Bluetooth Debian Testing

[wasgurd]

Hi there,

I'm using Debian Testing from Unofficial installer and bluetooth doesn't work for me.

Code:

$ blueman-manager
blueman-manager version 2.1.1 starting
blueman-manager 01.50.27 ERROR    Manager:118 on_dbus_name_appeared: Default adapter not found, trying first available.
blueman-manager 01.50.27 ERROR    Manager:122 on_dbus_name_appeared: No adapter(s) found, exiting

Code:

$ dmesg | grep bluetooth
[   20.854175] bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM4345C5.hcd failed with error -2

Code:

uname -a
Linux pinebookpro 5.4.2-2-pinebookpro-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 7 09:59:56 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Code:

/lib/modules/5.4.2-2-pinebookpro-arm64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth$ ls
ath3k.ko    bfusb.ko   btbcm.ko    btmrvl.ko       btqca.ko  btrtl.ko   btusb.ko     hci_vhci.ko
bcm203x.ko  bpa10x.ko  btintel.ko  btmrvl_sdio.ko  btrsi.ko  btsdio.ko  hci_uart.ko

Yes, I need something like ap6256 firmware, but where I can get it? Any repository?

Radxa lists it as available within their repo, but they don't list direct support for Bullseye yet, so you may need to do a little fiddling.

Well, it doesn't work with Bullseye.

I tried to copy https://github.com/armbian/firmware/tree...4345C5.hcd to /lib/firmware/brcm/ directly but it doesn't work as well.
Could I download any sources to build or how can I solve it?

I'm not too proficiet with this sort of thing,
BUT,  possibly 'Synaptic' as it is supposed to 'resolve dependancies'  ?
IF it does not work,  Then it is easy to remove the added software.

Usually, dmesg will tell about devices, so just after reboot (and grep to find easily)

dmesg |grep firm  OR    dmesg |grep luetoo

The firmware has to be in the "right " place

Sadly, I am running into this issue as well. Someone must have built / used this firmware with kernel 5.4, right? I mean, the Manjaro guys seem to be doing fine with it...

[xmixahlx]

wow so I found this exact issue last night too. I suspected that the kernel isn't building the right support modules. if you look at the default Debian OS syslog you have different output.

I pulled the hcd file from one of ayufan's repositories.

was going to look at this again tonight...

/lib/firmware/brcm/ seems like the right place based on syslog messages. the hcd is picked up fine

[xmixahlx]

default os bluetooth syslog: https://pastebin.com/cV5crntn
default os /lib/firmware/brcm/ folder: https://pastebin.com/BML7PLMY

can anyone with manjaro experience comment on bluetooth support?

[wdt]

On pbp, booted manjaro, only have bt keyboard, connected OK
