bluez-file-transfer

bluez-file-transfer manual

Test all BlueZ features needing interaction with a phone like file transfer of images or audio/video files

A Bluetooth adapter (if you have two plugged, please remove one to avoid confusion)
A Bluetooth-enabled phone with a SIM card and a data plan. (https://www.apertis.org/reference_hardware/extras/)

From a PC, download and unpack the test data tarball from the gitlab test repository:

$ wget https://gitlab.apertis.org/tests/bluez-phone/-/archive/apertis/v2025dev2/bluez-phone.tar.gz

$ tar -xvf bluez-phone.tar.gz

$ DUT_IP=<device-ip>

$ scp -r bluez-phone-* user@$DUT_IP:

$ ssh user@$DUT_IP

$ cd bluez-phone-*

Note that the tarball may change depending on the release/branch being tested, please make sure to download the correct tarball for the release in question.
If running the test on an SDK image, kill the blueman-applet process, as it prevents the test from installing its own pairing agent.

The phone must be in discoverable mode for starting this test. Look for the phone in this list, and save the BT address. It will be used while running the test.
Execute the test suite inside an environment with dbus:

$ ./bluez-phone-file-transfer.sh

-a select which device you want to pair with (specify the address)

-s skip pairing because the device is already paired. -a must be present when using this.

-x enables test debugging (only useful if a test fails)

Once the test begins, after Apertis finishes pairing with the phone, you must initiate pairing from the phone and do the pairing again as part of the test. You may need to unpair Apertis from within the phone first. The test will display the following message when that is required:

Start a pairing from the phone! was it successful (y/n).

After you've initiated the pairing from the phone, the test will continue.
If the pairing fails from the test, try to do the pairing separately, and then run the test using './bluez-phone-file-transfer.sh -a <phone addr> -s'. To do a separate pairing: unpair the phone, and run 'bluetoothctl'. Then, in bluetoothctl prompt, issue the following commands in order: 'remove <phone addr>', 'discoverable on', 'agent off', 'agent NoInputNoOutput', 'default-agent'. The either 'pairable on' to pair from phone, or 'pair <phone addr>' to issue a pairing to the phone. '<phone addr>' is the phone address of the form 'a1:b2:c3:d4:e5:f6'.
The next step is to initiate a file transfer from the phone. This can be done by sending a contact from the phone. The test will display the following message when that is required:

Start an OPP file transfer from the phone to the target, was it successful? (y/n)

After you’ve initiated the file transfer from the phone, the test will continue.
Next the device will send a file to the phone
Accept the incoming file transfer

If PASSED is displayed, all of the test have passed. The output should be similar to that:
