Bluetooth not working

Products Support DragonBoard410c
#1

Just got my board last week and finally getting around to setting it up today. I am unable to get bluetooth started.

This is the status of the bluetooth service after trying to start it:

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo service bluetooth status

If I try hcitool I don’t see any devices:

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo hcitool dev
Devices:

Do I need to build my own kernel with bluetooth support? Is that the problem? I find it hard to believe that the default setup provided for this board does not include the modules for the builtin hardware.

Anyone able to use Bluetooth on the 410c?

When I do lsmod this is all I see:

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by

Here is the full syslog when I try to start bluetoothd:

Also dmesg does not show anything for Bluetooth:

linaro@linaro-alip:~# dmesg | grep Blue
linaro@linaro-alip:~#
#3

Ok digging some more I see the src on the Linux image. Assuming that the .config in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.0.0-linaro-lt-qcom is the one that was used, it looks like Bluetooth was not included:

linaro@linaro-alip:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.0.0-linaro-lt-qcom$ grep BT_HCI drivers/bluetooth/Kconfig 
config BT_HCIBTUSB
config BT_HCIBTSDIO

linaro@linaro-alip:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.0.0-linaro-lt-qcom$

Anyone know if I install build-essential would I be able to build in this path on the 410c? Or should I set up a separate build environment to build the missing modules?

thanks

#4

@create123 - you are correct. Bluetooth is supported in the 15.06 Android release but not on ubuntu. It needs some init scripts that we haven’t merged in the release yet. I will update this as soon as it is supported.

#5

if you cant wait for the release next month you could do the following:

  1. enable BT on the kernel configuration and reinstall the new kernel
  2. then run the hciattach/hciconfig commands from the shell.
#6

Thanks for the responses.

Steve, any target dates for an updated ubuntu release with BT support?

I am in the process of building a kernel with BT support and have some questions. Which tag/branch do you recommend starting with? The example in the wiki instructions [1] uses integration-linux-qcomlt, however I am wondering if I should just start from ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-15.06.

[1] https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Dragonboard-410c-Boot-Image

#7

I have configured, built and flashed a kernel based on:
git checkout -b kernel-15.06 ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-15.06
Bluetooth is enabled but I’m not sure what tty to attach for the built in Bluetooth. Any ideas?

I have confirmed that Bluetooth works if I use a USB based BT device. I’m just not sure what I am missing to get the onboard BT working.

#8

Could you try adding the following files (udev rule and service) to your filesystem and reboot? they should allow you to enable bluetooth using the ui.

  1. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules

This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules

program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.

You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single

line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

Unknown net device (/devices/platform/wcn36xx/net/wlan0) (wcn36xx)

SUBSYSTEM==“net”, ACTION==“add”, DRIVERS=="?", ATTR{dev_id}==“0x0”, ATTR{type}==“1”, KERNEL=="wlan", NAME=“wlan0”, TAG+=“systemd”, RUN+="/bin/systemctl start wcnss-bt.service "

#9

@ldts, I tried what you suggested but there is no /dev/smd3 so hciattach fails.

Should I build the kernel from a more recent tag/branch?

#10

please enable the following config options:

CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM_SMD=y
CONFIG_BT=y
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=y
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
CONFIG_BT_HIDP=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_3WIRE=y

#11

Thanks. I was missing CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM_SMD. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

#12

Unfortunately that did not do it. This is what I see if I try the hciattach manually.

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/hciattach /dev/smd3 qualcomm E0:CB:EF:9c:0b:ca

dmesg has the following:

I guess I should wait for the official release.

Any thoughts on how far off that may be?

#13

BT support is expected in the July release for DB410c, which if everything goes fine will be available by the end of this week. This release will be using the Linux kernel 4.0 , like the 15.06 release. The integration-linux-qcomlt branch has been migrated to 4.2 already, and is what we will be using in future releases (Aug or Sep), I don’t recommend you use that branch, unless you know what you are doing…

#14

Thanks for the update. I’ll hang on then.

Whats the best way to get notified of new releases? I.e is there a thread in this forum I can subscribe to?

#15

@create123, it’s a good suggestion to create a ‘new release’ thread. i will check how to make one… you can expect 15.07 release either by the end of this week, or early next week.

#16

BTW I had another look and realized my problem was I did not copy the modules over to the rootfs. After I did that and reboot I get the following error:


linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/hciattach /dev/smd3 qualcomm E0:CB:EF:9c:0b:ca

Hello all,
I’m experiencing strange behaviour of bluetooth
file transfer getting failed from my phone to dragonboard but its getting success from dragonboard to myphone. where getting wrong?

Regards,
Laxman

#18

hello @steve-taylor

is it supported in debian linux o.s ? as when i installed debian on dragonboard 410c it is not showing any icon please help how to find it and access.

Thanks in advance!!!

#19

Sorry @ren_snappy but I’m really confused. In the last three hours you’ve posted that:

  • your board doesn’t boot
  • you cannot get the display working
  • when you boot debian you cannot find any bluetooth icon on the
    display
  • that you are running android and cannot get adb to work
  • that you are have trouble following the board recovery instructions
  • that you can’t get audio to work in yocto/openembedded
  • that you can’t get GPS to work in debian
  • that you have hooked up a DHT11 but don’t know how to talk to it

I’m afraid this is simply too much for me to comprehend and your observations are spread across lots of fairly old forum topics which makes it difficult to connect the dots.

Please do not post any further on this topic unless the people you tagged above choose to engage in the conversation with you. In fact I think it is best that, for the next few days, you simply avoid replying to any existing topics.

Instead please start a new topic carefully describing the symptoms your observe and we will try to help.
