Bluetooth¶

On RDA8910 chipset, BT 4.2 dual mode is available. However Logicrom currently only support BLE mode of operation as GATT server for Bluetooth CLI operation. More features will be added in future release.

On MT2503/MT6261 chipset, BT3.0 with EDR can work in BT host and client mode. No BLE is available.

Currently only SPP profile is supported by SDK.

System create device file /dev/bthost0 for host mode of operation. This file can be used to perform standard IO operations (open, close, read, write etc.). SDK also provide api to enable console over bluetooth, If console is enabled then host operation file will not be available for application.

For client mode of operation device files are created under /dev/btclient/ after Bluetooth device search is performed. Application can initiate pairing and standard io operation can then be performed via system calls.

Example Usage¶

#include <hw/bluetooth.h>

/*
 * For 4G Modules
 *
 * Initialize BT in BLE mode, with CLI enable
 */
bt_device_init(BT_LE, "Custom Name", TRUE);

/*
 * For 2G Modules
 *
 * Initialize BT in classic mode with CLI enable
 */
bt_device_init(BT_CLASSIC, "Custom Name", TRUE);

Functions¶

int bt_device_init(int mode, const char *name, int use_btcli)¶

Initialize Bluetooth hardware

Parameters

mode – [in] Bluetooth controller mode see btmode_e
name – [in] Name of device shown to other bluetooth device while searching
use_btcli – [in] Bluetooth console select (1 to enable, 0 to disable). When enabled, /dev/bthost0 device file will not be available to the application.

Returns

For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_power(int on_off)¶

Turn on/off bluetooth hardware. Bluetooth is enabled by default when device is initialized.

Parameters: on_off – [in] TRUE (1) to turn on or FALSE (0) to turn off
Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_reset(void)¶

Reset bluetooth hardware. Equivalent to turn off and then turn on.

Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_getinfo(struct btinfo_t *info)¶

Get Bluetooth controller information

Parameters: info – [in,out] Pointer to structure to store information
Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_setname(const char *name)¶

Change display name of device

Parameters: name – [in] Device name
Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_scan(unsigned int timeout)¶

Perform a bluetooth scan. This is a blocking function.

Parameters: timeout – [in] Timeout value in seconds
Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_scancancel(void)¶

Cancel scan operation. calling this function will interrupt bt_device_scan()

Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_getcount(int type)¶

Get device list count

Parameters: type – [in] Device list selection, see devtype_e
Returns: On success, returns available device count in the list. On error, negative value is returned, see bterr_e

int bt_device_getdevinfo(int idx, int type, struct btdevinfo_t *out_devinfo)¶

Get bluetooth device information. This function can be called to get list of devices after a scan is performed or to get list of paired devices.

Parameters

idx – [in] 0 base index, referring to the list
type – [in] Device list selection, see devtype_e
out_devinfo – [out] Device information structure to fill

Returns

On success, returns 0 and out_devinfo is updated with device information. On failure negative value is returned see bterr_e

int bt_device_pair(const char *name, const char *passcode)¶

Pair a device.

Parameters

name – [in] Name of device to pair with
passcode – [in] Pair passcode/Pin. Can be NULL if auto-generated passcode is supported by device.

Returns

For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_unpair(const char *name)¶

Unpair a device

Parameters: name – [in] Name of device to unpair
Returns: For return value see bterr_e

int bt_device_unpairall(void)¶

Unpair all paired devices

Returns: For return value see bterr_e

void bt_print_devlist(int disp_type)¶

Helper function to display device list

Parameters: disp_type – [in] Display list type devtype_e

int bt_manager_init(void)¶

Install “BTMAN” command to manage Bluetooth controller from command line interface.

Command Format: BTMAN [OP] [ARG]

OP - Operation to perform ARG - Argument, depends on operation

Available operation:

Power - Power on/off BT. ARG = 0/1
Scan - Scan BT devices. ARG = Timeout (optional, default 10s)
List - List all BT devices (Paired and Searched).
Pair - Pair a BT device. ARG = [DEV NAME],[PASSKEY (optional)]
Unpair - Unpair a BT device. ARG = DEV NAME (All devices are unpaired if no argument given)

If no operation is specified, Command will print BT controller related information
