Hi,

ive been trying to get a logitech bluetooth dongle to work. It has 2 modes HID mode and HCI mode, I want to change it to HCI mode so that the OS recognises it as a bluetooth module (i hope).

I found some linux tools that change the mode to HCI. It seems it is just a HID report that is sent that switches it. The code contains all the required values.

Unfourtunately I have no idea how to program in c/obj-c, or how to use the IO/Kit. I have read all the tutorials on apples site about interacting with it but it is beyond me.

Could anyone write a tool that sends the required HID report to this logitech device?

Any help would be good!

here is my original post -> http://forums.macnn.com/90/mac-os-x/253506/hid2hci-on-os-x/
and the linux drivers that contain the tool -> http://www.bluez.org/

Thanks

I don't know how to do this. Also, without the dongle how would I know I was successful?

Maybe you could create a partition and install Linux, then run the program?

Unfourtunately, the program needs to be run every time the computer is started up as the dongle resets to HID mode!
