[bluetooth-dev] Inbuffers and generic mode

[Alain Paschoud <alain.paschoud@xxxxxxx.ch>]

Hi all,

I'm using a hardware that is not in the config (TI), so I use the stack in generic mode, communicating with UART.

I'm able to do an inquiry and a connection between two devices. But I've a problem when sending data from the remote device to my hardware.
On the remote device, I use bt_send -d /dev/ttsBT0 -r 50 -s 50.

Note that on local device, I don't use inbuffers, because I got errors when activating inbuffers.

On the local device, I recieve bytes by pairs, I've next logs (... means a log of debug of the same type) :

*****

BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x02 0x01 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x10 0x00 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x00 0x02 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x01 0x10 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x00 0x00 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x41 0x42 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x43 0x44 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x45 0x46 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x47 0x48 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x58 0x59 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0xbf 0x02 
BT DATA    |X|-->  50 [0]
BT DATA bt_receive_top: (50) line 0 not active yet... silent discard!

*******

---> Then, this complete sequence begin again.

Question : Why do I always recieve byte by pair ? why don't I recieve more bytes at the same time ?

But from time to time, something goes wrong. I've next logs :

*****

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x4d 0x4e 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x4f 0x50

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x55 0x56

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x59 0xbf

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x02 0x01 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

hci_receive_data:  (2):
0x10 0x00 
BT DATA -->|X|      2

*****

---> Then, the data are recieved correctly again...

And at the end, I have recieved 6 times the message "BT DATA bt_receive_top: (50) line 0 not active yet... silent discard!". I think I should recieve this message 50 times... where are the other bytes ? (of course, the remote device told me that it sent every bytes).


The result of this problem is that some bytes are logs (because of the discarding), and when I try  to use ppp on the serial line, the ppp negociation never works (of course because some bytes are lost).


Please is someone can give me some gidelines how to track the problem, what I could do, please tell me !

Best regards.
