I am unable to establish an ble connection between my Raspberrypi4B and Laptop. Configuration is as below:

Laptop: Ubuntu-20.04.2 LTS, bluez version: 5.53 Raspberrypi4B: Ubuntu-21.04 bluez version: 5.56

Bluetoothctl logs @Raspberrypi4B:

btmon logs @Raspberrypi4B: as attached

I see in the btmon ouptut, always connection is terminated but no reason is present which specifies the cause for it.

Initially i was using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on my Raspberrypi4b which i later upgraded to 21.04 but still no luck. Couple of posts pointed to bug in bluez which was pretty old and i am assuming would have already fixed in the bluez 5.56 version.

Can someone help me in resolving this issue?

I managed to figure out the root cause of this issue. Thanks to help from colleagues and bluez folks. The problem is need to register a profile in bluetoothctl @ RPi and initiate a connect from Laptop did the trick.

Change @ RPi:

nagesh@nagesh-desktop:~$ sudo bluetoothctl

@Laptop run bluetoothctl, scan for devices, once BD address is found, pair using the BD address and then connect using the BD address and the connection would be successful.
