Disabling bluetooth on raspberry pi 3

How can i disable bluetooth on raspberry pi

[DougieLawson]

Try blacklisting the following modules

Code: Select all

bnep                   10340  2
hci_uart               17943  1
btbcm                   5929  1 hci_uart
bluetooth             326105  25 bnep,btbcm,hci_uart,rfcomm

put this line in config.txt:

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt-overlay

(I have to do that to make the VGA666 adapter work)

Would that disable using a Bluetooth dongle also?

If you use the dtoverlay line in config.sys as per mikerr a BT dongle still works fine. That is how I am running.

Cool. Thanks.
