrol -n ubt0hci write_le_host_support 1 1 hccontrol -n ubt0hci write_authentication_enable 1 hccontrol -n ubt0hci write_encryption_mode 1 Thank you in advance! -- spmzt
