rtl8852be bluetooth not working

[ndrewpj]

Hi! I am using the Orangi pi 5 plus 'official' WIFI/Bluetooth PCIe card with the latest Ubuntu release here (1.21). WIFI is working great, the BT part of the card is detected as a device but shows no devices in the list when scanning, it shows non-stop 'scanning' icon in the BT menu.

[Joshua-Riek]

I have not noticed an official WIFI/Bluetooth card. Could you point me to it? I would be happy to add support. My guess is the Bluetooth firmware needs to be added.

Sure, it is RTL8852BE M.2 : https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=WWPDZUc

[Joshua-Riek]

Hmm it looks like firmware is installed, could you provide me with dmesg logs? You can type dmesg > dmesg.txt in console and then upload the file here.

[Joshua-Riek]

I looked at the kernel source and the Bluetooth driver is not included, I will need to port it. This will take some time because I need to order the hardware for testing.

[dongxuanlb]

@ndrewpj you may try this:

root@rock-5b:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist pgdrv blacklist btusb blacklist btrtl blacklist btbcm blacklist btintel

root@rock-5b:~# reboot

which from the rock5b or rock5a

I have a patch https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/linux-rockchip/commit/aa0c32e0113936996908ec3431fc359182f9b1d8 that is not tested but should work for rtl8852be.

[ndrewpj]

I have a patch Joshua-Riek/linux-rockchip@aa0c32e that is not tested but should work for rtl8852be.

How can I apply it?

You will need to build the kernel, I can't give instructions right now. But I can build it later today and give you a link to download and install it with the patch.

I'm also using the RTL8852BE WiFi adapter and also have problems with it. WiFi and Bluetooth are both not working and they keep scanning for networks/devices.

[Joshua-Riek]

My dev build is finished. Please try installing it with the below steps, then reboot your system. Let me know if Bluetooth is working after reboot.

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/679939334/linux-image-5.10.160-rockchip_5.10.160-8_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-5.10.160-rockchip_5.10.160-8_arm64.deb
sync
sudo reboot now

[ndrewpj]

Nope, this did not help

[Joshua-Riek]

I see. Thanks for the feedback. I have the card ordered. Once it's delivered, I can debug.

[Joshua-Riek]

I did some testing, and it looks like adding the below text to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and rebooting will allow Bluetooth and WiFi to work correctly.

blacklist pgdrv
blacklist btusb
blacklist btrtl
blacklist btbcm
blacklist btintel

[TuTuc0]

Thanks a lot. Bluetooth is now fixed. However wifi is still unable to find any networks. I have also noticed, that there are two wifi devices displayed: PCI Wifi and Wifi.

[RobertTutaev]

Me too. Sometimes when you press the power button twice consecutively, wi-fi turns on.

[Joshua-Riek]

Did you both do as described in https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/issues/286#issuecomment-1672414608? It should be working fine after a reboot.

[RobertTutaev]

I did as recommended.

[Joshua-Riek]

Weird, I'm not sure why that would happen, it works on my end.

[RobertTutaev]

Experimented with turning on the device.

[chemradio]

Have the same issue. After a clean install - WiFi works as expected, Bluetooth does not work at all.

After adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf these lines:

blacklist btusb
blacklist btrtl
blacklist btbcm
blacklist btintel

but not adding blacklist pgdrv I am able to run both Bluetooth And WiFi. However WiFi works well only if the bluetooth was disabled before previous shutdown. If i shut down with bluetooth keyboard connected, WiFi does not see any networks on the next boot up. How can I solve this? Can you help me please?

[RobertTutaev]

We need a new issue. The current issue is closed.
