Hi Luigi,

Many years ago (8+ years) we looked into supporting chan_mobile (and bluetooth), and decided not to support it.

chan_mobile requires Asterisk to be built with "bluetooth" which is complicated, adding bluez-tools, dbus, libglib2 and some audio packages.  While technically possibly, definitely not recommended via an AstLinux custom build.  Our old bluez-tools package is not the latest version 5.

Possibly using a Raspberry Pi for the bluetooth, chan_mobile and SIP trunk via ethernet to your AstLinux box.

Either way, it seems like a lot of work, and a fragile solution to me.
