Marcel,

Got it. I tried "-a 0" and it returned Invalid Parameters. But anyway,
"1" is the one I needed.

> Mixing btmgmt and hciconfig is not a good idea. hciconfig is for all style APIs and btmgmt is for new mgmt interfaces. For example bluetoothd only uses the mgmt interface. So my advice is to just run bluetoothd and then use the D-Bus command to make it discoverable. That will always work correctly and still is as you have seen by running bluetoothctl.

Great advice. Thank you for sharing.
