Bluetooth Pairing Failed

[khaled]

I am trying to pair my Android with Tinkerboard. Unfortunately, it is failing every time.
On the Android side, a dialog box comes up with passkey and I press OK, but no luck.

Below is the console log

Code:

root@AnyConnect-Tinkerboard:~# bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 80:91:33:92:62:96 AnyConnect-Tinkerboard [default]
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# discoverable on
Changing discoverable on succeeded
[CHG] Controller 80:91:33:92:62:96 Discoverable: yes
[bluetooth]# pairable on
Changing pairable on succeeded
[bluetooth]# agent NoInputNoOutput
Agent registered
[NEW] Device 7C:F9:0E:29:77:88 Device Name
[CHG] Device 7C:F9:0E:29:77:88 Connected: no
[DEL] Device 7C:F9:0E:29:77:88 Device Name
[bluetooth]# devices
[bluetooth]#

From the HCI sniffer, it is evident that even though the passkey is confirmed from Android, Tinkerboard is timing out. The respective HCI packet sniffer log is given below

Code:

> HCI Event: User Confirmation Request (0x33) plen 10
   bdaddr 7C:F9:0E:29:77:88 passkey 955467
> HCI Event: Simple Pairing Complete (0x36) plen 7
   status 0x22 bdaddr 7C:F9:0E:29:77:88
   Error: LMP Response Timeout

   status 0x00 handle 2 reason 0x13
   Reason: Remote User Terminated Connection

Following the very same steps, I can pair with Raspberry Pi with no issue.

I have attached 'blueoothctl' and 'hcidump' console logs for both "Tinkerboard" and "Raspberry Pi" for convenience.

Following is the Tinkerboard specification

Code:

root@AnyConnect-Tinkerboard:~# uname -a
Linux AnyConnect-Tinkerboard 4.4.132+ #1 SMP Wed Aug 21 19:15:55 CST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@AnyConnect-Tinkerboard:~# cat /etc/os-release

NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"

root@AnyConnect-Tinkerboard:~#

Can someone please pinpoint what's I am doing wrong?
