Bluetooth mouse with Porteus
Posted: 25 Jun 2022, 17:53
Bluetooth mouse wasn't discoverable on Toshiba notebook running Porteus but
was discoverable on hp notebook.
Looked closer at Toshiba, trying to understand Porteus boot logs, found at ...
Clicked on Porteus logo, Applications, System, Porteus System Information, logs, Dmesg, Open current file, to show:
[ 10.902117] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu
[ 10.902118] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
[ 10.902128] ath3k: probe of 1-4.1:1.0 failed with error -2
What's in folder ar3k? Which module is it in?
Looked in porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm, which I 'extracted' [right-click on filename].
Saw 000-kernel/lib/firmware/ar3k/ but didn't find .dfu firmware.
Downloaded AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu from an online repository.
Copied into 000-kernel/lib/firmware/ar3k/, compressed 000-kernel to .xzm and placed in porteus/base/
Rebooted Porteus but found in Dmesg log that another file was required:
ark3/ramps_0x31010100_40.dfu
Obtained a copy of this online, extracted 000-kernel.xzm again, added second .dfu into ar3k/ and re-compressed.
Rebooted Porteus and the mouse could be 'paired' , so SOLVED
