Auto pair bluetooth device(s) about raspberrypi-ua-netinst HOT 7 CLOSED

BT pairing needs communication in both directions. So the first time you connect, often it won't be done by modifying a config file on one side only.
Scripting in post-install would be possible because I activate the BT on Pi3 during installation process.

I'm not able to list the internal bluetooth device for a RPi3, e.g.:

$ hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device

Installed following packages after some searching:

bluez,bluetooth,raspberrypi-sys-mods,pi-bluetooth,libbluetooth3,libbluetooth-dev,libdbus-c++-dev,libdbus-1-dev

Also added user to bluetooth group as suggested here:

sudo usermod -G bluetooth -a pi

But still not working. Any idea?

I'm working on it at the moment and got it working. Please be patient until the new release in about 12 hours.

To get BT and UART working on model 3B at the same time was a bit tricky.
It's fixed and tested with b2986a4 b40f6ff.

I changed config.txt and udev rules to get it fully compatible with all packages and now exactly behaves like you would use a common raspbian image.
(UART is on /dev/serial0; BT on /dev/serial1 as expected)

Short hint: All packages you need are installed with apt-get install pi-bluetooth. No further changes needed to get it work.

Cool, I'll test it now. I saw you removed the GPIO udev rule, I suppose it's still working without that? Update: yes it does.

Awesome it works now:

$ hcitool dev
Devices:

For your information:
The GPIO rule I added to get #8 working, was removed because the package raspberrypi-sys-mods is installed by default now. It delivers another rule which does the same and gets updates if available.
