Hello everyone,

 

I managed to have armbian running on my H5, nearly everything is fine so far, boots from NAND, have NodeJs perfectly running, but i do need to have Bluetooth support, basically that was a reason why i got the board. Anyone can tell me how to enable BT support from command line please?

 

Regards,

Evi

It is not implemented yet. You can use some USB based until then - it should work out of the box. You only need to enable Bluetooth support within armbian-config or install appropriate userspace packages manually.

Is there an issue for this or some other way I can track it's status?

 

I'd really like to help and get this working, but I am having trouble getting started.  I have setup the build environment and have created images for the OPiZero2+H5 but have no idea what to try to get BT up and running.  There are scattered hints here in the forums, but most are over my head.

 

Is there a resource that would guide me in the right direction?

 

Thanks.

Happysax I am trying to contribute also and I just came across in the armbian doc with this: 

 

https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/

 

I’m still learning, yet see if that would help

enable overlay uart 1

and add

param_uart1_rtscts=1

 

to armbianenv.txt

 

and adjust /etc/init.d/ap6212-bluetooth so it looks like this

 

  # Start patching
        rfkill unblock all
        echo "0" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        echo "1" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        echo " " > /dev/$PORT
        devmem2 0x1f00060 b 1
        echo 10 > /sys/class/gpio/export
        echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/direction
        echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
        echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
        sleep 0.1
        hciattach /dev/$PORT bcm43xx 115200 flow bdaddr $MAC_OPTIONS
        hciconfig hci0 up

 

 and reboot

 

oh you might need to install devmem2

@Myy I wonder if this might be able to be adapted for Tinker mainline bluetooth?

 

So much time so little to do!...  Strike that, reverse it.

Aha ! I'll try this tonight ! Though I forgot the chip they used in the Tinky. It's a broadcom too ? I'll take a look.

It's a Realtek 8723BS, but operates the same way. (any guess what BS stands for? ;-) ). I actually think we should wipe out the DTS entry that's there for it and start over, since that one appears to be tied somehow to the Rockchip special rfkill system.  I was able to get it to start the handshake by toggling the gpio pins associated, so this might be a template for getting to to work properly.  Ok, enough off-topic.  :-D

I use this solution what you had wrote,but the effect is not significant.   my img is Armbian_5.42_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Debian_stretch_dev_4.16.img .   

It's my armbianEnv.txt: 

verbosity=1
console=both
overlay_prefix=sun50i-h5
overlays=analog-codec i2c0 i2c1 i2c2 spdif-out spi-add-cs1 spi-jedec-nor spi-spi
dev uart1 uart2 uart3 usbhost2 usbhost3
rootdev=UUID=7c11e787-9feb-44a1-9942-c646b86c1d10
rootfstype=ext4
usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u
param_uart1_rtscts=1

It's my /etc/init.d/ap6212-bluetoot 

# Start patching
        rfkill unblock all
        echo "0" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        echo "1" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        echo " " > /dev/$PORT
        devmem2 0x1f00060 b 1
        echo 10 > /sys/class/gpio/export
        echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/direction
        echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
        echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
        sleep 0.1
        #on orangepi win following command never ends on first try... force to r
un with a timeout...
        #timeout 5s echo " " > /dev/$PORT
        #if [ $? != 0 ]; then
                #timed out... retry
        #        echo " " > /dev/$PORT
        #fi
        hciattach /dev/$PORT bcm43xx 115200 flow bdaddr $MAC_OPTIONS
        hciconfig hci0 up

but when i reboot or use  this

                           /etc/init.d/ap6212-bluetooth start

return

Is it wrong to use it? or How can i fix it?

You have to install devmem2 

 

Thank you for your reply！ 

but I'am already install devmem2,I think my mistake is somewhere else.

i use this script to test: 

#!/bin/bash
PORT="ttyS1"
MAC_OPTIONS="43:29:B1:55:01:01"
rfkill unblock all
echo "0" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo "1" > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo " " > /dev/$PORT
devmem2 0x1f00060 b 1
echo 10 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/direction
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value
sleep 0.1
hciattach /dev/$PORT bcm43xx 115200 flow bdaddr $MAC_OPTIONS
hciconfig hci0 up

result: 

root@H5:~# ./blue.sh
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0xffff9eab1000.
Value at address 0x1F00060 (0xffff9eab1060): 0x1
Written 0x1; readback 0x1
bcm43xx_init
Initialization timed out.
Can't get device info: No such device

devmem2 seems are correct... I don't know what to do now

Don't use "dev" branch images because they have broken overlays. Only "next" branch images with kernel 4.14 may work.

Thank you ！     

I'm so sad , Because when i use Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14.img,  This problem has arisen "Starting kernel" reboots.

Now i try  to use the nanopi-neo-plus2 image . If I successfully solve, I will feedback in time

thnx zhen8883

 

i didm't notice that bluetooth was again not working . last weeks i fighting with spi and a nrf20l01 i can't get it working with mysensors and the rf24 lib works a bit

 

but i tried al armbians from 5.38 till 5.46 and kernels from 4.14.14 till 4.14.48  and suddenly it is not working anymore . and i saw your blogs and tried a orangepi distro and works right away when activate it .

 

only thing that was mentioned in the mailine bluetooth thread was that the rts and cts are not bind to uart1 in the dts file  so i include them and  and put them both in the main dts but no effect

 

i got the info from other threads but hte problems are similar  i guess it is the binding of uart1 or the wake up routine is not going well
