9 | | - This section will be updated shortly with detailed instructions and information. Stay tuned for more! |
| 9 | +The Axon SBC includes an integrated Bluetooth 5.2 interface based on the |
| 10 | +**Realtek RTL8852BS** chipset (module: 6252B-SR). |
| 11 | +Bluetooth is used for connecting wireless peripherals such as keyboards, |
| 12 | +mice, audio devices, and sensors. |

| 21 | +Hardware Details |
| 22 | +---------------- |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- **Chipset**: Realtek RTL8852BS |
| 25 | +- **Bluetooth Version**: Bluetooth 5.2 / BLE |
| 26 | +- **Host Interface**: UART |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Linux Support |
| 29 | +------------- |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Bluetooth is supported using the Linux **BlueZ** stack. |
| 32 | +Firmware must be available under ``/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/``. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The Bluetooth controller is typically exposed as ``hci0``. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Using Blueman (GUI Method) |
| 37 | +-------------------------- |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. Launch Blueman Manager: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + .. code-block:: bash |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | + blueman-manager |
| 44 | +
|
| 45 | +2. Ensure Bluetooth is **ON** (top toolbar). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +3. Click **Search** to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +4. Select the target device from the list and click **Pair**. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +5. Confirm the pairing request on both devices if prompted. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +6. After pairing, right-click the device and select **Connect**. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Blueman provides an easy graphical interface for managing Bluetooth devices. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Using bluetoothctl (CLI Method) |
| 58 | +------------------------------- |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Start Bluetooth control utility: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 63 | +
|
| 64 | + bluetoothctl |
| 65 | +
|
| 66 | +Inside the prompt, run: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 69 | +
|
| 70 | + power on |
| 71 | +
|
| 72 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 73 | +
|
| 74 | + scan on |
| 75 | +
|
| 76 | +Once the device appears (example MAC address): |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Pair device using MAC addresse: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + pair AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +Trust device using MAC addresse: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 87 | +
|
| 88 | + trust AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF |
| 89 | +
|
| 90 | +Connect device using MAC addresse: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 93 | +
|
| 94 | + connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF |
| 95 | +
|
| 96 | +Stop scanning and exit: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 99 | +
|
| 100 | + scan off |
| 101 | +
|
| 102 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 103 | +
|
| 104 | + quit |
| 105 | +
|
| 106 | +Troubleshooting |
| 107 | +--------------- |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +- Check hci device using below command : |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +.. code-block:: |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + hciconfig -a |
| 114 | +
|
| 115 | +**Expected Device** |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +.. code-block:: |

| 135 | +
|
| 136 | +- Check kernel logs if Bluetooth does not appear: |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | + .. code-block:: bash |
| 139 | +
|
| 140 | + dmesg | grep -i bluetooth |
| 141 | +
|
| 142 | +- Verify firmware files: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | + .. code-block:: bash |
| 145 | +
|
| 146 | + ls /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/ |
| 147 | +
|
| 148 | +- You can reinstall firmware by using below command : |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +.. code-block:: |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | + sudo apt update |
| 153 | + sudo apt install vicharak-firmware |
| 154 | +
|
| 155 | +- Reboot after installing firmware or drivers. |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +Notes |
| 158 | +----- |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +- BLE support depends on kernel and BlueZ version. |
