Bluetooth addon BCM 43xx does not work with 0.63

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

After upgrading to version 0.63 (or maybe even one of the earlier versions >0.60) the bluetooth addon does not work anymore on my Raspberry Pi 3.

The state of the addon is stopped and the log reads as follows

starting version 3.2.4
bcm43xx_init
Initialization timed out.

Restarting the addon or even Home Assistant does not change the behaviour, neither did uninstalling and reinstalling the addon. I used the addon for my MiFlora sensors.

Any ideas how to fix that?

I’ve got .63 and see this in my BT log:

starting version 3.2.4
bcm43xx_init
Flash firmware /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43430A1.hcd
Set BDADDR UART: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Set Controller UART speed to 921600 bit/s
Device setup complete

That being said, I cannot detect my Pi from other BT devices, like my phone. I’ve been trying to get my plant sensor working for some time and have always suspected that the Pi was having a problem.

I could fix the problem by shutting down and restarting the whole Raspberry Pi, not just Hass.io :smiley:
