Nordic UART and Linux

[nonsemipro]

Hej folks,

after quite some research on how to get Nordic UART and Linux together, here's as far as I got:

Discover the device with

hcitool lescan

And - in theory - connect to it with

gattool -b <device_address> -I

> connect

But since ble_app_uart example doesn't appear to be GATT compliant, I fail passing this step.

So any help on how to get that UART connection as simple as possible and PLEASE not on top of some proprietary "app" (KISS to all!) would be highly appreciated!

Best regards,

Christian

Hi.

So using nRF Connect for desktop to discover the device is not an option for you?

nRF Connect for desktop does support linux.

Best regards,
Joakim

Hi Christian,

did you try  "gattool -b <device_address> -t random -I" ?

@ Dmitry:

Yeaaah, that was exactly what i was missing, thanks a lot!

Great to know what happens behind the..

@ Joakim:

Curtains, although your answer wraps itself around the demanded principle of keeping it simple & stupid in the most appropriate manner ;)

Thanks as well!
