I was trying to send files from board(imx6) to phone(android) via bluetooth

obexftp -b <mac_addr> -p filename (file in board)

But I was not able get that file in phone. When I installed ES file explorer it was found with junk filename. Similarly, while receiving file using

obexftp -b <mac_addr> -g filename(phone-filename)

I was not able to find files in board.

Whether obex.service is needed for obexftp to run? Do /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd file has to be present for the above process?

Hi,

Ideally /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd daemon file has to be present for obex services.

Which the bluetooth stack that you are using in the host(imx6)? Is it BlueZ?

Also what is the output of the following  command

>>>systemctl status snap.bluez.obex.service

Hi,

Do I need snap.bluez.obex.service for ftp transfer. If so, where can I get the image file for that.

Can anyone say, how to add obexd image file into yocto build. Since I am not able to get obexd image file inside /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd.

Thanking you in advance.

All suggestions are accepted.
