​
Connect the remote device

To connect a remote device in MAP, run the following command from the obexctl menu: 
connect <bt_address> <profile_name>
Parameters
  • <bt_address> is the Bluetooth address of the remote device.
  • <profile_name> is map.
Example To connect to a remote device with <bt_address> 22:22:23:DB:F2:4A, run the following command: 
connect 22:22:23:DB:F2:4A map
Sample output 
#connect 22:22:23:DB:F2:4A map

​
List messages in a folder

To list messages in a folder, do the following:
  1. Connect the DUT and the remote device.
  2. Change the current directory to the intended directory. Example If the message folder is at telecom/msg, run the following command from the obexctl menu: 
    cd telecom/msg
  3. List the messages in the intended folder by running the following command: 
    ls <folder_name>
    Example To list the inbox messages, run the following command:

Send a message

To send a message, do the following:
  1. Connect the DUT and the remote device.
  2. Change the current directory to the outbox directory. Example To change the directory to outbox, run the following command from the obexctl menu: 
    cd outbox
  3. Ensure that the message is present in the outbox folder. If the message isn’t present, create one. Example You can create a BMSG file called map_file.msg with the following content: 
    BEGIN:BMSG
VERSION:1.0
STATUS:UNREAD
TYPE:SMS_GSM
FOLDER:outbox
NOTIFICATION:1
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:QCOM-BTD
END:VCARD
BEGIN:BENV
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:null;;;;
TEL:123-456-7890
END:VCARD
BEGIN:BBODY
CHARSET:UTF-8
LENGTH:50
BEGIN:MSG
Hello from client side
END:MSG
END:BBODY
END:BENV
END:BMSG
  4. Send the message by running the following command from the obexctl menu: 
    send <message_filename>
    Parameters <message_filename> is the filename of the message you intend to send. Example To send map_file.msg, run the following command: 
    send map_file.msg
    Sample output 
    [22:22:23:DB:F2:4A]# send map_file.msg
