Bluetooth not working with Armbian Noble 24.04 (2025-03-07)

[alansrobotlab]

I'm unable to activate bluetooth in the armbian build above.  Confirmed bluetooth working in the vendor radxa bookworm xfce build.

 

Here's what I see in dmesg that may be relevant:

I found a thread over at dietpi that talks about radxa zero 3w hardware rev with a different bluetooth controller.

Can confirm that I have the same bluetooth module listed in dmesg
