Second Testing stage

These were the first evidences that bluetooth could actually work in Haiku , that was the result of a first code testing after the coding of the driver. Now finally I could compile the three entities which are to compose the young haiku bluetooth stack:

H2 Transport(Hardware independency):

$HAIKU/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/h2/h2generic

Partial HCI Layer(Network establishment and handling):

$HAIKU/system/servers/bluetoth_server

UserLand kit interaction(Bluetooth Kit):
$HAIKU/system/lib/libbluetooth.so


At the first run the server runs in Haiku without crashing for the moment, so lets see how all this parts get on well together... test again...

BT Boosted

Some weeks ago I requested in haikuware about the possibility of someone having any old RAM simms for a Pentium 2 or 3.

Since my AMD literally burnt, I was dealing with 128MB RAM pentium 3 for the development, and the build process was often failing due lack of memory. Moreover, the heater was not really doing a good job... as the CPU temperature was around 60ºC therefore I had to even underclock it, delaying all stuff. (Anyway I am the kind of persons using always old hardware)

But today I got a nice packet from Canada !!! two 128 RAM sims which I inmediatelly plugged:



64+64+128+128 And now even its possible to use actually the system while buidling!
no need anymore to kill even the debug_server for saving memory:D




THANKS DENNIS(theNerd)

To update a bit the status of the bluetooth project: The USB tranport driver Driver and kit are currently comitted & building in the Haiku the svn and currently I am tailoring the bluetooth server, expecting commiting and the end of the week for starting the test of the whole system.
