"FPC USART for BT addon support absent" but HW installed

hi. got my rdv4 and attached the bt module. is there anything i have to flash/install (whatever) first before it is recognised by software? beacuse it says : proxmark rdv4 extras blabla FPC USART for BT addon support absent.
i flashed the latest fw and bootloader. also checked the connection between rdv4 and bt module (blue led blinking).

Reading the manual first usually helps.

I suggest you edit your first post and add the prefix [solved] to your title.

Not sure if you frequent the Mac OS part of the forum so posting this here as well iceman.

Read the manual and it says the following should get the bluetooth module working but I can't get it to run

brew install --with-blueshark proxmark3
Error: rfidresearchgroup/proxmark3/proxmark3 is a head-only formula
Install with `brew install --HEAD rfidresearchgroup/proxmark3/proxmark3`

I really don't know much of OSX and homebrew.

Re: "FPC USART for BT addon support absent" but HW installed

I was having trouble with the homebrew installation. I used --with-blueshark, but when I flashed the firmware, I also saw

[ PROXMARK RDV4 Extras ]         
  FPC USART for BT add-on support: absent

It worked when I compiled the firmware from source instead
