>can't we add this to README.Bluetooth???

One of the problems here is that each distribution tends to name its packages 
differently. I suppose we could get around this by givingf a few examples of 
possible package names.

See below for my answer.

>i added the name "Esys-1338" in /var/lib/bluetooth/HOSTADR/names,

You shouldn't be modifying this file. It's updated by the system whenever a 
Bluetooth scan is done. Firstly, it's better to let the system ensure that the 
data therein is correct. Secondly, if you and the system update it at the same 
time then it could become corrupt. Thirdly, if you add data prematurely to this 
file then the system may make assumptions regarding the presence of other data 
which could be incorrect.

>and created the pincodes.

That's the only file in that directory you should ever modify.

>if you have some hint, it would be interesting to have it too in README.Bluetooth.

Okay.

This means that the device wasn't offering any service on the Bluetooth channel 
being used by brltty's eu driver. One possibility is that the device wasn't 
switched to Bluetooth mode. Another is that the eu driver is using the wrong 
channel. Please send us (an attachment is fine) the output from an sdptool 
browse of the device's Bluetooth address.
