Hi Jiri,
I'm writing the below hints mostly from reading the tool's manpages, because I have not used them ever (and I have done some debugging on bluetooth issues during the last 15 years... ;-)
I was scanning a README that I once wrote for myself to get my phone connected. Taking this as a starting point ...

/usr/bin/hciattach
A tool to connect serial UART Bluetooth devices. Newer tool is btattach.
Clear and mostly obvious.
Yes. Nobody on PC hardware has used this tool during the last 10 years.
/usr/bin/hciconfig /usr/bin/hcitool /usr/bin/sdptool
bluetoothd together with bluetoothctl
Is there a manual describing how to convert scripts using the old tools to describing how that would be done in the new?
no, but bluetoothctl has a "help" command in the interactive shell.
# hciconfig hci0 up
[bluetooth]# power on Changing power on succeeded Did you ever need this command the last 10 years? bluetoothd should have upped the controllers already.
What would I need to do to use the new tools?>
/usr/bin/hcidump
btmon (hcidump actually is the one that needs security patches that upstream no longer wants to include)
Clear
/usr/bin/rfcomm
bluetoothd together with bluetoothctl
Same as with the other tools: is there a walkthrough for conversion?
Not that I know of. Do you know hardware (which can still be bought) that talks raw rfcomm so I could test? All the common stuff (ppp over rfcomm to a phone or such) is handled by NetworkManager / ModemManager and similar tools. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
