I’m a happy owner of a Hyperpixel.  
It works well with my raspverry but when I tried to pair a BT keyboard, I discovered that nothing seems to work.  
The command hciconfig has empty content.

```
 $ hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device

 $ systemctl status hciuart.service
● hciuart.service - Configure Bluetooth Modems connected by UART
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hciuart.service; enabled)

  Process: 432 ExecStart=/usr/bin/btuart (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

```

I don’t know where to search…

Do you have anything like `dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt` or `dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt` in your `/boot/config.txt` file?

What if you fire up `bluetoothctl`;

```auto
sudo bluetoothctl
agent on
default-agent
devices

```

if anyone has an idea, I can try whatever needed. It looks so great to have Hiperpixel and this keyboard.

This Rii keyboard contains a bluetooth dongle and it works.  
The only thing that is not working is the Pi3 embedded bluetooth
