Add BlueTooth to Android 2.1 Tablet?

thymox · December 30th, 2010, 12:38 PM

Rooted 10" Infotmic Tablet running Android 2.1-update-1. It has 2xUSB-A ports that run as hosts - I can connect USB keyboards, mice, storage devices (pendrives, USB harddrives, card-readers, etc) and 3G dongles to 'em. I have a lovely slow-profile USB BlueTooth dongle that I used to have attached to my laptop. Anyone know how I can add BlueTooth support to my shiny? I'm happy to get my fingers dirty.

Cheers.
Grant.

And thoughts? It would seem that it has all the required Linux Bluetooth stack, it just lacks the actual kernel modules. I am considering getting the sources to the same version of the kernel and cross-compiling the relevant Bluetooth module and copying them over... but without depmod available on the tablet I'm not sure if it'd work.

Anybody got any experience doing this kind of thing?
