I don't care to see the keywords tag influence Web search but it would be helpful to Webmasters if you used it in your Custom Search Engine solution and/or site-specific searches.
There are still people in the SEO community who wrongly say that none of the major search engines use the keywords meta tag. Both Ask and Yahoo! still seem to look at it, but of course they don't allow it to have significant influence in competitive queries. - September 21, 2009 at 10:38 AM

Does it hurt to keep the keyword tag? I would say no. Let's call it Meta insurance. In case a service decides to use the keyword tag someday, your site is prepared.

After allot of testing and coming to the conclusion that the Meta had no real value. I thank you for the conformation.

No. Just leave it out. Save a dozen-or-so bytes per pageload!
I'm shocked that everybody didn't know this already. I could have sworn Google had announced, even if only unofficially, that keyword meta tags were thoroughly ignored by themselves (and other SEs have concurred).
I've not used them in years. - September 21, 2009 at 11:46 AM

There is of course one excellent use of the Meta Keywords content:
Competitive keyword research: Simply visit your competitor web site, view page source, and presto: Step 1 of keyword analysis... It works surprisingly often! - September 21, 2009 at 11:57 AM

Stopped worrying about meta tag keywords. NONE of our search results on ANY of the major SE's utilize anything in our listed keywords.

I totally agree with jordon, is like a Meta insurance, your site will be ready.
Also I think is good to use it to keep a relation between pages in a blog for example.

Jeez, that means I actually have to supply content, and can't spam a page to get it entered.
Come on, is this really news? - September 21, 2009 at 12:05 PM
- Jeff said...
I'm happy to see them not matter anymore, considering all the past abuses. It's a shame they became the nefarious meta tag.
Regarding "Meta insurance", it still doesn't hurt to add them in an honest and useful way to begin with. Pretty straight forward: don't over do it and don't be dishonest. - September 21, 2009 at 12:37 PM
- SocialPMChick said...
I have been telling my clients not to worry about meta-tags anymore (and for quite some time), but there are few hold-outs who insist they are top priority.
I find it interesting that even though Google says they don't place any weight for rank on them, that after a site of mine went through and added them in, within weeks, they had a major jump in rank.
Coincidence? There was no other content development on this site going on simulatenously so I have to wonder, maybe just a little bit. - September 21, 2009 at 12:43 PM

Well, I say - (2D) Keywords were out a long time ago. The new 3DKeywords or 3D Keywords are coming soon. They are basically encoded keywords making them more reliable and they can be controlled.

"I'm shocked that everybody didn't know this already."
Part of it is how indecisive Google has been in talking about this publicly. I've seen Googlers mention this in comment threads, but this is the most direct Google response to the keywords metatag question I've ever seen. - September 21, 2009 at 1:14 PM
- Ed Nailor said...
While Google may disregard this, Google is not the only search engine out there that people use! But regardless of that, I still teach my clients to include the keywords and description as an exercise in keyword density. It keeps them focused on remembering to use their targeted keywords within their content.
And as someone else said, a little insurance never hurt! - September 21, 2009 at 1:34 PM

You said in the video that Google will use a Meta Description if it is really "good".
First, HOW does Google decide which descriptions are "good" vs. "not so good" vs. "bad" vs. "really bad"? (Obviously, having "New Page" as a Meta Title and Meta Description are "really, really, really bad".)
Second, exactly WHAT makes a "really good" Meta Description?
I try to use 2 sentences in a Meta Description. The first sentence describes specifically what is on THIS page (example, "The Obituary of This Person, died Jan. 1, 1899, resided in X County, X State" -- and all those words are ON the specific page. The second sentence I call the "root" and includes what the whole website is about, in this case genealogy and history of X County, X State. The "Root" information is also on every page, in the form of Website Title ON each page, which is often repeated in the content. Example, my webpage title is X County... the Obituary likely repeats that the person or ancestors lived in X County. As well, the City and County Names happen to be the same Name, so that specific name gets repeated several times on the page. So does my 2-sentence Meta Description pass the "good description" test?
Please elaborate with additional short videos on this --and other--topics.
P.S. Like your Panda shirt, but on this video it looks like you have swipes of dirt on your left chest area. ;-)
P.S.S. I so wish Google would include a highlighted color in the Search Results for misspelled words on websites. What better way to encourage webmasters to proofread and spellcheck, with seeing their misspellings in some gawd-awful color. LOL - September 21, 2009 at 1:49 PM

sure everyone knows the google doesn't use meta keywords for web search.
but the google news sitemap spec has a keywords field, does google leverage meta keywords for news search? - September 21, 2009 at 2:56 PM

So what is an organization supposed to do with things like abbreviations, alternate spelling, and synonyms? This was a natural use for keywords.
I don't care about page rank here. I'm talking about letting someone search on "personnel" and find "human resources". That sort of thing.
If we don't stuff that into keywords, where do we put it? - September 21, 2009 at 3:12 PM

Does google penalize sites that use Yahoo webhosting, or don't use adwords?
We didn't appear in google search results until we joined the adwords program. We became the number one hit (when our name was searched) soon after. When we suspended our adwords program, WE COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED from search results.
Maybe it is random, but the timing is strange, and it's impossible for us to fix, and it is driving me to desperate acts like posting here.

@MichaelMartinez - Good point regarding the HR & Personnel search, additionally regarding the if we don't use keywords where do we put them to categorize the content.
Obviously the keywords can be spammed (by copying from other sites, or falsifying with similar domain names, designs, spam content, etc. Additionally this isn't about page rank, it's about organization of information.
Seems to make sense and I know that content is key - although isn't this somehow something that should pass into the equation? Just not carry as much weight? Or at least be included if someone searches a particular domain with Google Custom Site Search, etc.

We have certainly found an increase in traffic as a result of adding keyword meta tags, so I suppose that must be other search engines.
These posts are very useful. I can understand Google's hesitance in outlining ranking criteria, but it would sure save a lot of time if they would go into greater detail on legitimate ways to increase SEO. - September 21, 2009 at 4:47 PM
- Michael Martinez said...
@brianjking - For a company that wants to organize all the data on the Web, Google seems determined not to to do a very good job of it. They confirmed somewhere that the Web search index is separate from private search indexes (like the CSEs).
It seems to me they could do a lot of good by helping Webmasters improve site search opportunities.
Of course, most site searches won't return a significant portion of site search content anyway, so I would not recommend using Google Web search for a site search tool. I believe you can purchase bandwidth from Google for a custom search solution.
I would want to use the keywords meta tag for such a solution. - September 21, 2009 at 6:08 PM
- Dr. Ellis L. (Skip) Knox said...
We (a state university) have a GSA for our site search. It works great and gives us the functionality we need.
But the general public does search for information that universities provide. And we can't be putting all possible words into every page. For example, an article on economic history very likely isn't going to have that phrase "economic history" anywhere in its body.
Seems to me that's what meta tags are for. Yet here is Google saying that they deliberately ignore them.
That seems unfortunate at best.
And the question remains: how the heck are we supposed to mark up content so that it gets found by relevant phrases?
I doubt anyone wants me putting directly on the page
"This page is about economic history, the economy of France, the 18th century, agriculture, agricultural reform ... " well, you get the idea.
I don't want to cudgel my way to Page One. I just want to be findable. - September 21, 2009 at 7:03 PM
- Dave Hawley said...
RE: In those days, keyword meta tags quickly became an area where someone could stuff often-irrelevant keywords without typical visitors ever seeing those keywords. Because the keywords meta tag was so often abused, many years ago Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag
Wouldn't it make more sense for Google to give credit to keywords, in Meta Keywords, that are also visible on the page and/or in the Title tag? - September 21, 2009 at 8:21 PM
- Jeff said...
Thanks Matt for the official word- I know many of us had suspected this for a while, but it seems the keywords meta tag is the only bit of optimisation that the average client has ever heard of.
Recently a customer said: "Meta keywords... my friend showed me how to look that up, I'm thinking the new site should have at least 100 - can you do that?"
I'm sure other web designers can relate, and thanks for giving me something to forward to everyone that asks me to load keywords. - September 21, 2009 at 9:32 PM
- Russell said...
I believe the search system is more complicated than that. Goes with PageRank, so if the keyword isn't in the page but a link from another page has the keyword then maybe it will show in the search results, but I don't know for sure.
I say doing away with the keyword tag is the best thing any search engine can do. It is not only Google but most search engines ignore this tag anyways. Most search engines began dropping support for keywords in the late 90s and early 2000s. I'm surprised most didn't notice.
Put it this way, having the keywords tag influence search results is no different than putting a open form on your website and allowing bots and people to spam it. You might have some legit post but most post are probably going to be spam. So you think Google likes to have spam and irrelevant content in its search results. I do not think so.
I can tell where some people are coming from though, but this just calls for more intelligent ways to incorporate information into a page.
I still use keywords on my sites, I know they have no importance but it is a habit. I however don't do keywords for every page. I have the same keywords for the entire site. - September 21, 2009 at 10:13 PM
- Mrudula said...
Thanks matt for confirming again that Google ignores the Keywords Meta tag. The confusion starts for the meta description now.
As most of them still believe that Google will give more weight for the description in rankings. Can you also comment on this meta description tag and clear the confusion ? - September 21, 2009 at 10:55 PM

Dr. Ellis L. (Skip) Knox said: "I doubt anyone wants me putting directly on the page
'This page is about economic history, the economy of France, the 18th century, agriculture, agricultural reform ... ' well, you get the idea."
Michael: Actually, that would be perfectly fine. You would in no way be "cudgeling" your way to the top. Rather, you would be helping the search engine show people what your page is about. - September 21, 2009 at 11:53 PM

Just woke up 2 minutes ago, so I'm not sure how coherent this'll read. I'm going to give'r anyway.
Meta tags, in my experience, are still referenced by Bing and other search engines.
As for leaving keywords in for "Meta Insurance"? No sure about that. Do so leaves an easy way for competitors to find out what keywords your going after.
But all in all, I say use 'em. Stick misspellings in there, or experiment with long tail phrases.
And to Mr. Cutts, I am a fan and admirer. In all your communications you seem like a warm and friendly person, even to cats :) You are a good role model for young people (and everyone else for that matter.) - September 22, 2009 at 3:09 AM

This is old news! Apparently there are some less sophisticated search engines that may pay attention though? Either way I gave up using them when Google did. It seems that when you use 'tags' for pages it is the same principle yet can be much more useful for a user.

Thank you Michael, that tells me what I needed. Namely: while "Google does not" use keywords meta tag in web ranking -- how could you say it any more clearly? -- that is NOT a reason to abandon keywords altogether. They are still indexed and searchable, and so still have a function.
They simply are not part of the mysterious algebra of page ranking.
It's not your fault that people persist in misunderstanding (me included, initially!) your statement. - September 22, 2009 at 6:57 AM

You may like to know that there is at least one site that belongs to Google which still uses meta keywords, and that one site is YouTube.
Not only on each video permalink (where meta keywords match those tags added by user), but also on YouTube's home page, the meta keyword tag is there. - September 22, 2009 at 7:09 AM

This is not new news..
but if you omit the keywords field meta tag on your websites you are a fool.
Testing has been done multiple times over that shows a unique KW phrase in the keywords field will rank for #1 in google in isolation.
it's going to take about 12 weeks,
but it still works.
now if you put copyrighted words or trademarks ANYWHERE in yoru website you are a FOOL and subject to DMCA or copyright lawsuits.
The solutions is...

I would like to see a metadata-only search engine, that uses the title, keywords and description to categorise works. The keyword weighting would sum to 1.0 and would be grammatically aware in as many languages as possible. For example a PhD thesis on the likelihood of it actually "Raining cats and dogs" might have in it's keywords, "probability, rain, cat, cats, dog, dogs". The keyword parser would assign 0.25 to each of probability, rain, cat and dog, and discard cats and dogs as duplicate. This way, works that spam the keywords field dilute the value of each word as the list grows bigger, and may place their paper under the wrong headings.

and is spamming the url to the search engines google, my blog has has exactly 341 articles published since last year, reaching around 720 daily visits and such visits suddenly disappeared from one moment to another, simply because this blog is spam copying all my articles and publishing in the wordpress platform which is much better indexed by search engines. Now I want to know how do I report it to blog that he remove the copies that made all my posts. Someone could help me, The url address of my blog: it http://blogando20.blogspot.com

As long as "keywords" metatag is not penalized, you should continue using it.
What if google decides to give it some value one year from now? Are you going to go back to all of your sites and re-write code?

I agree that the meta tags don't directly effect page rank, but they do increase Google's awareness of the content on the page... which in turn can effect where your site ranks based on the words used in your "natural search" done on Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. This is especially true for flash sites that don't use technologies that allow search engines to read their pages.

Troy posted: "Also, the article is about the "keywords" meta tag only. Some of the posts seem to reflect their thoughts on all of the tags commonly used."
More important than "keywords", the video brought up META DESCRIPTION-- just a one line mention but an important mention.
Seems we could all benefit more from focusing on improving how we write the "Description" tag, rather than debating what Google has said about how THEY treat keywords (Google isn't writing about Yahoo or another search engine! Google told what Google does with keywords. But Google also made an important point about Meta Description, but the point is being lost -- like muddy boot-steps obscuring everything on the floor, including the "design".
Google is basically saying, we focus on CONTENT wherein "keywords" are appropriately used, along with a well-written META DESCRIPTION (which should likely should use some of the same "keywords" used in the CONTENT). When writing a Meta Description, think "what is unique about THIS page", and make sure that the same subject is presented well in the content. If website "XYZ" is for light bulbs, but THIS page focuses on why the new light bulb styles are better than the old style, the Meta Description should reflect that point (no pun intended). - September 23, 2009 at 10:36 AM

Rocking Guy: "So what is the use to place Meta Keywords in websites???"
Michael: Other search engines (including Ask and Yahoo!) still look at the meta keywords tag, so it is still useful to include it on your pages.
But if you're using a site search tool that makes use of the meta keywords tag, you should make full use of the tag for site search and not worry about which major search engines honor it.
SEOs who advise people not to use the meta keywords tag are at best giving out useless advice and at worst giving out bad advice.
Search engine optimization is not all about Google -- it is all about SEARCH. - September 23, 2009 at 10:58 AM

Let me get this straight... Key words/phrases mean nada. Seldom do meta descriptions. Content is king.
I assume meta titles, text titles, h1 tags, etc still do. Big debate about whether alts do. How about image and other graphic file names? Or directory names...
To me there are some major concerns. Yes, yes I'm aware of Google's semantic ability, however I'm not sure it's as advanced as they imply. If not, well written content that is not overly redundant will not get the job done. I don't need to remind everybody how many beautiful potentially effective well written sites there are out there that are never found because of SEO issues.
If little by little only visible elements of a website will determine organic ranking, Google better step up it's semantic abilities very quickly, or we will have the first three pages of any search overrun by "less than pertinent" websites. Wait a minute... on second thought let's not go there.
My gut feeling is that although Google would love to totally do away with relying on any meta info for ranking, until they have designed the "perfect" semantic machine, the key will remain the interrelationship of meta data, various tags, file names, and the visible content. - September 23, 2009 at 11:59 AM

Beyond how useful keywords are for search engine rankings, I do believe they contribute to your critical thinking. The exercise of identifying meaningful keywords (and description) gives you an opportunity to distance yourself of the copy-editing of your content and analyze it from a different perspective. Keywords give you the oportunity to become your own judge of your content and review its quality. It is up to you to be thorough, consistent and why not- honest!

I fully agree that the keyword meta tag should be kept as it doesn't cause any harm to the ranking result.
In addition, although Google don't consider it, other search engines (e.g. Yahoo, Bing) may still using it as one of their evaluating factors. - September 25, 2009 at 12:20 AM

Can you please tell me why google blocked the IP of a request to have illegal material removed. This is violating our national defamation and privacy laws. We submitted a request and we informed by email to resubmit in the form required by google.
We resubmitted several times after legal consultation and sent it by fax. We used an email delivery/read confirmation service and sent the resubmitted request from two email addresses on the one computer. It was not delivered ergo google just blocked the IP.
The illegal material was published on a site, ripoff report, that google ranks above links to professional information.
The information was libelous and contravened the privacy rights of a person. It was not about a business. It included identification and contact information of the victim. It asked people to harass them. This occurred.
The original request containing the information demonstrated that it was highly illegal. The email confirmation showed that the removals team had read the original request.
In short, google just replied to the original request with a request to resubmit and then blocked the IP address. Can you please tell me why? - September 27, 2009 at 5:58 PM

Yes, it will be.
Google removals staff read the original request and therefore they are informed as per law.

Maybe it was to ignore it. Under our laws this is illegal and that was pointed out in the original (read and relied) notice. - September 27, 2009 at 9:40 PM

It would have been better ig Google and all SEs found a way to penalise the abusers rather than disregard elements designed for users' benefit. Such a solution would also have enabled you to penalise those who abuse the user through 'keyword packing'. If it is not true natural language and does not make sense to an ordinary user then it should loose it's page rank all together.

What confuses me about this is the effect not using Keywords has on "Landing Pages". Pages that are specically used for Selling a product/service, especially if you use PPC (Pay per click advertising).
I understand that content is King, but maybe I am getting confused with Page ranking and Quality Score when using PPC.
It also concerned me to see the refrerance to www.discountsindia.com. I checked it out and agree, it has no content, yet is ranked high by Google. I hope I am wrong when I think we may be fed some disinformation here. - November 3, 2009 at 3:36 PM

You need to post meta-tag keywords, as all the search engines in some form or another evaluate what the other is indexing. There is way to much information still organized off meta-data to ignore adding keywords to your meta-tags.

Even if Google claims they are not using the keyword meta-tag they are still indexing information from sites that may be categorizing content based on meta-tag data. We would advise to still take the meta-tag keyword data seriously. This is a basic piece of information that can have positive effects on someone or a robot's ability to index your information for related keywords.

I don't want to debate Google's statement, but I have a real-life scenario that contradicts it.
Web site #1 uses no meta tags, but has visible content that explains their services and uses all the key words that apply. Within the last few months, this site was almost completely rewritten with new content and has been regularly updated with new information, links and downloadable and searchable PDF files. You'd think this would rank high on the page of Google search results.
Web site #2 was created, but never finished. This site uses meta "keywords" and "description" tags. Their is no visible content. None! No links, downloadable files or text. The site is a shell.
Both sites have been up for over a year, and are competitors. Site #1's changes took place in January. (i.e. more than a month ago.)
In a recent Google search, the site #2 came up as the third item on the results page. Site #1 did not show at all. Since the only useable content in site #2 is their meta desciption and keywords tags, what other conclusion can you make? - March 17, 2010 at 10:24 AM

Good to see which meta tags Google does use.

Surely you can't be ranked lower for offering relevant data and content? Simple enough: Don't spam!

Its always good to use Meta Tags in my opinion though Google is not considering it for website ranking. Whatever may be the ranking criteria we should not encourage copy cats to copy Meta Tags and use like they want and moreover its not that you should work just to get good Google rankings only.We also have some responsibilities towards customers rather then working towards better ranking just for market competition.Many of you might not like what i am saying but its just my view, if if dont like it you can always ignore it.

GRC, the only search engines that take meta keywords into consideration are Inktomi and Teoma. In fact META keywords doesn't influence SERPs in others.

ok so they dont use the meta tags of keywords or description
Then what do they use.
I am sure other search engines still give some weight to them so I still do the Meta tags, but what do they use

But should I just delete the whole meta tag? Or just put something like this better "?"

Its great that Matt has made this official. This is a good move by Google to make search result more better for the user experience. Meta keywords to me is too spammy i think.

The end result, Google do not give importanct to meta keywords but meta keywords play some role with other search engines.

- Karthik said...
So the meta tag is not at all required as search engines are concerned?

I always put them in, used or not, in fact i use the keywords content in the description and this comes up on the serch page and contains all the phrases i want searchers to see right there!

Yeah not only Google but most of the search engines are not supported meta keyword tags anymore.Yahoo has removed the use of the tag from its ranking algorithm. The news came during the Ask The Search Engines session at SMX East in New York today.Bing do not support the meta keyword tag.

You mean you can have a website without meta tags and rank high on search engines

I have to disagree with this. I understand Google's statement from 2009, but today, I think that there might be some consideration given to meta keywords, if only 1%, it's still something.

There is a site in Australia that is returning eight year old information against an individual, which has been superseded by time alone, but still manages to make into the top of google searches. I believe they are using a Black Hat SEO method...someone should contact me and I will get them to check it out...

i agree with google policy of not emphasizing meta keywords more as it may harm some really good sites

then how we get rank on Google search engine. ca any one tell me how and what i use for that.

Device Driver Interface of WiLink Solution
From OMAPpedia
Contents |
WL127x and WL128x are two generations of TI connectivity chips for the OMAP platforms. With any particular OMAP processor generation any particular generation of connectivity chip may be used (for a particular product). Generally used OMAP processor and connectivity chip combinations are:
- OMAP3 and WL127x (as in Zoom2, Zoom3 devices) or
- OMAP4 and WL128x (as in Blaze devices)
However, a few customers and internal development teams at TI use and need these (rare) combinations:
- OMAP3 + WL128x and
- OMAP4 + WL127x
The following hints are provided should you have an alternative combination of devices and have chosen not to use the devices on-board (for whatever reason):
Note that for on-board devices that come on a particular platform, i.e. Zoom2/3 (with WL127x), Blaze (with WL128x) and Panda (with WL127x), the relevant software releases for the platform (or board) should get WiFi, Bluetooth and FM work out of the box.
It should be clear by now that any OMAP platform can use any TI WiLink device. Below list provides a couple of rare/odd combinations along with a couple of regular:
- OMAP3 + 1271 + 5500 (default for OMAP3)
- OMAP4 + 1283 (default for OMAP4)
A Shared Transport driver is a line discipline driver. It acts as a generic transport driver for Bluetooth, FM and GPS connectivity (for WL128x).
Each of those protocol drivers have a register and a unregister mechanisms with the shared transport driver. Upon registration the shared transport driver can do a concurrent write. The shared transport driver then would queue up the data and send it over the UART. When the shared transport driver receives any data it interprets the data and forwards it to the receiver protocol driver via callbacks.
Shared transport driver is a platform device driver. Hence, for any platform which has a WL127x/WL128x device and you want to make use of this device, and the accompanying driver, you may do so by including an entry in the architecture specific board file.
/* wl128x BT, FM, GPS connectivity chip */ struct ti_st_plat_data wilink_pdata = { .nshutdown_gpio = 55, .dev_name = "/dev/ttyO1", .flow_cntrl = 1, .baud_rate = 3000000, }; static struct platform_device wl128x_device = { .name = "kim", .id = -1, .dev.platform_data = &wilink_pdata, };
Also, in one of the architecture specific init functions add:
Hardware Interface and MUX mode configuration
The WiLink connectivity chip's BT, FM and GPS IPs are interfaced with the application processor (OMAP) through UARTs. A GPIO line called nShutDown acts as the chip enable line for the connectivity chip.
Also, the connectivity chip is interfaced to BT core via PCM lines (mcbsp if OMAP) and to the FM core via i2S (or PCM). The BT-PCM lines carry the voice data during a call scenario. The FM i2S lines can be used for FM Rx audio (digital) or FM Tx audio.
The mux-mode configurations of these hardware interfaces can be configured via the OMAP MUX framework supported by the BSP as follows:
Example 1: On Zoom3 the N-Shut-Down line is connected to GPIO 109.
In file arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-zoom3.c you would find the following entry: omap_mux_init_gpio(109, OMAP_PIN_OUTPUT);
The configuration can be done in x-loader or u-boot. Note that the configuration may not take place in u-boot if it is already being done in x-loader.
Example 2: On OMAP3SDP/Blaze's x-loader, the McBSP1 is connected to the BT-PCM lines.
In file board/omap4430sdp/omap4430sdp.c of the ''u-boot'' source code, you will find entries which look like: MV(CP(ABE_MCBSP1_DX), (OFF_EN | OFF_OUT_PTD | M0)) /* abe_mcbsp1_dx */ \ MV(CP(ABE_MCBSP1_FSX), (IEN | OFF_EN | OFF_PD | OFF_IN | M0)) /* abe_mcbsp1_fsx */ \ and MV(CP(ABE_MCBSP1_DX), (OFF_EN | OFF_OUT_PTD | M0)) /* abe_mcbsp1_dx */ \ MV(CP(ABE_MCBSP1_FSX), (IEN | OFF_EN | OFF_PD | OFF_IN | M0)) /* abe_mcbsp1_fsx */ \
Example 3: On OMAP4SDP/Blaze, the OMAP UART2 is connected to the BT-HCI-UART.
MV(CP(UART2_CTS), (PTU | IEN | M0)) /* uart2_cts */ \ MV(CP(UART2_RTS), (M0)) /* uart2_rts */ \ MV(CP(UART2_RX), (IEN | M0)) /* uart2_rx */ \ MV(CP(UART2_TX), (M0)) /* uart2_tx */ \
Note: Since there lacks a standard way to configure the hardware interfaces, please look into relevant BSP or contact the email ID mentioned below.
BTWILINK driver
BTWILINK driver (in drivers/bluetooth/btwilink.c) provides the bluetooth connectivity. The driver makes use of the shared transport driver; which talks to the bluetooth core on the WiLink chipsets.
Enable this driver either as a module or as a built-in component along with necessary bluetooth functionality in the kernel.
Similar to the TI ST driver, this is also a platform device driver. Hence, to be included it requires a relevant platform device registration, which can be achieved as follows:
static struct platform_device btwilink_device = { .name = "btwilink", .id = -1, };
The inclusion of btwilink_device in one of the architecture specific init functions would enable the Bluetooth driver for WiLink chipsets. Include the following line in one of the architecture/platform specific init functions:
User Space components
An utility known as UIM is critical for the shared transport (TI_ST) driver to work. (Meaning, without UIM, TI_ST will not work.) Most line disciplines, if not all, require a user-space daemon to open the UART. Installing the line discipline thereby gives control to the line discipline driver.
You can obtain UIM from:
The latest can be found at the Gingerbread branch. It's named uim-sysfs. Follow this link to get it:
UIM needs to be run at boot since some Linux flavors may require Bluetooth or GPS to be turned on at boot.
To do so (run at boot time), have the UIM entry in one of your rc.S files. Alternatively, you can specify a special udev rule based on the platform driver in addition to the device "kim" [Need Modification].
For Android, the following entry in the init.rc should suffice:
service uim /system/bin/uim-sysfs user root group media bluetooth oneshot
Setting up the Firmware
All three connectivities -- Bluetooth, FM and GPS -- require their own firmware files. The Bluetooth firmware core file is used earlier (first) than the other cores in WiLink.
The latest firmware files are available on this site:
Shared Transport driver uses the firmware class sub-system to download firmware files. Hence the firmware ".bts" files should be placed in /system/etc/firmware/ for Android and /lib/firmware/ for Ubuntu.
On Boot Check
Since there are many versions of the drivers floating around and a lot needs to be done to get them all working fine, checking a few things as mentioned below will ensure that the porting effort went well :
- If you intended to build the following modules: TI ST driver, btwilink driver, FM and GPS, then make sure that the following kernel object files are present in the file-system (In the root "/" for Android.): st_drv.ko, btwilink.ko, fm_drv.ko and gps_drv.ko.
- The above modules need to be inserted manually (with insmod) if the UIM does not do the job at boot. You can check that by doing a lising of the modules present. Use $lsmod to list the modules loaded.
- The directory sysfs should exist. The directory /sys/devices/platform/kim should also exist with the important entries like install, dev_name, baud_rate present. These entries should also represent at which UART the WiLink is connected for the platform.
- Similarily, the directory /sys/devices/platform/btwilink should exist. If this does then the hci0 interface can be checked using the command $hciconfig -a.
- The FM driver initialization can be confirmed by checking the device node /dev/radio0.
- The GPS driver initialization can be confirmed by checking the device node /dev/tigps.
Enabling Profiles on Android
- GAP - Generic Access Profile:
- Bluetooth-Settings under Wireless Setting menu of the Setting Application in Android allows you to Scan, Pair and Connect to the devices. Upon scanning, the type of device is detected by Android and the connection is established upon the user's request.
- A2DP - Audio Streaming via Bluetooth:
- Android supports this profile. As soon as you have Bluetooth working, this is expected to work out of the box. On Android, apart from the baud-rate on UART no other factor should generally cause the A2DP profile to break.
- AVRCP - Audio Video Remote Control Profile:
- This requires the uInput to be enabled in the kernel; Issue make menuconfig for more details.
- HFP/HSP - Head Set and Hands Free (In-Call operation):
- While all other kind of Bluetooth data goes over UART, this one goes through the OMAP to the BT via the McBSP. Different platforms have different configurations for the McBSP that has been interfaced with BT-PCM lines. Even without the Modem, the BT-PCM lines are verified by streaming music and record voice from the BT-headset.
- On connection to a Bluetooth Keyboard or Mouse, the HID functionality should work out of the box.
- Since Android provides them, object push and Vcard listing should also work out of box.
- There are 3rd party applications, like BlueFTP, that are available from Android App Market. They should work without any modifications upon installation.
Important Notes
The platform data and its structure tend to keep changing, and hence before adding the platform device, please make sure the platform data matches in type and structure of the platform data defined in include/linux/ti_wilink_st.h
