I am trying to test rfcomm_server.c and rfcomm_client.c (from the link https://github.com/balle/bluetooth-snippets) on my new Bluetooth dongle.
When I run rfcomm_client, it exits on connect giving the error "connect: Host is down". I am running the client with baddr of hci0.
However, "hciconfig" shows the device is up (Mac address changed to XX for the post)
hci0:
Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:706 acl:0 sco:0 events:48 errors:0
TX bytes:1503 acl:0 sco:0 commands:44 errors:0
"hcitool scan" returns the address of one of the paired devices. So I believe the dongle is up. However I am not sure why the connect returns with the Host Down error.
Appreciate any help from the forum.
