Thanks for these instructions.
But the problem is that i want to pair the freerunner with my tablet
where i have no access to a console. So i do need a script or program
which could pair with standard bluetooth devices. I could also install
debian or qtmoko on the freerunner if they are more suited for this
task. So is there any other way of pairing with other devices? :)
