I confirm the issue with the Broadcom 20702A0 bluetooth 4 dongle, exactly as described. Also tested with earlier kernels on Debian and Ubuntu systems. No possibility of reliable usage over bluetooth.
I would greatly appreciate this bug being given attention. We have a University lab full of Linux machines waiting to start a sensors experiment involving reading data over bluetooth from a BBC micro:bit. While this bug persists, we can't run that experiment on Linux, which is about a bad a message as you can send to an EE student. Politics and trolls aside, "You have to use MS Windows to deal with embedded systems" is the opposite of the truth; I'm sure that's not controversial. If I can run any further tests, please advise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611532 Title: bluetooth USB dongle CSR8510 causes system freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1611532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
