Is the rtl8723bs combo wlan/bluethoot chip supported in the latest release (Armbian_5.67_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.19.6_desktop_20181207)?
As for me only the wlan component is working on my Mnini M8S. It looks like the bluetooth hardware isn't recognised at all.
I'm thinking my problem could be related either to the chip's driver or my problem with dtb.img during installation. I've tried to install an alternative driver from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt, but it didn't make any difference. As for the dtb.img; I couldn't use my android's dtb as it caused the installer to fail straight after the reboot. dtb is OK as md5sum is exactly the same as the one provided at the 150balbes' git repo. The only way to successfully install the image was possible after hardcoding path to the dtb.img in uEnv.ini, also I had to use /boot/dtb/generic meson-gxbb-p200.dtb as my board is p200. Any other way of picking up dtb such as directly from android or placing any dtb.img in /boot failed (btw. is this expected behaviour or a bug?).
Looking through this thread, I noticed that ppl managed to get it going for earlier releases by compiling kernel, but I'm hopping this isn't needed any longer.
Anyone has an idea/tips how to go about troubleshooting this problem?
