Verify PBAP functions

To perform Bluetooth PBAP functions, you must first complete the steps in the following procedure.

​

Prerequisites

• Enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see Sign in using SSH.
• Pair the DUT and the remote device. For instructions, see Pair with a remote Bluetooth device.
• Place the DUT and the remote device in the Bluetooth vicinity.

​

Set up the device for Bluetooth PBAP functions

1. Run the SSH in command prompt using the following command:
   ssh root@<device_IP_address>
   
   Example If the IP address of the device is 10.92.160.222, run the following command:
   ssh root@10.92.160.222
   
2. Connect to the SSH by entering the following password:
   oelinux123
   
3. Open the Bluetooth test application by running the following command:
   obexctl
   
   To view OBEX functions, run the following command:
   help
   
   This command provides the main menu of obexctl. To perform PBAP server and client functions, see Perform Bluetooth PBAP server functions and Perform Bluetooth PBAP client functions. Sample output
   sh-5.1# obexctl

Next steps

​

Perform Bluetooth PBAP server functions

You can verify Bluetooth PBAP server functionality using the commands provided in the main menu of obexctl. Bluetooth PBAP server functions allow you to get a contact from the server.

​

Perform Bluetooth PBAP client functions

You can verify Bluetooth PBAP client functionality using the commands provided in the main menu of obexctl. Bluetooth PBAP client functions include connecting to a remote device and selecting a phone book object. You can pull an entire phone book, retrieve the phone book size, and search for a specific contact using PBAP client functions.
