[BRLTTY] alva bc640 not workingoneither usb or bluetooth

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello,
i have a alva bc640 with firmware 2.10.0 BT 1.20.0

The display works via usb and bluetooth.

In brltty.conf i have the following line

braille-device usb:,bluetooth:00:A0:96:29C2:B2

With the command

hcitool dev

you can look if you find the bluetooth of the display
with the command

bluetooth-agent --adapter hci0 0000 00:A0:96:29:C2:B2

you will create a pairing with the alva bc640.
I have done the above command only one time.

You can look in the software of the bc640, if bluetooth is enabled.

Regards
Dietmar
