I’ve looked trough the forums but I cant seem to find anything related to bluetooth hardware.
what would happen if I for example took a routerboard hex-s, flashed it with ROS7 and put a generic bluetooth dongle in it.
Would that work or does routeros only has very specific bluetooth drivers onboard?
And yes I’ve looked everywhere but I don’t have a bluetooth dongle laying around, otherwise I would’ve tested it already.
I’ve already tried it with a CHR 7.1 with vmware workstation and thats not working. From vmware I’ve shared my onboard bluetooth hardware which actually shows up in RouterOS but nothing within the bluetooth menu.
Anybody could shed some light on this?
I actually don’t know. If for example, I would brick and netinstall a knot would there be a specific routerOS download for KNOT? I cant seem to find one on the download page. So my guess is that there are generic or very specific bluetooth drivers embedded in RouterOS 7.
RouterOS generally includes only selected drivers, not everything supported by underlying Linux. For example, you can’t just plug in any wifi card (where physically possible) and expect it to work. Your best chance is to find what hardware KNOT uses, and get something close to that (chipset, manufacturer). And even then there are no guarantees. You can try to ask support, if they would be willing to share some info.
