I am confusing in hcitool because "lescan" is working fine but "lecc" is giving me "time out".
Please help me if any one have proper steps for "How to connect device using hcitool".
I don't want to use gatttool or bluetoothctl tool.
My aim is to connect to take reference of hcitool code and write my own code to connect with ble sensor.
If any one have working peace of the code which is connecting to ble device using "hci_le_create_conn". please explain me here.
Is there any authentication needed? If yes please give me hci related api.

hcitool is one of the eight tools that have been marked as deprecated by the BlueZ maintainers. The closest replacement would probably be btmgmt
The general guidance is that there are better API's to use to interact with BlueZ as HCI bypasses the Bluetooth daemon running on the system.
As you are looking at coding this, then the recommended API's are either Management Interface:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/mgmt-api.txt
Or the D-Bus API:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/adapter-api.txt
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/device-api.txt
You don't say which language you want to code this in, but most languages have DBus libraries that would help. Here is an example doing it with Python:
import pydbus
# Setup of device specific values
dev_id = 'DE:82:35:E7:CE:BE'
# DBus object paths
bluez_service = 'org.bluez'
adapter_path = '/org/bluez/hci0'
device_path = f"{adapter_path}/dev_{dev_id.replace(':', '_')}"
bus = pydbus.SystemBus()
adapter = bus.get(bluez_service, adapter_path)
device = bus.get(bluez_service, device_path)
# Assume device has been paired already so can use connect
device.Connect()

I am using a Fire TV Remote Control Version 1, the old one which has no volume and power buttons.
What I want to achieve is, receive audio samples from the build in mic of this remote.
I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with debian
Linux raspi4box 5.4.79-v7l+ #1373 SMP Mon Nov 23 13:27:40 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
I have paired the Remote with bluetoothctl successfully and can read the key events.
When the Mic button is pressed, i want to establish a connect to the device and read
audio. I can receive the Mic button events correctly so far.

As You can see, the Remote exposes a Serial Port Profile.
I can connect to the service with:
sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm1 FC:65:DE:E8:E8:FD 1
...
Connected /dev/rfcomm1 to FC:65:DE:E8:E8:FD on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup
I can use a teminal programm on /dev/rfcomm1 which comes up with a request from the remote:
AT+BRSF=253
At this point you should be able to answer the request and finally initiate the
recording on channel 6.
At this point i am stuck, because i get not further response
from the device.

Is there any way to get to know bluetooth pair-able & discover-able status such as pair-able On or Off in raspberrypi-3 using python 3.6 or linux command ?
I am using bluetoothctl functionality , through that i can change the pair-able & discover-able state from On to Off vise versa ,but unable to get current state.
if any way to get it , kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance.
btmgmt can do the work.

There is this library: https://pypi.org/project/btmgmt/ .
According to the page, it was tested with Python 3.7 .
I am attempting to implement hands-free telephony on my board, I successfully connected my android phone to the board via bluetooth module in phone and media audio sharing mode.
The chip i use is Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174. I have pulseaudio 11.1, bluetoothctl: 5.49, and ofono 1.22 setup on my board.
I was able to play media files via bluetooth by this. But when a call connected the bluetooth speaker works properly, i.e. I can hear what is said on the other end of call via my headphone, but what I say is not heard at the other end( I guess there is some error in getting the data from mic or in transmitting data from bluetooth device). I get the following log message keeps appearing many times as soon as a call is initiated
"***Bluetooth: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0***
***Bluetooth: hci0 sending frame failed (-27)***
***Bluetooth: hci0 sending frame failed (-27)***"
The microphone on the phone is also not functioning(after bluetooth connection is established).
Also in *hciconfig -a* it is found as follows

$ hciconfig hci0 up
$ pactl list sources short
$ pactl list sinks short
$ bluetoothctl
agent on
scan on
scan off

connect<address>
My hcitool connections gives the following
$ hcitool con

No SCO connection is shown here.
How can I solve this and implement proper hands-free telephony?
I am using Bluez 5.50; 5.48 was the version acquire-write became officially (non-experimentally) supported. Am I using the acquire-write / write feature properly?
On my Raspberry Pi Zero W:
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on

On my Arduino Nano connected to HM-10:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
delay(10);
if (Serial.available())
{
char c = Serial.read();
Serial.println("Read value");
}
}
I use the iOS app named "Serial" which connects to my HM-10. I send the letter h over and read "Read value" on the arduino serial monitor. I do this directly before and after using the raspberry pi, on the same arduino serial monitor. The raspberry pi notifications never come thru. Yes, I am certain it is the same HM-10. It is the only HM-10 I have powered on in BLE range, and I cannot connect to the UUID while my phone is connected. (Actually, I submit connect B8:27:E8:72:33:7A to the raspberry pi, and keeps trying, and then disconnect from phone, and rpi automatically connects).
Thanks in advance!
When using gatt services with bluetoothctl, leave off the parentheses and just use:
write 0x68
acquire-write returns a file descriptor that can be used for writing to the GATT characteristic, usage of write will be locked. so either use acquire-write (which requires a write-without-response flag) or use write.
void WriteValue(array{byte} value, dict options)
Issues a request to write the value of the
characteristic.
Possible options: "offset": Start offset
"device": Device path (Server only)
"link": Link type (Server only)
"prepare-authorize": boolean Is prepare
authorization
request
Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.Failed
org.bluez.Error.InProgress
org.bluez.Error.NotPermitted
org.bluez.Error.InvalidValueLength
org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
org.bluez.Error.NotSupported
fd, uint16 AcquireWrite(dict options) [optional]
Acquire file descriptor and MTU for writing. Usage of
WriteValue will be locked causing it to return
NotPermitted error.
For server the MTU returned shall be equal or smaller
than the negotiated MTU.
For client it only works with characteristic that has
WriteAcquired property which relies on
write-without-response Flag.
To release the lock the client shall close the file
descriptor, a HUP is generated in case the device
is disconnected.
Note: the MTU can only be negotiated once and is
symmetric therefore this method may be delayed in
order to have the exchange MTU completed, because of
that the file descriptor is closed during
reconnections as the MTU has to be renegotiated.
Possible options: "device": Object Device (Server only)
"MTU": Exchanged MTU (Server only)
"link": Link type (Server only)
Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.Failed
org.bluez.Error.NotSupported
Environment: Bluez 5.14, Linux 3.1, USB Plugable BLE radio, TI BLE keyfob (CC2541 dev kit)
Linux Device <---hci----> USB BLE Radio
We enabled key press events on TI keyfob using gatttool and started to listen for events
gatttool -b [hardware ID] --char-write-req -a [handle] -n [value] --listen
(gatttool -b 90:59:AF:09:E1:5D --char-write-req -a 0x0048 -n 0100 --listen)
Pressing buttons on the keyfob and see these events
Notification handle = 0x0047 value: 02
Notification handle = 0x0047 value: 00
Notification handle = 0x0047 value: 02
Hence we can receive the key press events from the Keyfob through the Bluez stack
Objective:
We need to catch the GATT Disconnect Event i.e. When we remove the battery from the keyfob sooner or later the GATT connection is broken. We would like to receive a disconnect event from Bluez stack. Bluez has this capability since Android supports GATT disconnect event which is built over Bluez.
Question:
How do we receive the GATT Disconnect event using Bluez command line hcitool/gatttool or Bluez API.
Watch for G_IO_HUP and shutdown gracefully.
