ERROR: Could not find dependency 'firmware-rtl8723bt'

[Engineer]

Does anyone else have the following error when running bootstrap to flash postmarket OS on an SD card?

ERROR: Could not find dependency 'firmware-rtl8723bt' in any aports folder or APKINDEX. See: <https://postmarketos.org/depends>

Sorry I am still a noob with this. I'm sure that if someone could post a solution to this problem here, other end users would also appreciate the help.

I'm guessing you flashed the stable branch? The PinePhone port in there is not ready yet, please try the edge branch instead.

Thats right!

Thank you so much for your help. Everything works now!

I would avoid using Bluetooth right now. If both bluetooth and wifi are active, both wifi and bluetooth performance suffer enormously to the point of unusability. I wouldn't even install the firmware, seems just initializing the bluetooth driver is enough to piss it off.

Yeah, the whole experience is not there yet, as expected.

But I love the UI and the fact that it is running mainline linux on my phinephone! Amazing piece of software engineering 

I am thinking of adding a geiger counter hardware module (maybe even a scintillator gamma spectrometer) and associated software to the pinephone as a battery back/GM counter module on the back. What do you gals and guys think?
