I found this blog post very informative. I am currently trying to add Bluetooth support to a WEC7 iMX53 platform using a WT21 HCI Bluetooth module from BlueGiga. I followed all your advice but I still can't tell if the Bluetooth driver is loading - I see no messages relating to BTD from the kernel debug. I've checked the settings in the registry and they all seem to be in order.
Could you tell me how you determined the driver was loading? Or if there any basic test applications I can run to check it's functioning? I did select the Silverlight BT settings panel from my OS catalogue but it doesn't appear anywhere on my desktop or control panel.
One final question, could you tell me what the various values for the "flags" parameter in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Transports\BuiltIn\1] represent? I've tried searching online but haven't managed to find a description. I ask because by default the WT21 module configures itself to use EVEN parity and I'm not sure how to tell Windows is should use even parity when communicating with the module.
