Hi.

I am trying to use bluetooth with my rock pis but I can't with armbian but debian.

With debian I just followed this page and it works.

https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS/Debian#Bluetooth

 

But I want to work it in armbian. I turn bluetooth on in armbian-config.

But "hciconfig" have no result and when I power on bluetooth, it say "No default controller available".

So I searched and found it.

Is it mean that I need to build a kernel to use bluetooth??

It certainly requires some additional patching before building.

This patch is for sure missing in our kernel for ROCK Pi S: https://github.com/radxa/kernel/commit/70a0bbccf001a06ae08f1dd4855059c2966dbe8b

 

I remember omitting it because of lack of interest in Bluetooth.

I may get back to that... Contributions are also welcome

Was this resolved yet?
