Bluetooth (BLE) Radios¶
Using Bluetooth radio (which use a BLE-based serial approach):
It works on Linux (and possibly MacOS) if you use the ble-serial:
- Install ble-serial Python package (
pip install ble-serial
) - Make note of the Radio MAC address (
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
) e.g. from Android BT application (or installblescan
the same way and usesudo blescan
to find the devices in neighborhood) - run
ble-serial -d xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
(xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
being the address) - In the Download/Upload dialog choose
/tmp/ttyBLE
as the Custom... port and do standard download/upload - Please note that the radio restarts after upload and BLE BT connection is lost, you have to restart ble-serial in such case
- If you want to make it permanent, add
/tmp/ttyBLE
tofavorite_ports=
(as described on AdvancedConfig) into the[state]
section (you may have to create the key) in~/.chirp/chirp.config
with your favorite editor to have it always listed in port list:
favorite_ports = /tmp/ttyBLE
