      the file is available at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel

      No idea yet where to drop it ... /lib/firmware/intel ? or /etc/firmware/intel ? No recalbox at hand for now.

      But i think we can make it available by default in a later release

        @substring Oh wow thanks ! I answered before I saw your second answer, i'm gonna check if I can add it manually (I have no clue about that yet), and else wait for an update, thanks A LOT for considering it and again for your help !

          @maldorhan Once I get back home i'll have a quick look where the file is suppoed to be. I don't know if you're familiar with linux, but it may not be a funny moment for you to drop the file where it is expected. I'll give you the step-by-step if necessary

            I have honestly no idea where to put it yet even if I know a bit of Linux but I'll make sure to look hard for it and if needed follow your (very much appreciated) advices when you get home

                I get that after adding the files

                Bluetooth: hci0: Found device firmware: intel/ibt-12-16.sfi
                [ 1.858988] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to send firmware signature (-38)

                Edit : this the the new message I get in dmesg, no idea how to bypass? the signature check or add one

                  @maldorhan I'm still looking for, but anyway, keep checking with hciconfig because the firmware upload happens wuite early in the boot process, might need bluez to be started too

                    @Substring hciconfig still the same for now, dmesg fails because of this "fail to send firmware signature" error now so it finds the firmware but doesnt load it up for some reason, I have no idea what's this signature sending error is about, still googling it with no results yet, I'll try to reboot and wait a bit more

                        @maldorhan try running modprobe -r btusb ; modprobe btusb and report back. If the first command fails, try rmmod btusb ; modprobe btusb

                            @substring said in Recalbox 4.1 x64 stable on PC : is there a way to see if the onboard bluetooth is supported ?:

                            modprobe -r btusb

                            I can't seem to be able to run the modprobe command (command not found) (that's where my small Linux knowledge stops I guess)

                                    @maldorhan This is all really weird
                                    modprobe and rmmod do exist otherwise we can't dynamically load some kernel modules

                                      @substring Well maybe it worked through SSH ? I mean, is it supposed to answer something if it worked ? Waiting for your help about that, I've decided to update the BIOS from the NUC, gotta try something right ^^

                                        @substring Same thing with the new NUC Bios, dmesg reports that it can find the firmware, but else signature error else reading intel version information failed (errors -38 and -110), I've added both files to the drivers folder, ibt-12-16.sfi and .ddc

                                          @maldorhan linux command hardly ever report anything if they worked. Printing nothing is the normal behaviour.

                                          I thought that maybe you need the whole intel folder + make sure it is in fact "synced" with the kernel version

                                            @substring I just put the whole Intel folder in, what do you mean by "make sure it is in fact "synced" with the kernel version" ? Thanks
