====== LXC Bluetooth Image ======

This article decribes the usage of the Bluetooth BLE 4.2 interface on a NB800 router insinde of a LXC virtualisation container.

===== Requirements =====
Beside of a NB800 Router, you will need the correct LXC Container file to run Bluetooth on your router. This file can be downloaded [[https://share.netmodule.com/router/public/virt/debian_jessie_bluetooth.tar.xz|here]] (debian-jessie-bluetooth.tar.xz; Size 54.6MB; Checksum b3907135c41721a70cfbd72cc2873cda). 

Beside that, you will need a virtualization licence to run LXC container. You can [[http://wiki.netmodule.com/faq/support|Contact support]] for further informations.
===== Configuration =====
  * If you are using Windows to set up your router, use f.e. WinSCP to connect to your routers file system.
  * The standard IP is 192.168.1.1, the user name is root, for password just hit enter as you didn't set up a password yet. On your router, navigate to /mnt/storage0/lxc.
  * Take the Debian-Jessie-bluetooth.tar-file you downloaded and copy it in this folder.
  * Open a SSH or Telnet program or use your root shell and connect to your router. Again, the IP is 192.168.1.1, the user is root, for password just press enter.

  * To navigate to the folder where you uploaded your image file to, enter
<code>
cd /mnt/storage0/lxc
</code>

  * Enter 
<code>
mkdir guest0
</code>
to create a new guest0 folder for your new LXC container.

<code>
tar -xJvf debian-jessie-bluetooth.tar.gz -C /mnt/storage0/lxc/guest0
</code>
  * Extract the tar file to the guest0 folder.

  * To add a new virtualization profile in the router GUI, go to System - Virtualization

  * Enable the Administrative Status and click on the Plus button to add a new guest for LXC Containers.

  * Set up this LXC config for your needs, make sure that you enable the BLUEZ1 module in the Devices menu.

===== Container =====
  * Normally, the LXC container is started automaticly when you create a new guest in the router GUI. To check this up, enter
<code>
lxc-info -n guest0
</code>
<konsole>
~ $ lxc-info -n guest0
Name:           guest0
State:          RUNNING
PID:            3072
IP:             192.168.240.1
CPU use:        48.65 seconds
Memory use:     8.51 MiB
Link:           virt0
 TX bytes:      1.42 KiB
 RX bytes:      1.37 KiB
 Total bytes:   2.79 KiB
~ $
</konsole>

  * If the container is not running, enter
<code>
/etc/init.d/virt start
</code>
to start it manually.

  * To enter the LXC container type
<code>
lxc-attach -n guest0
</code>


<konsole>
~ $ lxc-attach -n guest0
root@jessie:~# 
</konsole>


===== Testing =====
  * In the container, enter
<code>
cd
</code>
to change to the containers root folder and
<code>
./start-bluetooth.sh
</code>

<konsole>
root@jessie:~# ./start-bluetooth.sh
Found a Texas Instruments' chip!
Firmware file : /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/TIInit_11.8.32.bts
Loaded BTS script version 1
texas: changing baud rate to 3000000, flow control to 1
Device setup complete
</konsole>

to start the bluetooth starting script.
If everything works correctly, you will get a confirmation like in the picture.
  * When everything is set up correctly, for example, you can use commands like
<code>
hcitool scan
</code>
<konsole>
root@jessie:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        6C:4D:73:E3:31:AA       Phone
      
</konsole>

to scan your surrounding for active bluetooth devices.
