Enrico_MenottiThis morning I was talking to freemangordon about issues with the N900 bluetooth. The problem was in connection to my BMW. I found the BMW site for downloading updates, but nothing there for my car. On the other hand, sicelo pointed me to bug #8246, so I tried to have a look at the logs, as explained in post 3: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246#c3.00:04
Enrico_MenottiIt's cold and snowy outside, so I started trying to pair with my Macbook Pro. Pairing seems to succeed, but after a while the connection breaks down. Looking at /var/log/syslog, I noticed this line:00:07
Enrico_MenottiJan 23 23:36:51 Nokia-N900 kernel: [105592.367492] hci_h4p hci_h4p: firmware: requesting bcmfw.bin00:07
Enrico_MenottiI googled hci_h4p, and found00:08
Enrico_Menottihttps://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/435678/00:08
Enrico_Menottiwhere I read the names of pali and sre.00:09
Enrico_MenottiNow I don't understand clearly what's going on: is a driver missing? Is it available for Fremantle?00:11
Enrico_MenottiOk, I googled also bcmfw.bin, and found00:16
Enrico_Menottihttps://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages/bt-firmware00:16
Enrico_MenottiActually, I have bt-firmware (0.21-rc3+0m5), and /lib/firmware/bcmfw.bin.00:16
Enrico_MenottiSo what's the meaning of the above line "requesting bcmfw.bin"? It's just the kernel loading the firmware, or so?00:17
Enrico_MenottiWith hcidump -XV, at the time the N900 - Mac bluetooth connection breaks I read:00:21
Enrico_Menotti< HCI Command: Disconnect (0x01|0x0006) plen 300:21
Enrico_Menotti    handle 11 reason 0x1300:21
Enrico_Menotti    Reason: Remote User Terminated Connection00:21
Enrico_MenottiSo the N900 understands that my Mac terminates the connection?00:22
bencohEnrico_Menotti: "requesting" means kernel is trying to load firmware from filesystem, yes09:47
bencohas for your hcidump output, it's most probably that your mac terminates the connection for any reason, yes09:48

brolin_empeyRegarding http://gearburn.com/2017/04/3-smartphones-that-feature-e-ink-displays/ : apparently they all have a difficult to remove battery. :-/  Does a “smartphone” with an electronic ink/paper display and an easily removable battery exist as a product?11:34
