Is possible to implement integrated bluetooth support for Raspberry Pi 3 ?
In berryboot-20160313-pi2-pi3 it's missing. (Device is not available).

Thanks.

No plans for it in Berryboot menu itself atm.
Should work in the Linux distributions though. (might need to do sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade in Raspbian)

Thanks. But it did not help. After update / upgrade in Raspbian still reports "Device is not available: No such device" when I typed the command "hcitool scan".

Seems one needs to install the pi-bluetooth package first.

Hello again...

In a RetroPie it doesn't work to
I updated sudo "apt-get update" and upgraded "sudo apt-get upgrade" (I have raspbian Jessie)
And then -
pi@retropie ~ $ sudo apt-get install pi-bluetooth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package pi-bluetooth

I tried next install -
pi@retropie ~ $ sudo apt-get install bluetooth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
bluetooth is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libts-0.0-0 libts-dev tsconf
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After reboot I tried -
pi@retropie ~ $ hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device

I updated sudo "apt-get update" and upgraded "sudo apt-get upgrade" (I have raspbian Jessie)

Are you sure you have Jessie?
Think you may have an older version based on Wheezy.

Try again with Retropie 3.6

If you do sudo apt-get update it also prints that it is fetching the repository files for jessie?
(to make sure your sources.list isn't screwed up)

Strange, because it does work fine here...

You are combining wheezy with jessie packages?

I don't understand it so much. But I tried New instalation of Raspbian from berryboot and installed Retropie via script and bluetooth. It works fine now. So I solved it.
Thank you very much for your help :-)

SOLVED:

I realize this thread is over a year old, but...

I had this same problem. I had a highly tweaked raspbian 'wheezy' image that I upgraded to 'jessie' so that I could use in on my new Pi 3. I didn't want to start over with a fresh jessie install. However, I couldn't get the bluetooth to work for anything. It was this post that led me to the answer...

It appears that the upgrade process only changes some of the package sources to 'jessie'. The tell tale sign is if you're running 'jessie' and when attempting to install the pi-bluetooth package, you get the following error:

Unable to locate package pi-bluetooth

The solution was to make sure that BOTH of the following lists were calling for 'jessie' packages:

/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list

In my case, only the sources.list had been updated but my raspi.list was still using 'wheezy'.

I simply changed the word 'wheezy' to 'jessie' and then:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

After about 20 minutes, the upgrade will finish.

Reboot and Voilá
