Full Version: Tinkerboard S as BLE beacon not working

I tried to use Tinkerboard S with Ubuntu as a BLE beacon (which works on Raspberry pi) using these commands:

Code:
sudo hciconfig hci0 up
sudo hciconfig hci0 leadv 3
sudo hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x08 0x0008 17 02 01 06 03 03 aa fe 0f 16 aa fe 10 00 03 77 65 62 67 61 7a 65 72 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
< HCI Command: ogf 0x08, ocf 0x0008, plen 32
  17 02 01 06 03 03 AA FE 0F 16 AA FE 10 00 03 77 65 62 67 61
  7A 65 72 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 4
  02 08 20 00

While I received no error, I could not find any beacon with my phone (using a scanner app that works with others like custom ESP32, Sensoro, even with Rpi 3B+).

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
I think that you should check whether the bluetooth works as you address it. Therefore check the response when you issue a hcitool command to the device. Also to see whether the device is listed on the /dev directory.
