When looking at it with bluetoothctl I get this:
pine64-pinetab:~# bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#
From the pinetab wiki:
Bluetooth
Bluetooth also works on this device after installing firmware-rtl8723bt, there is a patch series on LKML.
I've installed this:
firmware-pine64-rtl8723bt
That didn't solve it
