im using raspberry 4.even though i run internalbule with root user,it shows

_sendThreadFunc: Sending to socket failed, reestablishing connection.
    With HCI sockets, some HCI commands require root!

what shall i do to figure it.

Hi @lometsj,

some HCI commands require root on Linux, meaning that they time out if they're not sent as root.

In your case, when you're already executing InternalBlue as root, the reason is more likely that your HCI interface is down or the BlueZ stack is not running properly. Can you actually scan for nearby devices, establish connections, etc. using hcitool or bluetoothctl?
