Bluetooth APIs

APIs for classic Bluetooth (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth low-energy (LE).

Note

Using Bluetooth requires the Coral Wireless Add-on board (or similar add-on).

You need to include only the libs/nxp/rt1176-sdk/edgefast_bluetooth/edgefast_bluetooth.h header. This header defines just the InitEdgefastBluetooth() function but also includes all the other Bluetooth APIs shown here.

Functions

void InitEdgefastBluetooth(bt_ready_cb_t cb)

Initializes Bluetooth for the Dev Board Micro.

Requires the Coral Wireless Add-on (or similar add-on board). This is a wrapper for bt_enable() and performs other board-specific setup. Note: This function is non-blocking and bluetooth could be uninitialized after return. Please check BluetoothReady() to make sure it is in fact initialized before using other functions.

Parameters

cb – Callback to notify when Bluetooth is enabled or fails to enable.

bool BluetoothReady()

Check if bluetooth is ready.

Returns

true if bluetooth is ready, false if it is not.

bool BluetoothAdvertise()

Start bluetooth advertising.

Returns

true id advertised successfully, false if advertise failed.

std::optional<std::vector<std::string>> BluetoothScan(int max_results, unsigned int scan_period_ms)

Performs bluetooth scan.

Parameters
  • max_results – Number of scan results.

  • scan_period_ms – Time in ms to scan for devices.

Returns

An array of bluetooth ids.

Functions

int bt_enable(bt_ready_cb_t cb)

Enable Bluetooth.

Enable Bluetooth. Must be the called before any calls that require communication with the local Bluetooth hardware.

Parameters

cb – Callback to notify completion or NULL to perform the enabling synchronously.

Returns

Zero on success or (negative) error code otherwise.

int bt_set_name(const char *name)

Set Bluetooth Device Name.

Set Bluetooth GAP Device Name.

When advertising with device name in the advertising data the name should be updated by calling bt_le_adv_update_data or bt_le_ext_adv_set_data.

Parameters

name – New name

Returns

Zero on success or (negative) error code otherwise.

const char *bt_get_name(void)

Get Bluetooth Device Name.

Get Bluetooth GAP Device Name.

Returns

Bluetooth Device Name

__deprecated int bt_set_id_addr (const bt_addr_le_t *addr)

Set the local Identity Address.

Allows setting the local Identity Address from the application. This API must be called before calling bt_enable(). Calling it at any other time will cause it to fail. In most cases the application doesn’t need to use this API, however there are a few valid cases where it can be useful (such as for testing).

At the moment, the given address must be a static random address. In the future support for public addresses may be added.

Deprecated:

in 2.5 release, replace with bt_id_create before bt_enable.

Returns

Zero on success or (negative) error code otherwise.

void bt_id_get(bt_addr_le_t *addrs, size_t *count)

Get the currently configured identities.

Returns an array of the currently configured identity addresses. To make sure all available identities can be retrieved, the number of elements in the addrs array should be CONFIG_BT_ID_MAX. The identity identifier that some APIs expect (such as advertising parameters) is simply the index of the identity in the addrs array.

If addrs is passed as NULL, then returned count contains the count of all available identities that can be retrieved with a subsequent call to this function with non-NULL addrs parameter.

Parameters
  • addrs – Array where to store the configured identities.

  • count – Should be initialized to the array size. Once the function returns it will contain the number of returned identities.

Note

Deleted identities may show up as BT_LE_ADDR_ANY in the returned array.

int bt_id_create(bt_addr_le_t *addr, uint8_t *irk)

Create a new identity.

Create a new identity using the given address and IRK. This function can be called before calling bt_enable(), in which case it can be used to override the controller’s public address (in case it has one). However, the new identity will only be stored persistently in flash when this API is used after bt_enable(). The reason is that the persistent settings are loaded after bt_enable() and would therefore cause potential conflicts with the stack blindly overwriting what’s stored in flash. The identity will also not be written to flash in case a pre-defined address is provided, since in such a situation the app clearly has some place it got the address from and will be able to repeat the procedure on every power cycle, i.e. it would be redundant to also store the information in flash.

Generating random static address or random IRK is not supported when calling this function before bt_enable().

If the application wants to have the stack randomly generate identities and store them in flash for later recovery, the way to do it would be to first initialize the stack (using bt_enable), then call settings_load(), and after that check with bt_id_get() how many identities were recovered. If an insufficient amount of identities were recovered the app may then call bt_id_create() to create new ones.

Parameters
  • addr – Address to use for the new identity. If NULL or initialized to BT_ADDR_LE_ANY the stack will generate a new random static address for the identity and copy it to the given parameter upon return from this function (in case the parameter was non-NULL).

  • irk – Identity Resolving Key (16 bytes) to be used with this identity. If set to all zeroes or NULL, the stack will generate a random IRK for the identity and copy it back to the parameter upon return from this function (in case the parameter was non-NULL). If privacy @option{CONFIG_BT_PRIVACY} is not enabled this parameter must be NULL.

Returns

Identity identifier (>= 0) in case of success, or a negative error code on failure.

int bt_id_reset(uint8_t id, bt_addr_le_t *addr, uint8_t *irk)

Reset/reclaim an identity for reuse.

The semantics of the addr and irk parameters of this function are the same as with bt_id_create(). The difference is the first id parameter that needs to be an existing identity (if it doesn’t exist this function will return an error). When given an existing identity this function will disconnect any connections created using it, remove any pairing keys or other data associated with it, and then create a new identity in the same slot, based on the addr and irk parameters.

Parameters
  • id – Existing identity identifier.

  • addr – Address to use for the new identity. If NULL or initialized to BT_ADDR_LE_ANY the stack will generate a new static random address for the identity and copy it to the given parameter upon return from this function (in case the parameter was non-NULL).

  • irk – Identity Resolving Key (16 bytes) to be used with this identity. If set to all zeroes or NULL, the stack will generate a random IRK for the identity and copy it back to the parameter upon return from this function (in case the parameter was non-NULL). If privacy @option{CONFIG_BT_PRIVACY} is not enabled this parameter must be NULL.

Returns

Identity identifier (>= 0) in case of success, or a negative error code on failure.

Note

the default identity (BT_ID_DEFAULT) cannot be reset, i.e. this API will return an error if asked to do that.

int bt_id_delete(uint8_t id)

Delete an identity.

When given a valid identity this function will disconnect any connections created using it, remove any pairing keys or other data associated with it, and then flag is as deleted, so that it can not be used for any operations. To take back into use the slot the identity was occupying the bt_id_reset() API needs to be used.

Parameters

id – Existing identity identifier.

Returns

0 in case of success, or a negative error code on failure.

Note

the default identity (BT_ID_DEFAULT) cannot be deleted, i.e. this API will return an error if asked to do that.

int bt_le_adv_start(const struct bt_le_adv_param *param, const struct bt_data *ad, size_t ad_len, const struct bt_data *sd, size_t sd_len)

Start advertising.

Set advertisement data, scan response data, advertisement parameters and start advertising.

When the advertisement parameter peer address has been set the advertising will be directed to the peer. In this case advertisement data and scan response data parameters are ignored. If the mode is high duty cycle the timeout will be BT_GAP_ADV_HIGH_DUTY_CYCLE_MAX_TIMEOUT.

Parameters
  • param – Advertising parameters.

  • ad – Data to be used in advertisement packets.

  • ad_len – Number of elements in ad

  • sd – Data to be used in scan response packets.

  • sd_len – Number of elements in sd

Returns

Zero on success or (negative) error code otherwise.

Returns

-ENOMEM No free connection objects available for connectable advertiser.

Returns

-ECONNREFUSED When connectable advertising is requested and there is already maximum number of connections established in the controller. This error code is only guaranteed when using Zephyr controller, for other controllers code returned in this case may be -EIO.

int bt_le_adv_update_data(const struct bt_data *ad, size_t ad_len, const struct bt_data *sd, size_t sd_len)

Update advertising.

Update advertisement and scan response data.

Parameters

  • cb[in] Callback struct to notify about advertiser activity. Can be NULL. Must point to valid memory during the lifetime of the advertising set.

  • adv[out] Valid advertising set object on success.

Returns

int bt_le_ext_adv_start(struct bt_le_ext_adv *adv, struct bt_le_ext_adv_start_param *param)

Start advertising with the given advertising set.

If the advertiser is limited by either the timeout or number of advertising events the application will be notified by the advertiser sent callback once the limit is reached. If the advertiser is limited by both the timeout and the number of advertising events then the limit that is reached first will stop the advertiser.

Parameters
