Hi, I try official Sid image found at https://www.armbian.com/station-m1/ and can't activate bluetooth on my Station M1 : root@station-m1:~# hciconfig hci0: Type: Primary Bus: UART BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:106 acl:0 sco:0 events:2 errors:0 TX bytes:100 acl:0 sco:0 commands:2 errors:0 root@station-m1:~# hciconfig hci0 up Can't init device hci0: No such file or directory (2) It seems the firmware of rtl8723ds doesn't load : [ 14.182722] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: examining hci_ver=08 hci_rev=000d lmp_ver=08 lmp_subver=8723 [ 14.193986] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: rom_version status=0 version=2 [ 14.200442] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_fw.bin [ 14.215685] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_config.bin [ 14.223222] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: no UART config entry found armbianmonitor -u : http://ix.io/4gs2 I've tried many other 5.x images so far without success. Any hint to understand/solve this problem ?

This bug is fixed in current module. Does anyone know where to look to debug or help to debug the bluetooth on Station M1 ?

Or something to do with this (old ?) bug : Realtek Bluetooth controller failed to download firmware larger than 32K ?

Maybe another track around the firmware : dmesg |egrep -i "RTL|hci0" [ 11.207253] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: examining hci_ver=08 hci_rev=000d lmp_ver=08 lmp_subver=8723 [ 11.211722] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: rom_version status=0 version=2 [ 11.211773] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_fw.bin [ 11.226538] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_config.bin [ 11.262916] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: cfg_sz 47, total sz 30147 [ 13.282610] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc20 tx timeout [ 21.478655] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: download fw command failed (-110) the files exist ls -l /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723ds* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 47 May 20 12:25 /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_config.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 48988 May 20 12:25 /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723ds_fw.bin but the loading fails. Bad firmware ? Chris

A check of Armbian_22.05.0-trunk_Station-m1_sid_edge_5.18.0_xfce_desktop.img.xz shows same thing. Looking deeper I see a unit related to bluetooth and it's uart which is dead : root@station-m1:# systemctl status sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0\x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device ○ sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device - /sys/devices/platform/ff130000.serial/serial0/serial0x2d0/bluetooth/hci0 Loaded: loaded Active: inactive (dead) Try to restart it : root@station-m1:# systemctl start sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0\x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device Job for sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device timed out. root@station-m1:/boot/dtb/rockchip# systemctl status sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0\x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device ○ sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device - /sys/devices/platform/ff130000.serial/serial0/serial0x2d0/bluetooth/hci0 Loaded: loaded Active: inactive (dead) Jun 04 13:57:07 station-m1 systemd[1]: sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device: Job sys-devices-platform-ff130000.serial-serial0-serial0x2d0-bluetooth-hci0.device/start timed out.

So there is something broken around that unit (dtb ?). An idea ? Chris

Hmm, do you think a Dell U2415 and a Logitech 350 keyboard are non-standard equipments ? Previous images tested on this M1 (same SD card, same cable, same monitor,...) had no display issues. Among : Armbian_21.08.1_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.10.60.img.xz Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Station-m1_bullseye_edge_5.16.8.img.xz Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.15.18.img.xz Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Station-m1_buster_legacy_4.4.213_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian_21.08.1_Station-m1_buster_current_5.10.60.img.xz Armbian_22.02.1_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.15.25.img.xz Armbian_22.05.1_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.17.9.img.xz LibreELEC-ARMv8.aarch64-11.0-devel-20220217100543-8bd19d9-rk3328-roc-pc.img ... The new ones have problem posted above, so I suspected they were faulty. Maybe it has to do with screen resolution (1920x1200 for the Dell, 1920x1080 for the TV), hdmi version,... ?? I got (with difficulty) a "armbianmonitor -u" (from Armbian_22.05.1_Station-m1_jammy_current_5.17.9.img.xz) at http://ix.io/3Zik If you think exposing that is misleading people I'm sorry and you may delete this thread. Chris

unfortunately it seems till unsupported in last 5.17 official images Perhaps because due to the lack of /dev/ttyS2 used by BT ? However it appears in dmesg : [ 3.275178] ff130000.serial: ttyS2 at MMIO 0xff130000 (irq = 20, base_baud = 1500000) is a 16550A [ 3.275619] serial serial0: tty port ttyS2 registered What is missing ? Chris

in fact it depends on the screen used ! I connected the M1 on a TV screen and the display was ok (Armbian_22.05.1_Station-m1_jammy_current_5.17.9.img.xz). Bug in the mali driver ? Is it possible to boot in a video safe mode ?

thanks for your tests but if I rewrite one of previous tested images, Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.15.18.img.xz for example, it displays on the screen as before. Is there differences between your M1 and mine ? Mine is 2G/16G.

No more video with Armbian_22.05.1_Station-m1_jammy_current_5.17.9.img.xz but a ssh connection is possible ! Unfortunately "armbianmonitor -u" gives "System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to no results to fetchPlease post the URL in the forum where you've been asked for."

this one is obviously truncated. The one without video I tried is Armbian_22.05.1_Station-m1_bullseye_current_5.17.9.img.xz (415M)

Hi, I tried the new Bullseye image from https://www.armbian.com/station-m1/ to check bluetooth support but nothing is displayed on the screen at boot. No video signal come from the Station M1. The TF card used works with other images. Any hints ? Chris

Hi, is it possible to switch off the GPU of the Station M1 to reduce power in headless server application ? Chris

Hi, any hope to have a 5.x server image with support for the M1 bluetooth soon ? Chris
