Bluetooth Sockets

[Crhiss]

Hi there,

first of all i don't know if this is a problem for Windows Host or Linux Guest category so i'll post it here for the beginning.

Description: I have to virtualize a system that consists of a basis and a server, for now the server doesn't bother us. The basis is a router with debian on it. The task of the basis is to gather information via bluetooth from several sensors like blood pressure. I have the code thats fully working on the actual system but as i virtualized it an tried to run the basis station it gets me several error messages which seem to come from problems by creating or using bluetooth sockets.

So for now, is there anything special with VirtualBox and bluetooth sockets that i have to take care of? I ask this before i post the whole code because its A LOT and i kind of have to shorten it because of legal issues.

Greetings,
Christopher

If the BT devices are accessed via a USB port it should work, if a specific stack driver is used it won't work since that part is not virtualized by VBox. If possible you should look into 'sharing' the BT device from the Host possibly by making your own driver communicating via tcpip. ea.: http://www.google.nl/#hl=nl&source=hp&b ... 3573a840b5
