Luckily, a good user provided a patch to solve the problem and he was asking for feedback on how his patch worked. Searching in the Bluetooth-related kernel reports on Bugzilla led me to the following 2013 bug report where users are having the exact same issue as I do. This gave me a relief, a hope that my Bluetooth adapter can work well on Linux, and that I just need to find a way to make it identifiable by the system. But sometimes, even CSR chip may have issues in identifying itself for the Linux kernel for the first time. So you can use this keyword on Google to find related information and users having similar issues with the Bluetooth adapter.Ī search in the online forums of various Linux distributions and how their users are dealing with Bluetooth issues on Linux showed me that Bluetooth adapters using CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) chipset have better Linux compatibility than the ones using Broadcom chipset, as the latter is so buggy with Linux. The 0a12:0001 part is the most important part, because it is the ID of the chipset running inside the Bluetooth adapter. ![]() Finding The Needed Patch/Information Onlineįirst, listing my Bluetooth USB type gave me the following information: lsusbīus 001 Device 006: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) This is to help you get a general idea on how the kernel patching process works, and how you can possibly do the same thing to fix your non-compatible hardware issues with Linux, shall you face any in the future. This is a very simple tutorial that will guide you on how to fix your hardware issues with Linux using a real life scenario, which is the unknown Bluetooth adapter in our case. That’s it.Īnd then, the Bluetooth adapter worked like charm. Hi I have a Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) on Ubuntu 20.04, it's recognized but the bluetooth isn't turn on. What I did was simply that I searched for the problem online, found a patch, applied it on the latest kernel’s source code, built the new kernel and installed it. Luckily, Linux is quite helpful in this regard. And this was an issue because I don’t want to buy another Bluetooth adapter and spend more time searching on this problem. Bluetooth was always turned off and I couldn’t turn it on, and the adapter was classified as unknown by the kernel. Sadly, it didn’t work on my Linux distribution (Kernels 5.5, 5.6, 5.7.). Probably one of these poor-quality adapters that are being sold everywhere. I bought a cheap Bluetooth 5.0 adapter from a local market (What a mistake!), and it was too cheap to the level that it didn’t have a vendor name on it. 5 Installing the New Patched Linux Kernel.4 Building the Linux Kernel From Source.3 Applying the Patch on the Kernel Source Code.2 Retrieving the Latest Kernel Source Code.1 Finding The Needed Patch/Information Online.It would be nice to have kext module for this inexpensive bluetooth module available under CLOVER/kexts and keep OSX untouched. I know that it can be done as it is done with AppleALC.kext module to support "unsupported" sound codecs (I use one of them ALC883). I looked at following webpage and due lack of knowledge in this field I do not know how to do it properly I wonder what would involve to make a "stand alone" kext for this module. ![]() My guess is that as I use "extended" FakeSMC.kext (reports HDD, Video Card temperature and CPU freq/temperature) there could be some incompatibility with FakeSMC.kext. I've followed your suggestion and inserted the section into my FakeSMC.kext/Content/ist - after reboot the system had a progress bar on black background and hang there for a while, then the screen turned black (probably the screen saver kicked in). ![]()
