RTL8723bs Bluetooth

[JulianM]

Hi jhawk,

have you followed the instructions on https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt?
I needed to copy the following files into "/usr/local/sbin/bluetooth/" after "make" and "make install".
- hciattach.txt
- rtk_hciattach
- start_bt.sh

The scripts has been installed to...
- /usr/local/sbin/pine64_bluetooth.sh
- /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth-module.service

I was able to type some commands in [bluetoothctl]# after copying these files into "/usr/local/sbin/bluetooth/"... BUT!
I don't know what exactly the problem is, but bluez seems to have bugs.

Btw: I'm using longsleep's Ubuntu image xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161218-1.img

Here are some quotes:
