Linux Driver Install

Driver: mpow_MPBH456AB_driver+for+Linux [Unix/Linux Only]

The document describes how to support Realtek Bluetooth UART and USB driver in Linux system.

REQUIREMENT

The supported kernel version is 2.6.32 – 5.3.

QUICKLY INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY

$ sudo make install INTERFACE=all
or
$ sudo make install INTERFACE=usb
or
$ sudo make install INTERFACE=uart

FOR UART I/F

-The default serial protocol of Realtek Bluetooth chip is Three-wire (H5) protocol.

-The default initial baud rate is 115200.

-Installation

To support Three-wire (H5) protocol, you need to install Realtek hci_uart driver
and rtk_hciattach tool.

1. Make sure your UART setting is correct.
host tx – controller rx
host rx – controller tx
host rts – controller cts
host cts – ground
( host cts – controller rts ) // for RTL8822C and RTL8761B
NC – controller rts

2. Install Bluetooth kernel driver and rtk_hciattach tool
$ cd uart
$ sudo make install

3. Copy the right FW file and config file to the correct path.
$ sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/rtlbt/
$ sudo cp rtkbt-firmware/lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtl8xxxx_fw /lib/firmware/rtlbt/
$ sudo cp rtkbt-firmware/lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtl8xxxx_config /lib/firmware/rtlbt/

NOTE: PLEASE REFER THE FORWARD SECTION OF FILENAME LIST TO CORRESPONDE THE FW FILENAME AND THE CONFIG FILENAME WITH THE CHIP.

3. Initialize Realtek Bluetooth chip by rtk_hciattach
$ sudo rtk_hciattach -n -s 115200 ttyUSB0 rtk_h5

Tips: ttyUSB0 is serial port name in your system, you should change it
according to hardware such as ttyS0.

-Uninstallation
$ sudo make uninstall

– If you want to change the parameter such as baud rate and pcm settings, you
should modify rtl8xxx_config file.

FOR USB I/F

-Installation

1. Build and install USB driver, change to the driver direcotory
$ cd usb
$ sudo make install

2. Copy the right FW file and config file to the correct path.
$ sudo cp rtkbt-firmware/lib/firmware/rtl8xxxxx_fw /lib/firmware/
$ sudo cp rtkbt-firmware/lib/firmware/rtl8xxxxx_config /lib/firmware/

NOTE: PLEASE REFER THE FORWARD SECTION OF FILENAME LIST TO CORRESPONDE THE FW FILENAME AND THE CONFIG FILENAME WITH THE CHIP.

3. Insert Realtek Bluetooth dongle
Check LMP subversion by the following command
$ hciconfig -a

Now RTK chip can be recognized by the system and bluetooth function can be used.

-Uninstallation
$ sudo make uninstall
