Bluetooth not working on Onda v975w

Device ttyS0 shows up as the emulation of a console TTY. As 'dmesg | grep tty' does not show the registration of any other TTYs, are you sure the BT device uses a serial port? Does it show up with lsusb? If the device is really attached to ttyS0, then you will likely need to change the baud rate as well.

The configuration should be OK. The Ubuntu 3.19 configuration has the ALTERA devices enabled, but none of those drivers are loaded.

[hadess]

Silly me, Loic already answered my question months ago: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg126863.html

I need the 8250_dw driver compiled and loaded. Building a new kernel now.

[lwfinger]

Congratulations. This gives me an idea on how to make the TTY selection be a part of the start script. Are there any other modules besides 8250_dw that are needed? I'll check the list on my TW100, but having your input would be valuable.

[hadess]

No other modules needed, no.

[lwfinger]

I just pushed a script change. It works with no BT device and on the TW100. Does it work on the Onda?

[hadess]

@garnacho will have to test this when I deliver the tablet to him beginning of August (it's been reset and reinstalled).

[dynek]

I have just tried it on my onda v975w tablet and it seems to be working OK. I haven't tried further than building it and running the script:

@hadess did you test on kernel 4.9? I have the exact same card (the wifi works fine btw, thanks!) but neither hciconfig nor rfkill list the card. It prints the dmesg message, but otherwise it prints the H5 sync timed out error. I compiled the kernel using Debian .config and patches needed for the wifi card, is there anything special I have to do?

[hadess]

I don't have this hardware any more, and my other BayTrail tablet can't install my preferred distribution. Read the above carefully and make sure you have the expected device drivers compiled.
