#432184 HowTo: connect a Bluetooth keyboard in OpenPLi 4 on ET10000
Posted by

Hi,
yesterday I made a few tests with a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard on my ET10000 and OpenPli 4.
My Bluetooth stick is from Ultron (don't know the exact type) and I connected it to one of the rear USB ports.
I just wanted to let you know my findings here.
First I had to install the Bluetooth drivers and testtools from the repository:

After a reboot start the Bluetooth daemon:
root@et10000:~# bluetoothd
Make the keyboard discoverable by pressing the reset button and scan for it:
root@et10000:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:07:61:9C:E2:27 Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro(TM)
Then pair the device:
root@et10000:~# /usr/lib/bluez4/test/simple-agent hci0 00:07:61:9C:E2:27 RequestPinCode (/org/bluez/603/hci0/dev_00_07_61_9C_E2_27) Enter PIN Code: 0000 < also enter 0000 on the keyboard and press Return > Release New device (/org/bluez/603/hci0/dev_00_07_61_9C_E2_27)
Some of the testtools are not working out of the box so i had to modify them.
In the files test-device, test-discovery and test-manager
replace
from gi.repository import GObject
with
import gobject as GObject
Now we are able to mark the device as "trusted" so it could connect automatically next time:
/usr/lib/bluez4/test/test-device trusted 00:07:61:9C:E2:27 yes
Use the monitor tool to see if the device connects properly:
root@et10000:~# /usr/lib/bluez4/test/monitor-bluetooth
{Device.PropertyChanged} [/org/bluez/578/hci0/dev_00_07_61_9C_E2_27] Connected = 1

Here is the output of /var/log/messages while doing this:

I could use the keyboard without problems. Even after switching off and on it connected automatically.
Controlling the box only with the keyboard doesn't make very much sense because of the missing color buttons (red, green, blue, yellow) but i helps a lot when you have to enter much text.
One problem is that there is no start script in /etc/init.d for the bluetoothd. After a reboot you have to start it manually again.
If someone has a startup script or is able to write one, please let me know.
The integrated touchpad mouse did not work. I don't know what the problem is exactly:
Jul 1 23:12:12 et10000 user.err kernel: hid-generic 0005:046D:B30A.0001: unknown main item tag 0x0
I will try to connect a separate Bluetooth mouse next weekend. Looks like a mouse is only useful with the browser/HbbTV anyway, correct?
