I've got a custom BLE 4.1 device and I'm trying to connect it to Raspberry PI 3 B+ using hcitool, gatttool, bluetoothctl, ..., without success.

The device is an NRF BLE chip with the Nordic UART Service.

So far what I got is:

  1. The device shows up in a "hcitool lescan"
  2. bluez does all the connection attempts, seems to connect but disconnects immediately afterwards
  3. hci0 (raspberry pi) fails equally to two other dongles (hci1, hci2)
  4. Pairing fails as well
  5. Connecting from ESP32 - arduino works fine
  6. bluetoothd is already started with --experimental -d
  7. NRFConnect on an android phone works just fine

Output of hcitool:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hcitool -i hci0 lescan
LE Scan ...
FD:B8:73:ED:6B:CD 
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hcitool -i hci0 cc
FD:B8:73:ED:6B:CD Can't create connection: Input/output error

What can I do to debug this? Anybody who had the same problems?
