Testing GSM <-> BT

Basics: We need to tell audio codec to route sound from GSM chip to BT chip. Codec is controlled by ALSA and mixer settings.

Prerequisites: BT device must be paired before the operation.

Note: 00:13:17:78:7B:A3 is BT MAC of my headset, modify accordingly.

Step one: powering on bluetooth, setting up bluetoothd, pairing

Set /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf like this:

# SCO routing. Either PCM or HCI (in which case audio is routed to/from ALSA)   
# Defaults to HCI                                                               
SCORouting=PCM                                                                  

Then

echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on
sleep 1
bluetoothd
hciconfig hci0 up

Do this ONCE: use simple-agent from here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#Pair to pair the device (or pair in any other valid way).

Connect to the headset:

BTADAPTER=`dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter | tail -1 | sed 's/^.*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/'`
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply $BTADAPTER/dev_00_13_17_78_7B_A3 org.bluez.Headset.Connect

Test: "hcitool con" should say:

Connection
	< ACL 00:13:17:78:7B:A3 handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER 

Test2:

BTADAPTER=`dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter | tail -1 | sed 's/^.*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/'`
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply $BTADAPTER/dev_00_13_17_78_7B_A3 org.bluez.Headset.Connect

should say: Error org.bluez.Error.AlreadyConnected: Already Connected

method return sender=:1.18 -> dest=:1.292 reply_serial=2

Step two: make a call

Call to the phone and answer (or place a call, whichever is cheaper).

Step three: load ALSA settings to switch codec "mode" to GSM <=> BT

Wait till frameworkd sets its statefile and then overwrite it with your own:

alsactl -f /usr/share/shr/scenarii/gsmbluetooth.state restore
amixer sset "Capture Left Mixer" "Analogue Mix Right"
amixer sset "Capture Left Mixer" "Analogue Mix Left"

(last two lines due to kernel bug).

Issue dbus call to start exchanging audio between GSM and BT:

BTADAPTER=`dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter | tail -1 | sed 's/^.*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/'`
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez --print-reply $BTADAPTER/dev_00_13_17_78_7B_A3 org.bluez.Headset.Play

Set bluetooth IIS to 8000 rate and keep it with a sleep in Python:

python set_pcm.py

Where the set_pcm.py is:

import alsaaudio
import time

pcm_play = alsaaudio.PCM( alsaaudio.PCM_PLAYBACK, alsaaudio.PCM_NONBLOCK, "hw:0,1" )
pcm_play.setchannels(1)
pcm_play.setrate(8000)
pcm_play.setformat(alsaaudio.PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE)
pcm_play.setperiodsize(500000)

pcm_cap = alsaaudio.PCM( alsaaudio.PCM_CAPTURE, alsaaudio.PCM_NONBLOCK, "hw:0,1" )
pcm_cap.setchannels(1)
pcm_cap.setrate(8000)
pcm_cap.setformat(alsaaudio.PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE)
pcm_cap.setperiodsize(500000)

while True:
    time.sleep(999) # wait till user quits this nasty program

Now BT should work. Don't touch the on-screen sliders though, because it will change ALSA settings and you'll lose BT connection.

After that you should have the following command output:

root@om-gta02 ~ $ hcitool con
Connections:
	< SCO 00:13:17:78:7B:A3 handle 45 state 1 lm SLAVE 
	< ACL 00:13:17:78:7B:A3 handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER
