I’m encountering an issue while trying to enable Bluetooth on a Verdin AM62 board running the following environment:
root@verdin-am62-15133450:~# uname -a
Linux verdin-am62-15133450 6.1.83-6.8.0-devel+git.3122b7a08184 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 31 08:58:43 UTC 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Here’s what happens when I try to enable Bluetooth via bluetoothctl:
root@verdin-am62-15133450:~# bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller 6C:1D:EB:9D:3B:FC Pairable: yes
[bluetooth]# power on
Failed to set power on: org.bluez.Error.Failed
The bluetoothctl command registers the agent, but when I try to turn on the Bluetooth power, I get the error org.bluez.Error.Failed.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows what could be causing this failure? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated!

The issue you’re encountering with enabling Bluetooth on the Verdin AM62 board could be due to several factors. Here are a few steps and suggestions to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
Check Bluetooth Service Status:
Ensure that the Bluetooth service is running correctly. You can check the status with the following command:
systemctl status bluetooth
If the service is not running, you can start it with:
systemctl start bluetooth
Verify Bluetooth Hardware:
Make sure that the Bluetooth hardware is correctly recognized by the system. You can use the hciconfig command to check the status of Bluetooth devices:
hciconfig -a
This should list the Bluetooth devices and their status.
Check Kernel Modules:
Ensure that the necessary kernel modules for Bluetooth are loaded. You can list the loaded modules with:
lsmod | grep bluetooth
If the required modules are not loaded, you may need to load them manually. Common modules include btusb, btbcm, and bluetooth.
Firmware Files:
Some Bluetooth adapters require firmware files to function correctly. Ensure that the necessary firmware files are present in /lib/firmware.
Logs and Debugging:
Check the system logs for any relevant error messages that might provide more insight into the issue. You can use dmesg or check the journal logs:
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
journalctl -xe | grep bluetooth
BlueZ Configuration:
Ensure that the BlueZ (the official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack) configuration is correct. Sometimes, configuration issues can cause the org.bluez.Error.Failed error.
Permissions:
Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to control Bluetooth. You might need to add the user to the bluetooth group:
usermod -aG bluetooth <username>
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be helpful to provide more detailed logs or error messages. Additionally, checking the Toradex community forums or contacting Toradex support might provide more specific guidance tailored to the Verdin AM62 module.
