June 25, 20233 yr Hi Basically the subj sums it up. I got the AP6275P wireless module with Armbian, and BT is not functional. `hcitool dev` doesn't show the device in its output. Neither does `rfkill`. It works with the Ubuntu image published by Orange Pi though, so it doesn't look like a hardware issue. I'm using Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome with the 5.10.160 kernel. Happy to provide any additional data.
June 26, 20233 yr Author Awesome, thanks Efe. Out of curiosity, what's wrong with it? Is it just a matter of rebuilding the kernel?
June 26, 20233 yr We just need to init bluetooth-hciattach properly to get Bluetooth working. Nothing to do with kernel side.
June 26, 20233 yr @Efe Çetin Out of curiosity and for completeness and people who may have similar issues and questions in the future, does the fix apply to other bluetooth adapters or just the AP6275P that this thread us about?
June 26, 20233 yr @ArmBoy1988 just special to AP6275P. It's difficult to work for other bluetooth adapters without having them or any feedback. Not have an idea about which adapter works or not works. @David J can you try this image https://github.com/efectn/armbian-images/releases/download/20230626-1325/Armbian_23.08.0-trunk_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome_desktop.img.xz to check bluetooth works
June 27, 20233 yr Author @Efe Çetin I tested the image. It worked after enabling the corresponding overlay. Thanks!

If anyone is looking for a solution with 23.2, all you need is a script to call hciattach and the init creates a service that runs this script on start. Can't wait to test moonlight now that I can pair my controller cat /usr/local/sbin/bluetooth-hciattach.sh #!/bin/bash rfkill unblock 0 hciattach -n -s 115200 /dev/ttyS9 bcm43xx 1500000
