This page will give you all the informations needed to have a running Bluetooth configuration on your Armadeus board.

Hardware

First you have to get a compatible hardware. Currently there are 3 solutions:

  • Get a Wireless extension board from armadeus systems (only available for APF27)
  • Get a cheap USB<->Bluetooth adapter (requires an USB Host port)
  • Get a RS232<->Bluetooth adapter
