Anycom USB-240 & firmware
Hello,
I recently bought an Anycom USB-240. It ships
with BT 1.1 firmware, as depicted below, but
it *should* be BT 1.2 capable hardware.

My interest in Bluetooth is primarily tied to
audio right now. I've been doing a lot of work
with SIP phones lately so I've ordered a BT 1.2
Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset to play with.
It should arrive in a week or two.
Anyway, the Logitech headset is BT 1.2 capable
so I'd like to upgrade my USB-240 firmware to
1.2 also (freq hopping to avoid my 802.11b nets,
etc...), but this post on the Anycom website
claims that the USB-240's headset and handsfree
profiles don't work well under Linux with BT
1.2 firmware:

So in the interest of NOT frying my shiny new
USB-240, does anyone on this list currently use
a USB-240 with a headset or handsfree profile
device? Which firmware do you use?
Also, if I *do* decide to upgrade the adapter's
firmware, am I likely to have better luck with
Anycom's firmware via a Win32 install? Or with
Bluez supplied firmware? Does the Bluez firmware
even work with my Silicon Wave chipset?
TIA!

if you wanna play with audio then you should better buy a dongle with a CSR chip.

As far as I know these Silicon Wave chips are ROM only version and so you can't update the firmware. However I don't even know of any firmware updates for Silicon Wave.

Hi Marcel,
these dongles can really be updated to 1.2 at least via Widcomm stack

Site is in czech, but pictures says more then thousand words :D

what program from the CD or Internet is used to update them? A guy at Anycom told me that their Bluetooth 1.2 dongles are ROM only. Maybe the older ones had a flash chip inside.

Well, my headset arrived today and is currently in it's 4 hour charge cycle. We'll see if the Anycom is Anygood for audio. :)

Unfortunately, according to Jens in this thread:

You are correct. I'm interested in playing with this device, so maybe they'll have some documentation available.

Nope. No luck. I get this issue:
http://tinyurl.com/5dhtl
Hissing, volume buttons work, both from amixer and from headset's volume buttons, but no audio. When I try to send audio, I get this:
[21:35]jesse@trevarthan:[~]% aplay -B 1000000 -D plughw:Headset /usr/home/jesse/.kde3.3/share/sounds/maximize.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/home/jesse/.kde3.3/share/sounds/maximize.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:592:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed: Input/output error
In addition, if I disconnect the headset by pushing the function button, the hissing stops, and I get confirmation that the SCO connection has been dropped:
[22:07]jesse@trevarthan:[~]% btsco 00:0D:44:36:E6:F4 Device is 0:0
Voice setting: 0x0060
RFCOMM channel 1 connected

opened hwdep
connected SCO channel
Setting sco fd
Done setting sco fd
recieved AT+VGS=13
Sending up speaker change 13
recieved AT+CKPD=200
disconnected SCO channel
Pressing the connect button on the headset after this yields this output:
recieved AT+CKPD=200
opened hwdep
But then it hangs and I have to physically remove the dongle from the USB port and replug it to get things working again.
I'm using a patched (mh3) Gentoo 2.6.10-r6 kernel. Everything but the VERSION hunk applied successfully.
Is this an irreparable incompatibility with the Silicon Wave chipset? I'm willing to do any debugging and/or patching necessary, but my guess is that Marcel already has plenty of these chipsets laying around.
If there's no hope, can anyone recommend a USB BT 1.2 dongle, hopefully with flash upgradeable firmware, that works well with Bluez in headset and handsfree profile modes?
Thanks!
