Behavior

I'm using a custom bluetooth keyboard based on CircuitPython which can switch to different hosts by changing its bluetooth MAC and full name. The code above is provided as a minimum working example. You can switch to different MAC and full name by entering 0-9 in the REPL. There should be no error.

Recently I encounter the issue that if I use the keyboard on two different Linux setups, after pairing to the second host, the pairing key for the first linux host is replaced/invalidated(my presumption), and the first host won't be able to connect to my keyboard without another manual pairing(connected and then immediately disconnected, see btmon.log). I have to adapt some tricks for dual boot pairing to share keys between two different Linux hosts to work it around.

There may be some bugs in either CircuitPython or Linux's bluetooth implementation(I think it's the latter).

Description

  • Only occurs between my Linux based hosts
  • on iPad, Windows, Android device work as expected
  • tested with 2 Arch Linux hosts, my laptop and my mini PC

Glad to hear that! I can test the code. Is there any extra information required?
