Installation
For enabling Bluetooth on the WL500g the following is needed:
- a WL500g ;-)
- Precompiled binary, see attachement
- A USB flash disk
- A USB BT dongle
- A USB Hub (to be able to connect the USB BT & (flash-)disk simultaneously to the WL500g)
Extract the affix-release.zip file and be sure to preserve the paths, it will look as follows (why can't I add images :-():
affix-release
bin
kernel
drivers
affix
net
affix
etc
affix
devfsconf.d
modutils
pcmciainclude
openobex
lib
shareaclocal
usr
include
affix
On the USB disk make a directory for incoming and outgoing Obex file transfer files:
mkdir /incoming
Be sure to insert a USB BT dongle in the box and start Bluetooth services using
telnet, by issuing the following command:
/mnt/usbfs/affix-release/bin/start_bt
Everything should start up now. Test the Affix stack by entering the following command in a telnet session:
btctl discovery
