Does Bluetooth work with the Radxa zero?

Last Updated on April 15, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

  • One major issue we have that we do not know if Bluetooth works on the Radxa Zero, for instance with armbian focal, altough we studied several demos.
  • A user reported to use an external Bluetooth dongle with Debian on Radxa zero:

  • The developer who developed a off-road mini PC reported to use a Bluetooth keyboard in Debian.
  • Can we add a Bluetooth dongle on a usb hub on the device, and get it to work, if we should have problems with Bluetooth?
  • Can we get an external Bluetooth keyboard to work on the device?
  • The Radxa Zero has an armbian focal OS deme which shows for instance Libre Office running on the device, but can we control it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse? We do not know of any demos about Bluetooth keybards and mouse for the Radxa zero, altough it would be a helpful accessoire.
  • The developer of the off road mini PC reported to use a Bluetooth keybard, but what about armbian focal, does it work with this OS, too?
