Title: RK3399 Bluetooth: No HCI device
Hi,

I'm trying to get bluetooth up and running on a headless RK3399 running Ubuntu. The kernel certainly seems to see it:

mitchekl@firefly:/usr/bin$ dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm'

[ 0.000000] psci: PSCIv1.0 detected in firmware.

However, whenever I look for an hci device I find nothing. I've tried the following, all to no avail:

mitchekl@firefly:/usr/bin$ rfkill list all

0: bt_default: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

1: phy0: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: yes

Hard blocked: no

2: brcmfmac-wifi: Wireless LAN

mitchekl@firefly:/usr/bin$ sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth

mitchekl@firefly:/usr/bin$ systemctl status bluetooth

mitchekl@firefly:/usr/bin$ hciconfig dev

Can't get device info: No such device

Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a more fundamental issue?

Thanks!

Hi,
the bluetooth is unavailable in ubuntu, we will fix it later.

Thanks! Could you point me to a central list of things that are not working in Ubuntu? It would save some effort.

Hi,
any news on this topic? It happened to me with the latest ubuntu firmware that bluetooth worked and I paired a bluetooth keyboard successfully with the board. And it worked without problem until I rebooted system. But it happened only once and I saw an error (dmesg) that only 4 cores were successfully initialized and last 2 failed.
