Hi,
How to set the BT address in linux and android? The bt address always shows 00:00:00:00:5A:AD

Hi Vinaysimha,
In the mainline based kernel I did implemented support for setting the “public address”, so you can use:
btmgmt public-addr 01:02:03:04:05:06
In the Android based systems, this is not yet used, so I believe there should be something called btnvtool or hci_qcomm_init, that should do a similar thing. Unfortunately I don’t know how to use these.

bjorn,
i’m using 15.09 release, 4.2.0 kernel, ubuntu 15.04 , by default btmgmt is not available in the bluez version 4.101
so i had downloaded, compiled and installed the bluez
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git
checked out the released branch 5.37
root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro/bluez/tools# ./btmgmt
[mgmt]# public-addr 58:fc:db:40:05:b1
Set Public Address for hci0 failed with status 0x0c (Not Supported)
[mgmt]#
Do i need to use some specific kernel version where public-addr is supported?

It seems the 4.2 Linaro release uses the user space driven HCI driver;
which does not implement the public-addr operation.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the tools available before this; do
you have hci_qcomm_init? Can you execute it?
I can confirm that the in-kernel driver is in the 4.4 based Linaro
release. I’m currently revisiting this patch, and it’s dependencies,
with the goal of getting it merged into mainline.

Hi,
Trying to change BT address on Android (5.1), anyone knows how yet?
I have tried btnvtool -b , the value gets stored but address doesn’t change.
Thanks!
