15 No its the fact that bluez 5 has been redesigned to fit in more with the
16 systemd world.
17
18 it works if:
19
20 remove rfcomm using rc-update
21 /etc/init.d/bluetoothctl restart (get rid of any existing config)
22
23 bluetoothctl
24 power on
25 scan on
26 agent on
27 default-agent
28 trust [MAC ADDRESS OF CLIENT]
29 pair [MAC ADDRESS OF CLIENT]
30 enter PIN when requested
31 wait for "Connected: no"
32 exit
33
34 After this you should have an rfcomm channel available to the client. I
35 have the above in an expect script as bluetoothctl has no inate remote
36 controllability capabilities. No separate pairing app or rfcomm init
37 script needed.
