l used armbian-config to activate Bluetooth but get this message when I check the status

 

root@nanopim4:~# /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Thu 2019-06-06 07:17:58 BST; 11s ago
           └─ ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth was not met
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

That only installs user land Bluetooth scripts and utilities. Low level driver must be present and it used to be for this board. I noticed few days ago that its not working any more. This means investigation has to be done. Without its hard to tell where is the problem.

Armbian is free and support and R&D is 99% sponsored by Armbian contributors. We all already have 1000+ small tasks as such on the task list(s) and we deal with them whenever we find time. Each new task that is brought up can easily take several years before its resolved. If its not lost or resolved by someone else in the mean time.

 

By anyone that is willing/happy with donating his time and understand how things are made?

I am sure you will be able to solve this if you did. It's not that complex and there are many working examples. I just spent 2 hours to make BT work on Rockpi4. Spent your 2h for a start.

Thanks for your vote of confidence but where do I start ?

apt install bluez
reboot

 

and BT will work. If you have (build) latest image. The same would be installed via armbian-config ... which means you have some older build, where some things might be missing.

I actually downloaded the code and built it and I think it's working but I haven't connected anything yet

It is but it looks this method is not very stable. Another one is already in the works. Need to do more tests ...

Yes, if you have a device up:

hcitool dev

I have a better solution anyway and it (seems to) work, but need to do more tests.

Hi Igor, will the fix be in the nightly build yet ?


No, its part of the image and we only rebuild kernel packages for this board. You need to rebuild it or wait on next update which is not even due.
