Hi,
I am having some headache for reading the rssi of a remote device. The code bellow insists in returning 0 to the "rssi" variable when I try to read the rssi of a connected Nokia 770. If I run the same code for a connected desktop, then a non zero value is returned. For complicating even more, if I run "hcitool clkoff <addr>" when connected to the 770, then a non zero value is also returned.
struct hci_conn_info_req* cr;
; bdaddr_t bdaddr;
int8_t rssi;
char* addr = device->;client->;getClientAddressAsString();
int sockId = device->;dongle->;getSocketId();
str2ba( addr, &bdaddr );
; cr = (hci_conn_info_req*)malloc(sizeof(*cr) + sizeof(struct hci_conn_info));
if( !cr ) {
perror( "Can't allocate memory" );
exit( 1 );
; }
bacpy(&;cr->bdaddr, &bdaddr);
cr->type = ACL_LINK;
; if( ioctl( sockId, HCIGETCONNINFO, (unsigned long) cr ) < 0 ) {
perror("Get connection info failed");
exit(1);
}
if( hci_read_rssi(sockId, htobs(cr->conn_info->handle), &rssi, 1000) < 0 ) {
perror("Read RSSI failed");
; exit(1);
}
printf("RSSI return value: %dn", rssi);
; free(cr);
; return (int)rssi;
Does anyone have some idea about what is going wrong here?

it depends on the local adapter you use and the Bluetooth
chip in the
remote device. Some devices don't report the correct RSSI
value. It
seems they always return 0.

Thanks for answer Marcel.
However, i think this is not the case. In some test I have made, I put two scripts to run at the same time. The first one used hcitool for getting the RSSI, the second one used my program to get the RSSI. Looking to the prints on the terminal window, my program returned zero for the RSSI value while hcitool returned a non zero value...
I am quite confused with this result. The code I am using for getting the rssi is the same as the code hcitool uses. As far as a saw, the whole code necessary for measuring rssi through hcitool is within the "cmd_rssi" function. Is that right or there is some state outside cmd_rssi that impacts in the correctness of the measurement?
Thanks again,
Loreno
