This directory contains the programs and firmware to operate the Bluetooth section of the RTL8723BS hardware used on a number of tablets. The main program is called rtk_hciattach. To build this program, issue the following command: make To install the firmware (only needed once): sudo make install To start Bluetooth (needed for each boot), use the command sudo ~/rtl8723bs_bt/start_bt.sh Note: The script assumes that the Bluetooth device is attached to /dev/ttyS4. That may not be correct for your system. To discover the correct serial port, run 'dmesg | grep tty'. You should see two lines that say "ttyXX at MMIO 0xYYYYYYYY. Edit start_bt.sh to set the definition of TTY to use the value of XX for the first of these two lines. As this command will need to be done everytime the system is rebooted, you might consider placing this command in the system startup commands. The path of the command will have to be adjusted. WARNING: This driver needs the H5 protocol, which is built into kernels 3.12 and later. If you need to use an earlier kernel, raise an issue on this repo. Larry Finger
