Support #915
Updated by Daniel Curtis over 6 years ago
I recently installed Antergos 17.12 Linux on my Intel STCK1A8LFC Compute Stick, and while the WiFi worked out of the box the Bluetooth did not. This is a guide on getting bluetooth working on Antergos on an Intel STCK1A8LFC Compute Stick.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Make sure a few required packages are installed:
<pre>
sudo pacman -S git base-devel
</pre>
h2. Install rtl8723bs_bt
* Clone the rtl8723bs_bt repo:
<pre>
mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt.git
cd rtl8723bs_bt
</pre>
* Make and install the bluetooth driver:
<pre>
make
sudo make install
</pre>
* Copy the program and helper script to /usr/local/bin:
<pre>
sudo cp {rtk_hciattach,start_bt.sh} /usr/local/bin
</pre>
* Edit the start_bt.sh helper script:
<pre>
sudo vi /usr/local/bin/start_bt.sh
</pre>
#* And change the @./rtk_hciattach@ command to the following:
<pre>
/usr/local/bin/rtk_hciattach -n -s 115200 $TTY rtk_h5 > hciattach.txt 2>&1 &
</pre>
h3. systemd unit
* Create the rtl8723bs_bt systemd unit file:
<pre>
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/rtl8723bs_bt.service
</pre>
#* And add the following
<pre>
[unit]
Description=rtl8723bs_bt
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/start_bt.sh
TimeoutSec=0
StandardInput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</pre>
* Reload the systemd daemon:
