Functions
-
static bool
bt_hci_evt_is_prio(u8_t evt)¶ Check if an HCI event is high priority or not.
Helper for the HCI driver to know which events are ok to be passed through the RX thread and which must be given to bt_recv_prio() from another context (e.g. ISR). If this function returns true it’s safe to pass the event through the RX thread, however if it returns false then this risks a deadlock.
- Return
true if the event can be processed in the RX thread, false if it cannot.
- Parameters
evt: HCI event code.
-
int
bt_recv(struct net_buf *buf)¶ Receive data from the controller/HCI driver.
This is the main function through which the HCI driver provides the host with data from the controller. The buffer needs to have its type set with the help of bt_buf_set_type() before calling this API. This API should not be used for so-called high priority HCI events, which should instead be delivered to the host stack through bt_recv_prio().
- Return
0 on success or negative error number on failure.
- Parameters
buf: Network buffer containing data from the controller.
-
int
bt_recv_prio(struct net_buf *buf)¶ Receive high priority data from the controller/HCI driver.
This is the same as bt_recv(), except that it should be used for so-called high priority HCI events. There’s a separate bt_hci_evt_is_prio() helper that can be used to identify which events are high priority.
As with bt_recv(), the buffer needs to have its type set with the help of bt_buf_set_type() before calling this API. The only exception is so called high priority HCI events which should be delivered to the host stack through bt_recv_prio() instead.
- Return
0 on success or negative error number on failure.
- Parameters
buf: Network buffer containing data from the controller.
-
int
bt_hci_driver_register(const struct bt_hci_driver *drv)¶ Register a new HCI driver to the Bluetooth stack.
This needs to be called before any application code runs. The bt_enable() API will fail if there is no driver registered.
- Return
0 on success or negative error number on failure.
- Parameters
drv: A bt_hci_driver struct representing the driver.
-
int
bt_hci_transport_setup(struct device *dev)¶ Setup the HCI transport, which usually means to reset the Bluetooth IC.
- Note
A weak version of this function is included in the H4 driver, so defining it is optional per board.
- Return
0 on success, negative error value on failure
- Parameters
dev: The device structure for the bus connecting to the IC
-
struct
bt_hci_driver¶ - #include <hci_driver.h>
Abstraction which represents the HCI transport to the controller.
This struct is used to represent the HCI transport to the Bluetooth controller.
