Bluetooth dongle BLED112 on Debian 10 is not working

475 views Asked by At

I just randomly found a Bluegiga BLED112 Bluetooth dongle and I tried to connect it to my Debian 10 laptop as a basic dongle for Bluetooth audio outs.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve all the issues I had, starting from the fact that the device is not fully listed once used lsusb and just a mere ID number - namely ID 2458:0001 - pops out and bluetooth or bluez helps weren't successful either.

This given, I tried to follow several of the guides you can find online, also by running available scripts, but again nothing worked.

So if it's possible, what should I do in order to run such a dongle for the basic use I mentioned above - i.e. just for connecting my stereo speakers to my computer?

Thanks

The BlueGiga BLED112 is not a regular Bluetooth USB dongle. It gives you a virtual com port that can be used to access an API that in turn acts as a BLE device.

It is ment to be used for development of IOT solutions.

Also it does not support Bluetooth Classic, it only supports Bluetooth Low Energy.
