There are a few ways to interconnect them with BT. It is easiest to describe things in terms of profiles (and easier to search for). - If you need just bare connectivity, i.e. the wireless equivalent of a serial port, you can use SPP. (Serial Port Profile). In the BlueZ docs, this is done by the rfcomm tool which can be controlled by a bash script. Once the link is made, it is for most purposes a serial port. - If you want IP connectivity, you can run PPP on top of the SPP stuff (this is mostly the DUN profile without the AT commands). This is purely a point to point link. -As mentioned in the response, there is the PAN profile. This is almost eithernet like. It sounds like you are asking for general information but is there a specific thing you want to do (share files, share small bits of info, etc)? -- Hunyue Yau http://www.hy-research.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
