当前使用的Linux内核版本： 4.4.189
插上USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter后，dmesg显示如下log:
[ 240.348480] usb 3-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-platform [ 240.437834] usb 3-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8771 [ 240.438541] usb 3-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 240.439311] usb 3-1.2: Product: Bluetooth Radio [ 240.439730] usb 3-1.2: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 240.440124] usb 3-1.2: SerialNumber: 00E04C239987 [ 240.447374] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=0a hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=0a lmp_subver=8761 [ 240.448393] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8761a_fw.bin [ 240.451607] Bluetooth: hci0: rom_version status=0 version=1 [ 242.616194] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0xfc20 tx timeout [ 250.612377] Bluetooth: hci0: download fw command failed (-110)
由于蓝牙适配器的芯片组较新，为Realtek RTL8761B，4.4版本的内核并不支持这个型号的蓝牙适配器，所以驱动报错。
解决办法：
1. 把较高内核版本的驱动移植到4.4.189上来：
这里我们选择 kernel4.17.19 版本的驱动，可以从这个仓库获取驱动源码： https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
Realtek USB bluetooth适配器的驱动文件为：
- drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.h
- drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.c
用上述btrtl.c和btrtl.h替换掉 kernel4.4.189 版本里对应的文件。
注意：这里也可以移植更高内核版本的驱动，比如 kernel5.4 版本的驱动。但是有个缺点，选择的驱动版本的跨度越大需要修改的地方就越多。
2. 修改4.17.19内核版本Realtek bluetooth驱动源码：
修改 drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.c 和 drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.h
这里我做了一个修改后的patch：support_RTL8761B_chipset_from_kernel4.4_to_kernel4.17.patch， patch内容如下：

内核编译选项：
重新编译内核和更新内核，内核重新启动后，插入RTL8761B chipset蓝牙适配器，dmesg打印log如下：

上述使用的固件版本rtl8761b_config.bin和rtl8761b_fw.bin可以用此仓库获得： git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git ，或者从ubuntu20.04(kernel版本>= 5.4)的/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/目录下拷贝来直接用。
如果bluetoothd程序已经启动了的话，执行 hciconfig 结果如下：
# hciconfig hci0: Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: E8:EA:6A:8C:20:ED ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 255:12 UP RUNNING RX bytes:12651 acl:0 sco:0 events:414 errors:0 TX bytes:14146 acl:0 sco:0 commands:101 errors:0
执行 bluetoothctl scan on 进行扫描，结果如下：

从上面的扫描结果来看，蓝牙适配器已经能正常工作了。
至此，从kernel4.4到kernel.4.17版本的内核，都可以使用上述修改过的驱动来支持RTL8761B芯片组的蓝牙适配器。
