I'm also using the official v0.7.5 SD image and the N6235 (after adding the drivers for it to the official image).
Running bluetoothd also seems to work for me. Now I can pair other devices to my Galileo successfully, but...
How do I send/receive data on the bluetooth connection from linux on the Galileo? To start with, I want to use an app on the Mac, or my phone to just send simple ASCII text (over Bluetooth) and read it on the Galileo. I will then interpret the text as commands to control motors on the motor shield I have attached to the Galileo.
Eventually, I want to use a Wii remote to control the motors (again over Bluetooth).
I saw mention of sdptool, and I see that it can be used to add services (including SP and WIIMOTE).
I also saw mention of rfcomm which seems to allow one to "bind" a device (like /dev/rfcomm0) to the Bluetooth module.
They both seem relevant, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use them to accomplish my goals.
Any ideas or pointers on how to do this?
