Description
Following the instruction on the Bluetooth doc are not enough to make Bluetooth work on Raspberry pi 4 (the Bluetooth device is not found).
This guide shows how to do it (ignore the Arch ARM specifics)
These are the relevant steps on Void:
- Remove the line
dtoverlay=bcmbt(if present) from /boot/config.txt and add the following line to the same file:
dtparam=krnbt=on - Make sure that
enable_uart=0is also in /boot/config.txt. - In /boot/cmdline.txt, remove all references to ttyAMA0

Research direction
Start with the Bluetooth documentation and compare its Raspberry Pi guidance with the linked guide and the Void-specific steps in this issue. Update the relevant documentation to cover the /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt changes, then verify that the instructions clearly explain how Bluetooth should be enabled on Raspberry Pi 4.
