Testing out the new kernel in my raspi2 board.

I have found that I have the same problem with my sound stuttering every couple of seconds. I never have this problem with kernels that
are compiled for the board like Barryk.

Olle - unlikely. FatdogArm is compiled from scratch, I don't use existing distros as the base.

Hi,

Just found FatDogArm, and love the concept. I have installed Beta5 on a Pi2 with a RedBear IOT_phat that basicaly gives Pi3 chipset WLan and BlueTooth.

Was hoping (far fetched idea I know.... lol) to have had the Pi3 bluetooth available. Do you have any idea if you will have time to look into this soon, or any pointers as to what needs doing... Or where to look to attempt to add it myself.

I can confirm that the WLAN is working in this setup lovely, and so far it all works fine except the bluetooth I had hope for ;-(

To Inrong....

Try BarryK's Quirky Xerus version
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=108132

He was apparently able to get his bluetooth devices to work.

Cheers Don570,

I will look at this. The main issue is I will be powering the PI from the BT speaker (will be a pi Zero eventually) so PupMode2 is not ideal. However lets see if I can make a hybrid.

I will let you all know how I get on.....

Pi3 bluetooth seems simple enough. I just need to build the correct version of hciattach (read: Broadcom's mangled version of that thing). Some other people have fished the info out of Raspi guy's hands (you need to be very very very very nice and patient to this guy or he won't play ball), so it's just a matter of (finding) the time to do so.

Would be excellent if you find the time.

I have tried the simple solution of building the latest blueZ5 with the patches and it does not quite work on mine. I am sure there will be other issues with using 5 not 4, but thought I would try 1 step at a time.

I tried to download the source package for blueZ-4.101 from your ibiblio archive but it kept failing -550 error, was it my end or theirs? I am sure the major parts of the patches can be hand inserted.

I will keep playing..

I am getting 404 'not found error' as well

Cheers for the thought ally, don't suppose you have found the source code file though

bluez4 (and any other version of bluez) is available here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/.

bluez-tools source - that was a mistake on my part, I have corrected the access, it should work now.

Thanks jamesbond,

I grabbed the bluez4-101 from the fatdog64 sources. I have patched it, and it is getting closer, but won't yet install the firmware. Tried the 10-bluetooth-imx6 and that looked promising, but is for differing arch so not immediately correct...

I will keep trying

please leave build notes I really need a worjking blutooth keyboard. I know the one I have works perfectly with FatDog64 and confused as all get out why using same tools it doesn't work in RPi in puppylinux world, everybody elses OS I have tried works.
I do not want to jump ship..
