Ok, think that's why you have this kind of 'default' address, you should be able to provision a valid address with btmgmt tool. The chip can work without applying patch file, original firmware is then executed, which is potentially more or less buggy. > By adding a firmware [1] to the location it actually now stops > working, although shows up with a hciconfig, and had the following > errors. > > [ 26.078038] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: chip id 94 > [ 26.096797] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: features 0x2e > [ 28.130753] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c14 tx timeout > [ 36.322725] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reading local name failed (-110) Really weird, because these steps are prior firmware loading, moreover on HCI command timeout, the HCI core is supposed to retry sending of the command, here nothing happened between [28.13] and [36.32].... Could you please try to load hci_uart.ko manually after boot to see if it could be related to some init timings/concurrency. Regards, Loic
