In the past weeks ProFUSION coworker Gustavo Padovan was hacking on bluetooth support for Enlightenment ecosystem using the BlueZ stack.

This module follows my previous ConnMan module and is built upon the same base. Since BlueZ and ConnMan are both developed by almost the same developer group, the DBus APIs are very similar. The current module is quite simple, yet useful and allows pairing devices. The idea is to further extend it to be a full Bluetooth Agent, allowing different authentication and authorization methods, maybe go even further and send files using the OBEX protocol.

The infrastructure is available as ebluez inside e_dbus, so it is easily accessible to all EFL applications. The infrastructure exposes just a handful methods that were required by the module, but it is easily extensible as most methods are similar and the helpers do most of work, just need to specify the method names and convert types.

ProFUSION is also working on oFono support. Stay tuned to see the module João Paulo is cooking, the e_dbus code is already in SVN.
