Hi everybody,

I think the X50v bluetooth chip is probably the TI BRF6150.

And a driver for it seems to exist for the hx4700: http://www.handhelds.org/projects/hx4700.html On the hx4700, the bluetooth is lists as hooked up to the 'BT UART', which on the hx2000 page (http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx2000Gpio) is listed on the same GPIO's as the wiki page for the x50v (http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/DellAximX50Hardware)...

The hx2750 has the 6150 too (http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx2000)

perhaps the users 'beemer' and/or 'mikelspikel' on this thread in the forum below can help:

This is also an interesting link about brf6150/hx4700 and 'bts' "bluetooth script": http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7533300&forum_id=1881

Also see http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx4700Drivers : "Status: Bluetooth support is functional. To start bluetooth, "hciattach -S /etc/bluetooth/TIInit_3.2.26.bts ttyS1 texas". To stop, 'killall hciattach'"



This is why I think the BRF6150 is the one:

Fisher's webpage has a chip 'Smallest out one' as 'B615CG1', but it's a small chip and might as well be 'B6150 G1', eh?

And this:
'mikelspikel' on http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=122247&page=2

"The bts from the x50v dump was intended to initialize a TI BRF6150"

And this:

"New Widcomm BT Stack Install/Uninstall Package for Axim X50"

Has a link to a file "BroadcomBluetoothStackX51V05.zip", which after unzip/cabextract shows this:

Somebody posts "the BT Radio chip (TI BRF6150)"

And this:

The HP ipaq hx4700, which has very similar specs, has the BRF6150

http://www.handhelds.org/projects/hx4700.html

And this (ok this one is a far fetched one):

"While the Texas-based engineers at Dell didn't put a digital camera in the new X50 series"...

Maybe the Dell Texas engineering center is close to the TI bluetooth center?

PS: The 'xda' has the BRF6150 too, and the bluetooth serial is listed as status 'works' with linux and a comment '115200. 921600 with the TI *.bts - not tested. Bt irq ???' and 'Bluetooth manager - Works - Able to pair other devices.'
