Hello.

Have you found a Bluetooth dongle that works with FreeBSD ?

If so, please could you share the details - the Foundation would like to buy some to assist with its development work.

A million thanks in advance.

I remember some cheap CSR based dongles being weird on FreeBSD honestly. Intel ones gave me less headache overall. Random no name USB adapters are basically gambling at this point 😅
 
See ng_ubt(4) but that may not be uptodate so look in /usr/src/sys/netgraph/bluetooth/drivers/ubt/*.c - grep for "List of supported bluetooth" and look at lines below this comment in various files.
 
What really get my attention is the opinions on the field of the real possessors of the BT keys which work. The manual pages mostly contains old and not USB devices.
 
Since I'm building a modular phone based on FreeBSD and the radxa board,I need a BT / USB mic to use when I will place phone calls using the LTE/4G module. Can you suggest one you know it works for sure ?
 
all cheap dongles are probably csr clones and may or may not work. and you can't trust vendors to use the same working clone chip for any time period
you better implement broadcom line discipline over uart as most arm boards use it.
there was ng_h4 for h4 line disk but was retired afaik
broadcom line disc looks similar do h4
