I am trying out the latest Armbian Debian Buster release for a Nanopi Neo Air.

 

It is working fine. I've loaded Armbian into the eMMC and I can boot off of it. I have done `apt update && apt upgrade`. Using armbian-config, I have configured Wi-Fi and can SSH in.

 

However, Bluetooth does not work:

Prior to installing Armbian, using the stock eMMC distribution from Friendlyarm,  Bluetooth did work properly. I was able to use `bluetoothctl` to power on the radio and successfully do scans. I do not think it is a hardware issue.

 

Is Bluetooth expected to work out-of-box for this SBC? If not, what needs to be done?

We didn't fix/enable Bluetooth on all boards yet.

Don't know from head, but search might reveal
