# General Access Profile Bluetooth Low Energy GAP is an extension of the existing BR/EDR GAP. To perform Bluetooth GAP functions, you must first complete the steps in the following procedure. ## Set up device for Bluetooth GAP functions **Prerequisites** - Enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see [Sign in using SSH](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-254/how_to.html#use-ssh). - Place the device under test (DUT) and the remote device in the Bluetooth vicinity. **Procedure** 1. Run the SSH in command prompt using the following command: ssh root@ Copy to clipboard **Example** If the IP address of the device is `10.92.160.222`, run the following command: ssh root@10.92.160.222 Copy to clipboard 2. Connect to the SSH by entering the following password: oelinux123 Copy to clipboard 3. Open the Bluetooth test application by running the following command: bluetoothctl Copy to clipboard **Sample output** sh-5.1# bluetoothctl Agent registered uetoothd... [CHG] Controller 22:22:F1:C1:99:C0 Pairable: yes Copy to clipboard - To view GAP functions, run the following command: help Copy to clipboard This command provides the main menu of **bluetoothctl**. The main menu includes the submenus and GAP functions. To perform GAP functions, see [Perform Bluetooth GAP functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-gap-functions.html#bluez-perform-bluetooth-gap-functions). **Sample output** [bluetooth]# help Menu main: Available commands: ------------------- advertise Advertise Options Submenu monitor Advertisement Monitor Options Submenu scan Scan Options Submenu gatt Generic Attribute Submenu admin Admin Policy Submenu player Media Player Submenu endpoint Media Endpoint Submenu transport Media Transport Submenu list List available controllers show [ctrl] Controller information select Select default controller devices [Paired/Bonded/Trusted/Connected] List available devices, with an optional property as the filter system-alias Set controller alias reset-alias Reset controller alias power Set controller power pairable Set controller pairable mode discoverable Set controller discoverable mode discoverable-timeout [value] Set discoverable timeout agent Enable/disable agent with given capability default-agent Set agent as the default one advertise Enable/disable advertising with given type set-alias Set device alias scan Scan for devices info [dev] Device information pair [dev] Pair with device cancel-pairing [dev] Cancel pairing with device trust [dev] Trust device untrust [dev] Untrust device block [dev] Block device unblock [dev] Unblock device remove Remove device connect Connect device disconnect [dev] Disconnect device menu Select submenu version Display version quit Quit program exit Quit program help Display help about this program export Print environment variables Copy to clipboard - To verify the state of Bluetooth on the device, run the following command: show Copy to clipboard **Sample output** [bluetooth]# show Controller 8C:FD:F0:21:84:23 (public) Name: qcs9100-ride-sx Alias: qcs9100-ride-sx Class: 0x00000000 Powered: no Discoverable: no DiscoverableTimeout: 0x000000b4 Pairable: yes UUID: A/V Remote Control (0000110e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: PnP Information (00001200-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Message Access Server (00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Message Notification Se..
