Hi,

I have a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 5, and I require access to the BLE stack in order to use some commands. My goal is to find a way to build and install packages like BlueZ to get access to hciconfig, hcitool, and bluetoothctl.

Although there are resources on creating development environment VMs for Kindles, I would appreciate receiving any tips or advice that you may have before investing days of time and effort in them to port on my SoC.

Additionally, I noticed that "devcap-get-feature -a bluetooth" returns a value of "1", indicating that Bluetooth functionality is available. However, I do not have access to Bluetooth in the menu. How can I enable the Bluetooth feature on the UI so that I can connect to Bluetooth audio devices?

Thanks
