We (Philips Semiconductors) are using the WL500g as test vehicle for our MIPS systems to verify code. During these exercises we ported the Affix Bluetooth stack to the WL500g. The actual code is too big to fit in the current firmware (above 4MB), so you need an external flash disk. Since also a USB Bluetooth dongle is needed, you need a compatible USB hub.
For more information go to:
Affix on WL500g
Please read the limitations:
- Binaries are statically compiled, so larger than actually needed.
- A specific libc.so.6 file is needed simply because the WL500g version is too limited
- PAN interface seems not to be routed through the WL500g. As a BT PAN client it is possible to access the internal webpage of the WL500g. When a tcpdump is made the box claims that “source route failed”. I have no clue yet what is causing this problem.
The last problem is causing me headaches. I haven't found a solution yet.
Last remark, the code is based on affix version 2.1.2 .
