* BLE Support [#n6410641]
>
Based upon a Japanese blog “[[Try the newest bluez on Armadillo-IoT:https://users.atmark-techno.com/blog/750/1552]],” this article explains how to add Bluetooth Low Energy support.~
~
Bluetooth adapter used here is [[Logitec LBT-UAN04C2BK:http://www.logitec.co.jp/products/bluetooth/lbtuan04c2bk/]], which is a Bluetooth 4.0 support USB adapter (Sold in Japan).~
** Customizing Kernel [#r7795aa3]
>
Specify “vender/Product” by make menuconfig~

Make Bluetooth effective by putting check marks on the certain parts of Linux Kernel Configuration. Please look at right below for the details.
Linux Kernel Configuration
[*] Networking support --->
--- Bluetooth subsystem support
<*> RFCOMM protocol support 　<-- Mark it for being effective
[*] RFCOMM TTY support 　 <-- Mark it for being effective
<*> BNEP protocol support <-- Mark it for being effective
[*] Multicast filter support <-- Mark it for being effective
[*] Protocol filter support <-- Mark it for being effective
<*> HIDP protocol support <-- Mark it for being effective
Bluetooth device drivers --->
<*> HCI USB driver <-- Mark it for being effective
** Configuration of UserLand [#pb63f5f6]
>
At this time, Java is not used. Since Java generally occupies a lot space in UserLand, Java is NOT included. Since atmark dist is deployed at ramfs, please remove other unnecessary applications and files, using “make menuconfig.” (Available memory will increase if unneeded applications and files are removed as many as possible.)~
atmark@atde5:~/atmark-dist$ make menuconfig
Userland Configuration
Miscellaneous Applications --->
[ ] java 　<-- Remove check mark
** Cross compile for Bluez [#k79519a0]
>
Build Bluez.~
Down load the source code of Bluez and extract it. (As of November 15, 2015, the newest version is 5.36.)~
atmark@atde5:~$ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-5.36.tar.xz
atmark@atde5:~$ tar Jxf bluez-5.36.tar.xz
~
Install the local packages of libical to ATDES.~
atmark@atde5:~$ wget http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libi/libical/libical0_0.48-2_armel.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ dpkg-cross -v --build --arch armel libical0_0.48-2_armel.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ sudo dpkg -i libical0-armel-cross_0.48-2_all.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ wget http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libi/libical/libical-dev_0.48-2_armel.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ dpkg-cross -v --build --arch armel libical-dev_0.48-2_armel.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ sudo dpkg -i libical-dev-armel-cross_0.48-2_all.deb
~
Execute configure.~
atmark@atde5:~$ cd bluez-5.36/
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ ./configure --build=i686 --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-threads --enable-library \
--disable-udev --disable-systemd --prefix=/usr
~
Execute make.~
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ make
~
Execute make install, and install it to ROM image directory of atmark dist.~
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ make install DESTDIR=/home/atmark/atmark-dist/romfs/
~
Remove unnecessary files such as documents.~
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ rm -rf /home/atmark/atmark-dist/romfs/usr/share/man/
~
Manually install gatttool, which is not installed by make install.
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ cp attrib/gatttool /home/atmark/atmark-dist/romfs/usr/bin/
**Installing D-bus [#y1557779]
>
Download D-bus deb package.
atmark@atde5:~/bluez-5.36$ cd
atmark@atde5:~$ wget http://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/pool/main/d/dbus/dbus_1.6.8-1+deb7u1_armel.deb
~
Extract D-bus deb package in ROM image directory of atmark dist.~
atmark@atde5:~$ rm -rf atmark-dist/romfs/usr/share/doc
atmark@atde5:~$ rm -rf atmark-dist/romfs/usr/share/man
~
Including init-funcions, which D-bus package is depending, extract lsb-base deb package in ROM image directory of atmark dist. Then, remove unnecessary documents.
atmark@atde5:~$ wget http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lsb/lsb-base_4.1+Debian8+deb7u1_all.deb
atmark@atde5:~$ dpkg -x lsb-base_4.1+Debian8+deb7u1_all.deb atmark-dist/romfs/
atmark@atde5:~$ rm -rf atmark-dist/romfs/usr/share/doc
~
Add user/group, which execute D-sub daemon.~
~
-Adding user~
atmark@atde5:~$ vi atmark-dist-20151026/vendors/AtmarkTechno/Armadillo-Box-WS1/etc/passwd
At the end of file, please add line listed below
messagebus:x:101:105::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
~
-Adding group~
atmark@atde5:~$ vi atmark-dist-20151026/vendors/AtmarkTechno/Armadillo-Box-WS1/etc/group
At the end of file, please add line listed below.

** Recreating image [#yf1b85a5]
>
Complete the process so far, add BLE to Kernel and UserLand. Now, create the images of those Kernel and UserLand, which include BLE supports.
atmark@atde5:~$ cd atmark-dist
atmark@atde5:~/atmark-dist$ make romfs
atmark@atde5:~/atmark-dist$ make image
Please make sure that the files, which are located at the below atmark-dist/images/, are updated.
** Checking operation [#mab100ea]
>
Please rewrite Kernel and UserLand to newly created ones. To rewrite the images, please follows the directions, which is explained in [[this page (written in Japanese):http://manual.atmark-techno.com/armadillo-box-ws1/armadillo-box-ws1_product_manual_ja-1.0.0/ch12.html#sct.update_image-with-tftpdl]]. This method is the fastest way to rewrite the images if Armadillo-Box WS1 is connected to a netowrk.

~
Booting the new Kernel and UserLand, insert the USB bluetooth adapter to a USB port.~
Check that the USB Bluetooth adapter is recognized.~

Doing scan correctly, obtain the list.~
Using gatttool, connect one of the devices in the list by interactive mode.
