gatttool is deprecated #112
Comments
gattool is deprecated.
for ArchLinux you can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bluez-utils-compat/ to workaround the problem. But I still think it is necessary that pygatt doesn't require an deprecated tool form bluez-utils. However bluez-utils-compat doesn't solve the problem for me as it is not available for ARM platform. bluepy seems to work around the problem by compiling bluez during pip install. https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/Makefile |
Many thanks for shedding light on the subject. |
You can get gatt information using
Here is a sample output I got:
There is also gattctl

I'm having a hard time finding any official notification, but it looks like hcitool and gatttool are being deprecated by BlueZ. The latest package installed in Arch doesn't include it, and you have to install
bluez-utils-compat
from the AUR.Ideally, pygatt can move away from shelling out the CLI tool so this doesn't matter - e.g. the work in progress in #95.
I'm creating this issue for awareness in case anyone else is on bleeding edge distro and finds these tools are suddenly missing.
