Bluetooth on Jetson Nano

Hi, I am attempting to connect my Jetson Nano to a Bluetooth speaker via a Bluetooth dongle. I found one, but I am not sure if it will work with my jetson.

Here is the link: Amazon.com: TP-Link UB500 Adaptador Nano USB2.0 Bluetooth 5.0 : Electronics

I am new to working with the jetson so can someone help me with this?

Jetson Nano uses a 6 year old Linux kernel, and you won’t get any newer version. You need to get similar old bluetooth stick with BLE 4.2 or so. BLE 5.0 is dangerous new. Might work, might not.

Oft course there is always a way to backport a newer driver to an already obsolete revision, but only very experienced developers can do this.

Sorry to keep bothering you, but I found another link that says it is compatible with Linux, although I want to be sure before ordering it. Here is the link: Amazon.com: Kinivo USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC BTD400 (Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Receiver, Low Energy) - Compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8, Raspberry Pi, Linux, Laptop & Headphones : Electronics

Should work.
