10 years agoHi,
--- Quote Start --- I want to implement Bluetooth in Altera DE2-115. The board has a usb host (cy7c67200). I'm considering to use a bluetooth usb dongle to plug into this usb host to receive data from Arduino (which has a Bluetooth module with XBee-shield). --- Quote End --- It's easy from the kernel side, if you can use the USB host. To install the Bluetooth drivers, select in the menuconfig like
Networking support --->
<*> Bluetooth subsystem support --->
-- Bluetooth subsystem support
<*> L2CAP protocol support
<*> SCO links support
<*> RFCOMM protocol support
RFCOMM TTY support
<*> BNEP protocol support
Multicast filter support
Protocol filter support
<*> HIDP protocol support
Bluetooth device drivers --->
<*> HCI USB driver
<*> HCI BCM203x USB driver
. But from the software side, you need many things, dbus, bluez-utils,and python etc. I tested two Bluetooth USB dongles, CSR8510 and Broadcom BCM20702A0 on DE2-115 boards, but the combination CSR8510+CY7C67200 will not work well. Later, I will upload my test case on Altera Wiki. Kazu
