Quick heads up, had some time today and sent v3 for kernel review. We'll see if they like it: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/3b6c7c18-dc48-b924-bd09-3638a5c741a4@gmail.com/

I applied these v4 patches on linux 5.17.0

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/20220307200445.5554-1-swyterzone@gmail.com/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/20220307200445.5554-2-swyterzone@gmail.com/

and now my dongle is working for the first time! It never worked before, not in the previous versions of the patch, not in any of the kernels with the patches already included. Thank you so much for your great work.

How did you do that ?
Can you help me with the steps ?
thanks in advance

Just compile and install the latest kernel (5.17.1). It doesn't need any patches and it will work without any problems.

Never read through this whole long thread, but thanks so much senpai! I just updated to linux 5.17 and my dongle works now! I bought a metric ton of them (like 8 or whatever) on aliexpress because they were like 2€s and I keep losing my normal 10€ dongles. I knew it was a gamble from the beginning. I have read about how support for these devices is known problem and there are even blog articles with kernel patches. However, none seemed to cover this specific hardware version. What's worse, trying them in a windows virtual machine actually worked :( Anyways, you did it! I was so happy that I thought I just had to read through the git log and find out who fixie wixied this fucksy upsy!

P.S.: How did you get the kernel guys to respond to you? I have recently made my first kernel patch that even made it into their patchwork:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/patch/b401e453-9c66-15e3-1a1d-21f33b7a64e8@gmail.com/
However so far, no one has actually made a single comment to me about it. I have no idea if they like or despise it and it doesn't even build against the current sources anymore...

Many thanks.

That looks like a reasonable patch to me. Unfortunately the HID subsystem maintainers have been a bit overloaded lately. I would suggest rebasing the patch on 5.17 (or 5.18-rc1 when it is out) and then resending it, with a note that it is a resend because v1 did not get any replies.

Linux 5.17 still needs the v4 patches to be applied manually. You should use Linux 5.17.1.

Swyter commented Apr 1, 2022

@huynp1999 If you read the conversation above with @LevitatingBusinessMan you will see that having the exact enclosure does not guarantee anything. The photos show completely different PCBs and chips, counterfeit vendors mix and mash. Please take a look at that and share the same kind of photos and information. It really helps a lot to identify the different dongle families, finding enough patterns to fix them in a generic fashion.

@MikuChan03 I have also sent four or five trivial patches to the input subsystem since early 2021 and unfortunately no maintainers from that team have reviewed or responded, even after being Acked or Reviewed by others. Even after resending them, as Hans says. I feel like they need more manpower, there's an absolute backlog of submissions going on there that are being bottlenecked at the review stage.

@Swyter oh ok, thank you for your support. I will take a look inside these dongles

the first one that doesn't work:

PXL_20220402_014152078
PXL_20220402_014344188

The second one that works:
PXL_20220402_013513058
PXL_20220402_013551258

additional information: the second one even works with lower kernel (i.e 5.4 or 4.x)

You guys are right, I didn't notice the massive amount of patches pilling up on them. I'll lay back a little and mention it in time.
Have a good one!

@huynp1999 First one you showed (that doesn't work) looks a lot like mine, which I also couldn't get to work.

Swyter commented Apr 2, 2022

Yeah, it's the same PCB revision and everything. Good to have better pics and the chip vendor name. So it was a Barrot Technology one masking as a CSR, and sold as a Realtek. Go figure.

Does the second one that works get detected as a clone? I wonder if the HCI revision and LMP subversion numbers match.

@huynp1999

huynp1999 commented Apr 2, 2022

I'm checking with hciconfig -a and dmesg. The first one don't show anything about HCI and LMP

Result of the second one that works:

HCI Version: 4.0 (0x6)  Revision: 0x22bb
LMP Version: 4.0 (0x6)  Subversion: 0x22bb

Anyone who needs a patch for linux 5.15.x LTS series, can use this patch. Credit goes to @Swyter for creating the original patches.
I just combined them and made it compatible with linux 5.15.x LTS.
It has been tested on linux 5.15.27.

Just copy and save it as a .diff file and apply it on the kernel source.

Mine's working with the kernel 5.10, it's working fine when connected to a typical bluetooth speaker or a single TWS but won't work properly when connected to a TWS (stereo), no sound at all..

Is there any ETA for when the current working patch will be merged into the main kernel? I am currently on kernel version 5.18, and it does not work.. Alternatively is there anyone adding the patch to the AUR?

Swyter commented Jun 23, 2022

Well, it's fixed for all the dongles I have and the ones I bought just to fix more Linux kernel issues. Everything I submitted has been merged.

I can't really justify buying a sack of random AliExpress dongles and wait months for them to arrive and cross my fingers so that the seller is kind enough to not swap the advertised PCB (which happened two months ago, getting specific controllers is crazy hard) just to submit more patches. I bought one of the Barrot ones that still don't work and ended up with a duplicate that worked out of the box already. Super great.

--

I'm just a random Linux user doing it as a hobby after arriving at the same place, there is no ETA. Be the change you want to see in the world, if everyone did what I did with the hardware they own everything would be fixed.

Just make the jump and learn, even if it's through hacks and experimentation it will help getting to the correct solution if you stick around. Often you can fix a dongle by commenting out something or submitting an one-liner.

Thank you for your work on this, @Swyter. You helped inspire me to compile the kernel for the first time and you got my dongle working. I really appreciate the time you took developing the patches and hanging out here answering questions.

How fascinating - on an earlier standard Ubuntu kernel, the one of these I have Just Worked (and worked better than the 1Mii B10 dongle that's supposed to be the gold standard for doing this on Linux!)

But on the 5.15 kernel, it doesn't. I am not sure I have the patience to patch it.

Swyter commented Jan 5, 2023

Try a more updated or newer kernel instead of patching manually. Ubuntu and Debian are notorious for being extremely slow when moving from one version to another. The fix exists, it just hasn't arrived yet to your door. Arch Linux got it in early December, for example.

Thank you! Worked on Ubuntu 22.04! uname -r 5.15.64-bluetooth

Hello, I tried this patch on my Raspberry OS aarch64 with kernel 5.15.89-v8 however it didn't work. My 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode). My usb is still down according to hciconfig. It doesn't work for arm?

Extract the linux-source archive corresponding to your kernel and do the following:

$ patch -p1 < csr-clean.patch
$ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)/net/bluetooth ccflags-y="$(echo "-include "$(pwd)/include/net/bluetooth/{bluetooth.h,hci.h})" modules
$ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)/drivers/bluetooth ccflags-y="$(echo "-include "$(pwd)/include/net/bluetooth/{bluetooth.h,hci.h})" modules
$ strip --strip-debug net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko
$ strip --strip-debug drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko

Then you can replace the old drivers in /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel with the new ones. Don't forget to backup the old files.

I compiled this patch 5.15 but unfortunately it didn't work for my dongle.

It works if you remove the reset code from the bluetooth driver, no patches affect to this adapter

Anyone who needs a patch for linux 5.15.x LTS series, can use this patch. Credit goes to @Swyter for creating the original patches. I just combined them and made it compatible with linux 5.15.x LTS. It has been tested on linux 5.15.27.

Just copy and save it as a .diff file and apply it on the kernel source.

Tossing my picture in for others. Was anyone lucky enough to find the exact chip used or have a module where the markings aren't etched away and replaced with what I assume is a serial number or datecode?

It was advertised as a Bluetooth 4.0 radio and it supposedly has the Qualcomm CSR8510A10 chip inside of it, but I seriously doubt it.

Chip markings which seem meaningless of EAG435 with 24 pins total (Those little copper rectangles on the edge) and 13 pins soldered in a Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package.

@JeffreyO Thanks a lot for going above and beyond with your teardown! I remember trying to find the actual Chinese ASIC vendor, which (unless one takes a microscope photo of the bare die) it's going to be hard, but there are mentions to companies like Barrot in the kernel, which may be a good start point for more shady stuff: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c#L2322

If someone tried to clone the CSR chips they haven't done it correctly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you. Also, for anyone wondering, there is a way to properly and nondestructively open up the USB dongle. I just gently pried it apart and wiggled it enough and was lucky not to break anything.
But, that's not the right way. The right way is that there's a clip in the USB part latching to the outside of the case. You press down on that and slide the dongle apart away from the metal. It should all come out in one piece.

To put it back together, you sandwich the plastic parts and the PCB back together and slide it into the metal part (Keep it mind that those 2 tiny divots in the metal are the clips. It only goes together one way.) while applying very light pressure to the clip. You should hear a click when everything is back together successfully.

Extract the linux-source archive corresponding to your kernel and do the following:

$ patch -p1 < csr-clean.patch
$ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)/net/bluetooth ccflags-y="$(echo "-include "$(pwd)/include/net/bluetooth/{bluetooth.h,hci.h})" modules
$ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)/drivers/bluetooth ccflags-y="$(echo "-include "$(pwd)/include/net/bluetooth/{bluetooth.h,hci.h})" modules
$ strip --strip-debug net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko
$ strip --strip-debug drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko

Then you can replace the old drivers in /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel with the new ones. Don't forget to backup the old files.

It worked for me, tanks.

I currently have kernel 5.15.0-78-generic

My archives copilled: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cn7CZZUWD4B8hi-y0RKCNZIo78Bw7wFV?usp=sharing

I backed up and replaced the files

btusb.ko in /usr/lib/modules/5.15.0-XX-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth bluetooth.ko in /usr/lib/modules/5.15.0-XX-generic/kernel/net/bluetooth/

I have no idea on how to apply those patches and I'm willing a lot do so as my usb dongle shows up with same name in lsusb. Is there any material or could you explain me in a simple manner so I can reproduce it myself for kernel 6.6.6-arch1-1?
