Trying to setup the Bluetooth on FreeBSD...

Hello to everyone.

with some coworkers we are trying to create the first mobile phone powered with FreeBSD. The keyboard that we have chosen for the moment is the Bluetooth LILYGO T-Watch and the BT dongle that I'm using now on my PC is this one :


Code: 
ubt0: <Broadcom Corp Bluetooth Dongle V2.0+EDR, class 224/1, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 19> on usbus1

I want to setup the bluetooth on FreeBSD to be able to use this keyboard on the FreeBSD / raspberry pi based mobile phone that will be born. I read everywhere that the configuration of the Bluetooth on FreeBSD is tricky. Ok,I want to try to tinker with it.
 
According with this post :

How I Configure Bluetooth Headphones on FreeBSD 13.1

I develop software around other humans so headphones are important
jrgsystems.com jrgsystems.com

this is what I did :

Code: 
marietto# pkg install iwmbt-firmware

marietto# service devd restart      

marietto# pkg install virtual_oss   

marietto# kldload cuse              

marietto# sysrc kld_list+="cuse"    

marietto# service hcsecd onestart   

marietto# service bluetooth start ubt0

marietto# hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry

Inquiry complete. Status: No error [00]

log :

ubt0: <Broadcom Corp Bluetooth Dongle V2.0+EDR, class 224/1, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 19> on usbus1
Cuse v0.1.37 @ /dev/cuse

Why are you installing Intel Wireless module BT firmware?

You mentioned you had Broadcom Bluetooth. I dont think you are loading the right bluetooth module.

Please show usbconfig for the device.

Something like this:
ugen0.5: <Dell Wireless 1802 Bluetooth 4.0 LE Qualcomm Atheros Communications> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)
Click to expand...
 
Because the guy on the post used this dongle :

dongle from : Amazon (Broadcom BCM20702A0)

and my dongle is Broadcom :

marietto# usbconfig
ugen1.5: <BCM2210 Bluetooth Broadcom Corp.> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

UPDATE : ok,he said that he bought a Broadcom dongle but he didn't use it . I didn't read well...
 
I would suggest you figure out the USB Bluetooth Dongle on amd64 and then carry the work to arm64. Never assume that things just work there.

Plus plug and play might not work the same so take notes what amd64 uses for modules. It should autoload them. Plug it in after boot and see what messages show is loading.

He said that he bought a Broadcom dongle but he didn't use it . I didn't read well...I'm doing exactly what you are suggesting.
I've modified the body of my post,please refresh the page. Before to try on the raspi,I'm trying to set it up on my PC.

For Broadcom BCM2033-based Bluetooth devices in FreeBSD, you'll use the ubtbcmfw(4) and ng_ubt(4) drivers, loading them with kldload or adding them to /boot/loader.conf for automatic loading at boot.


Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Driver: Broadcom BCM2033-based Bluetooth devices are supported by the ubtbcmfw(4) and ng_ubt(4) drivers.

  • Loading the Driver:
    • Manually: Use the command kldload ng_ubt to load the ng_ubt driver.

  • Automatically at Boot: Add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: ng_ubt_load="YES".

  • Starting Bluetooth: Use the command service bluetooth start ubt0 to start the Bluetooth stack.


  • Stopping Bluetooth: Use the command service bluetooth stop ubt0 to stop the Bluetooth stack.


  • Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues, check the console output and /var/log/messages for error messages related to driver loading.


  • Other Bluetooth Devices: For other Bluetooth USB dongles, the ng_ubt(4) driver is used. Serial and UART-based Bluetooth devices use ng_h4(4) and hcseriald(8).


  • Bluetooth Stack: The Bluetooth stack in FreeBSD is implemented using the Netgraph framework.


  • RFCOMM Profiles: In FreeBSD, profiles like serial port and network are implemented with ppp(8) and rfcomm_pppd(8), which converts RFCOMM Bluetooth connections into something PPP can use.


  • PPP Configuration: Before using any profile, create a new PPP label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
