Ask Fedora

Hello,
I installed Fedora 34 Server on my RaspberryPi 3.
But I am not able to get Bluetooth working.

Are there some tips the check if the Hardware is supported?

Raspberry 3 has a Broadcom chip? That may need a binary blob from 3rd party.

In general, you can check support here: Find parts

Good morning,
nmcli says this:
Broadcom BCM43438 combo and Bluetooth Low Energy
I’ am able to turn the wifi on and off etc so I think the " wifi" part of this combo chip is working.
I don’t know how to get the Bluetooth part working with Fedora server 34.

#systemctl status bluetooth
bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running)
And
#cat /sys/module/bluetooth/initstate
live

And on the Architectures/ARM/Raspberry Pi - Fedora Project Wiki says Bluetooth should work.

#rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 wlan phy0 blocked unblocked

#bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# show
No default controller available

I running out of options here, bought some RuuviTags I would like to connect to the Pi and like working with Fedora.

Any suggestions?

I see that the RuuviTag Python module is using a Depreciated hcitool.
This seems to be availble in Rasberry Pi OS.
So for my use case I will go for RP OS.
