Then there may be a problem with the dependencies of the loadable modules. At this time, reload the dependencies and soft restart:
sudo -i
depmod -a
reboot
Check whether it is currently the master device or the slave device:
linaro@bm1684:~$ hciconfig hci0 lm

Start the PulseAudio service as a media device:
linaro@bm1684:~$ pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
The steps to connect a Bluetooth device are as follows:
(1) Start the Bluetooth controller tool:
linaro@bm1684:~$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 20:57:9E:BA:7C:EC bm1684 [default]
(2) Power on the Bluetooth controller:
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
(3) Set the bluetooth agent as default:
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
(4) Open to be discovered by other Bluetooth devices:
[bluetooth]# discoverable on
Changing discoverable on succeeded
[CHG] Controller 20:57:9E:BA:7C:EC Discoverable: yes
(5) At this point, the EC-A1684XJD4 FD Bluetooth device can be found on the smartphone, and the phone can be paired after clicking:

Bluetooth Audio¶
Bluetooth audio is available using the bluez-alsa tool, a Bluetooth audio ALSA backend utility.
Install the bluez-alsa tool¶
EC-A1684XJD4 FD does not have this tool installed by default, and users need to compile and install it by themselves. Here are the steps for version 1.3.0, as follows:
(1) Download the source package: https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/releases/tag/v1.3.0
(2) Installation dependencies:
sudo apt install -y libasound2-dev libbluetooth-dev libglib2.0-dev libsbc-dev libfdk-aac-dev pkgconf
(3) Extract:
tar xzvf bluez-alsa-1.3.0.tar.gz
cd bluez-alsa-1.3.0
(4) Compile and install:
autoreconf --install
mkdir build && cd build
../configure --enable-aac --enable-debug
make && make install
Audio Test¶
After the installation is complete, you can connect a Bluetooth headset or speaker to play music. First, configure Bluetooth as the master device mode:
sudo hciconfig hci0 lm master
Enable the bluez-alsa service, note that the PulseAudio service and bluez-alsa are mutually exclusive:
# Remove the PulseAudio process
killall pulseaudio
# Open the bluez-alsa service for connecting to bluetooth
bluealsa -p a2dp-source -p hsp-ag &
To connect a Bluetooth headset:
[bluetooth]# connect 0C:AE:BD:9B:BB:5C
Attempting to connect to 0C:AE:BD:9B:BB:5C
[CHG] Device 0C:AE:BD:9B:BB:5C Connected: yes
Connection successful
[CHG] Device 0C:AE:BD:9B:BB:5C ServicesResolved: yes
[EDIFIER LolliPods 2022版]#
In addition, open a login and execute the following command to play the audio:
aplay -D bluealsa:HCI=hci0,DEV=0C:AE:BD:9B:BB:5C,PROFILE=a2dp example.wav
For more information about bluez-alsa, please refer to the source code repository: https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/tree/v1.3.0。
Send and receive files¶
Bluetooth file sending and receiving can use the OBEX protocol, which encapsulates information data with an object model and transmits applications with a session protocol specification.
The Obex service is needed in Linux. Firstly, connect the EC-A1684XJD4 FD to the Bluetooth device according to the previous steps, then start the Obex daemon, and set the receiving directory to /home/linaro/:
/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd -r /home/linaro -a -d &
Use obex push service¶
First configure Bluetooth as master device mode:
sudo hciconfig hci0 lm master
Find the channel for the Obex Push service on your mobile phone:
linaro@bm1684:~$ sdptool search --bdaddr A4:90:CE:DF:64:4F OPUSH
Searching for OPUSH on A4:90:CE:DF:64:4F ...
Service Name: OBEX Object Push
Service RecHandle: 0x1000d
Service Class ID List:
"OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 12
"OBEX" (0x0008)
Profile Descriptor List:
"OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
Version: 0x0102
Searching for OPUSH on A4:90:CE:DF:64:4F ...
Service Search failed: Invalid argument
You can see that the channel is 12, and then you can push the file to the phone:
linaro@bm1684:~$ obexftp --nopath --noconn --uuid none --bluetooth A4:90:CE:DF:64:4F --channel 12 --put sn.txt
Suppressing FBS.
Connecting..\done
Sending "sn.txt".../done
Disconnecting..-done
At this time, you can see the pop-up window whether to receive the file on the mobile phone.
Use obexctl interactive command line¶
The following demonstrates the steps for EC-A1684XJD4 FD to receive files:
(1) Start the obex service on the device side (slave device):
root@firefly:~# systemctl --user start obex
(2) Enter the interactive command line:
root@firefly:~# obexctl
[NEW] Client /org/bluez/obex
(3) Connect EC-A1684XJD4 FD (master device):
[obex]# connect 20:57:9E:BA:7C:EC
Attempting to connect to 20:57:9E:BA:7C:EC
...
[NEW] Session /org/bluez/obex/client/session2 [default]
[NEW] ObjectPush /org/bluez/obex/client/session2
(4) Send files:
[20:57:9E:BA:7C:EC]# send /root/test.txt
Attempting to send /root/test.txt to /org/bluez/obex/client/session1
[NEW] Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1
Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1
Status: queued
Name: test.txt
Size: 0
Filename: /root/test.txt
Session: /org/bluez/obex/client/session1
[CHG] Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1 Status: complete
(5) Check the test.txt file in the /home/linaro/ directory of EC-A1684XJD4 FD:
linaro@bm1684:~$ ls -l test.txt
-rw------- 1 linaro linaro 0 Nov 25 15:49 test.txt
