The Trizeps VIII Mini is available with H&D Wireless SPB228 Wi-Fi Module.
It includes a powerful Marvell 88W997 chipset capable of 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, 2×2 Wave2 MU-MIMO, Bluetooth BT 5 Classic, and LE.

Please also view the documentation from H&D Wireless regarding implementing the driver into the OS.

The user-space programs for Bluetooth BT are in a package called bluez. In Debian and it's derivates you can install it by

...

First of all the kernel module must be loaded and the Bluetooth BT device must be attached to the appropriate UART:

...

This attaches UART3 to any Bluetooth BT interface found with a baudrate of 115200 and hardware flow control.

Important: In difference to the Trizeps VIII Mini, the Trizeps VIII Plus uses UART4 for BluetoothBT, so the hciattach must be changed to:

...

Code Block
$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetoothbl....th]#

You can scan for available devices

BT devices can also be managed by bluetoothd witch is configured by files in /etc/bluetoothbl....th. Nevertheless the kernel module must be loaded and the UART must be attached in some init-script that is executed before bluetoothd is started. Otherwise it will refuse to start.
