I've got an ASUS Tinker Board device. It is running Armbian (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS / 5.10.60).
$ uname -a
Linux tinkerboard 5.10.60-rockchip #21.08.1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 25 19:43:43 UTC 2021 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
The device is connected to Audio Receiver via HDMI cable.
In short, I'm trying to stream the audio from my phone to Audio Receiver via Tinker Board via Bluetooth and I cannot pair the phone with Tinkerboard.
I tried to open Bluetooth settings (Menu->Settings->Bluetooth Adapters). Nothing happens. Window appears and closes immediately.

TinkerOS
In case if I install TinkerOS (kernel v4.4), Bluetooth works as expected. I believe I can use it, but the fact that this distribution is 2 years old... I'd like to try configure Armbian first.
Following is the same output for TinkerOS
