s905x Bluetooth QCA9377

[DiogoSilva48]

Hi. I'm the same user as these 3 last issues ( #342 #338 #98 )which helped me a lot, thank you. Now I have this problem where the Bluetooth doesn't work, I had the same problem in LibreElec where Bluetooth doesn't work because the dtb doesn't start it.

I had the same issue with LibreElec and the devs were able to fix it by making a custom dtb that loads the kernel driver.

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/22564-official-le-test-images-for-amlogic-kodi-20/?pageNo=26 here's the thread where it's mentioned.

https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/a75f168a876fcea98c160d96b5e15c0bf4d2f941/projects/Amlogic/devices/AMLGX/patches/linux/amlogic-0070-WIP-arm64-dts-meson-add-support-for-TBee-Box.patch here's the patch they did.

I tried the exact same dtb here but didn't boot, maybe you can make a dtb based on the regular p212 that makes my Bluetooth work? Thank you and sorry for trouble.

I get this kernel panic

dmesg | grep Blue*

which dtb did you originally use? This is the bluetooth added on meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dts

[DiogoSilva48]

dmesg | grep Blue*

I can't, it panics, I can't type anything.

I used that exact one. Let me try again and see.

Which version of the kernel are you using now? 5.15.y?

Yes, 5.15. Tried again, just switching the dtb to the other one it boots, changing again to the new one, panic.

Compiled under the 5.15.59 kernel, you download this, just above is the 5.10.135 kernel

Yup, it's working fine now, thank you very much.

Btw, if I don't use ethernet, is there a way to remove all that delay of 1minute and a half on the "Rising Network Connections" at boot?

Ok, I submitted this dtb to the upstream kernel source code, it can be used later, what is the name of your box? Post a product link.

The product is called TBee, here's the product link https://www.tbee.com/product/tbee-box/ . You already added it to the device list you have.

Can the wireless be used after changing this dtb?

[DiogoSilva48]

Yes, Wireless works just fine, thank you!!
