Murata LBEH1Z9UWC WL1273L BT+BLE Linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1271

Hi all,

I'm working on BT+BLE functionality on my custom board with Linux running on it. The kernel version is 3.0.35 (compiling the source using LTIB). I've take the uim utility from the http://gitorious.org/uim/uim, and compiled it using our toolchain. The firmware file I'm using is TIInit_7.2.31.bts. The UART is working fine, I've verified the Tx and CTS toggling with echo command using CRO.

But still I'm getting issues with the firmware. The logs are:

Bluetooth: HCI UART driver ver 2.2

I've the ti-st driver files st_core, st_kim, st_ll and st_drv. Also I have the btwilink driver and the hci driver files.

The configs are as follows:

# CONFIG_BT_ATH3K is not set
CONFIG_BT_WILINK=y
CONFIG_RFKILL=y

1. Please suggest me for the error logs. Also let me know the files and their version that i'm using will be compatible or not.

2. For BT and BLE, the BlueZ stack is needed. With the ltib i'm using, I have the bluez-hcidump, bluez-libs and bluez-utils packages

bluez-hcidump-1.29.tar.gz                                               
bluez-libs-2.25-limits_h.patch                                          
bluez-libs-2.25.tar.gz                                              
bluez-utils-2.25-gcc-4.3.patch                                                
bluez-utils-2.25.tar.gz                                             

Will these be enough for BLE working (with this I don't get the bluetoothd)? Or I need to cross-compile the latest blueZ package and integrate?

Please help me to proceed further.

Thanks

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Thanks for the reply. Now the issue is with the firmware file to be downloaded. I have the TIInit_7.2.31.bts file in my /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity directory as specified on http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Bluetooth_BTS_files_overview for Murata WL1273L chip. But the logs I'm getting are as follows:

  • Hi,

    Can you please move the TIInit_7.2.31.bts file in /lib/firmware/ folder and try.

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Thanks for the response. As per your inputs I put both the firmware files in the /lib/firmware directory and got the hci0 up. But its picking up the TIInit_7.6.15.bts file instead of TIInit_7.2.31.bts. Here are the logs

    1) Here I have configured the baudrate as 3000000 and the refrence clock as 38.4MHz. Can this be the reason for firmware file? Because these configurations are given for the WL1271L as per http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Bluetooth_BTS_files_overview

    2) What's the difference among the files?

    3) From st_kim.c, what I suspect is that it writes some command on the node and then read back the response. From the response it does some calculation for reading the version info. So that response is predefined for the WL1271L and WL1273L or it still depends on the configuration of baud rate, flow control and refrence clock?

    4) The links for blueZ that u have provided are machine dependent, based on the TI processor's. But I have i.Mx6 sololite as my target. Can you help me out for that.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    The the Initscript(service pack) depends on the version of the chip you are using.

    First we do a read local version information from the chip and then based on this information, the calucation I done and find what is the Service pack that is need to be used.

    I have just provide you a reference, using which you can do it for any of the processor you are using. 

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Thanks for the cooperation.

    I'm following the link for the bluez cross-compilation. Manually doing all the steps for my target board. I have successfully cross-compiled the following packages:

    expat, dbus, libiconv, zlib and gettext

    Now I'm running into errors for compiling glib. I have created the arm-linux.cache file as given, and then ran the command to configure as

    a) sudo ./configure --host=arm-linux --cache-file=arm-linux.cache --with-libiconv=gnu CC=<path to my toolchain>
              This gave the error for zlib headers and libs not found

    b) Then I added the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS containing the path to the zlib headers and library
              This gave error for "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables glib cross compile"

    So, then we continued with the part (a) commenting out the following lines in the configure script
    #if test "x$found_zlib" = "xno" ; then
      # as_fn_error "*** Working zlib library and headers not found ***" "$LINENO" 5
    #fi
    #ZLIB_LIBS='-lz'

    With this we got the configure successfull, but not the 'make'

    c) When we did 'make' then we got the errors

    bluez-ti/glib-2.24.1/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -lresolv

    ./.libs/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `inflate'

     This also seems to be linked to zlib. Please suggest.
    d) Also please let me know if I need to do some modification in my configs and the package versions to get BLE working. If 'yes' then please share.
    Thanks
  • Hi,

    Can you try it on Ubuntu 12.04?

  • Hi Sundeep,

    I'm trying on the Ubuntu 12.04 itself. Though I went through the errors for the C compiler but still with the specified option for --with-libiconv=gnu its not able to pickup the headers and the libraries, with this the error comes up as

     No iconv() implementation found in C library or libiconv

    and if i don't specify the option for libiconv, then it configures well but ultimately gives the error for the undefined refrence as i specified in the previous post.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    That is strange you should not face the Glib error on Ubuntu 12.04.

    what is the SDK you are using?

    you can compare the "wl18xx_build_ble.sh" and "wl18xx_build_bt.sh" to see what is required for BLE(like GATT)

  • Hi Sundeep,

    1) I have the SDK from Freescale, but here I'm compiling all the packages manually, getting the source from the download path specified in the build script and then following the steps for configure and make.

    After that I do the 'make install' to my rootfs and specify the same in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, for usr/local/include and usr/local/lib respectively.

    2) As per the changes in the build scripts of BT and BLE, the sorce for the bluez is diferent. So, do we also need to change the source to get the BLE working? And are the patches available fro WL1273L?

  • Hi,

    I have tried with both Linaro and Arago cross-compilers and I did not face any issue on Ubuntu 12.04

    If you have compared the scripts you would have understood. how they are enabling the Gatt and what are the patchs required for Gatt that needs to be applied.

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Still I'm not clear at this point that now we have the bluez-4.98, but not all the required binaries for pairing the device.

    Is that supported by WL1273L with BLE?

    As earlier you have pointed to the script for BLE separately, but that is for WL18xx, can we use that bluez source and apply patches to get BLE working on WL1273L too?

    Now we are trying to connect the devices through hcitool cc command, but not able to do that, though scanning is working. Enabling the logs we got that that it creates up the connection but instantly disconnect it.

    What are we missing? Can you point me out?

    Thanks

    Sumit

  • Hi,

    You can get the latest TIInit_7.6.15.bts from https://github.com/TI-ECS/bt-firmware

    as chip WL1273L supports BLE. and the init script (Service pack) mentioned above includes BLE initialization as well.

    Mind that this just from the chip side, you need to make sure your stack can handle it. 

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Thanks for the support so far. Now I'm able to scan and pair the BT devices. But file transfer is still an issue. I have the required binaries for that as i have cross-compiled the obexd and bt-obex package. But now when I try to run the obexd with "obexd -n -d -r /mnt/ -o -f -a" command, the error shown is

    obexd[2400]: OBEX daemon 0.34
    obexd[2400]: src/main.c:main() Entering main loop
    obexd[2400]: src/manager.c:manager_init()
    /usr/local/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch requested, but X11 support not compiled in.
    Cannot continue.

    obexd[2400]: manager_init failed

    For this I tried to cross-compile the X11 package and the the dbus again with the option "--with-x=yes" while configure. But on the last output lines of configure it shows "Build X11 binaries     no"

    How can it be resolved?

    And what's the correct sequence of running other binaries( like dbus-launch, blluetoothd etc.) to get it working?

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    As it looks like more related to BlueZ, can you please check it on BlueZ forum.

    Please see the below link which I found  for testing, may be this might help

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM37x_Wireless_Connectivity_NLCP_Bluetooth_Terminal_linux

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Now I'm able to do the file sharing with Android mobile and the Linux PC as well. Thanks for your support.

    However I would more likely to know more about the BLE functionality. As through the 'hcitool lescan' it can be make sure that BLE is supportable, but how could we actually send out the ibeacon advertising data?

    Is it device or module specific?

    What command should I run to advertise the data and to listen to other devices?

    Thanks

    Sumit Sharma

  • Hi,

    I don't remember trying BLE on BlueZ, can you please check it on BlueZ forum.

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Now I'm able to advertise the data. But with the bluez4.98 stack we don't have the option to enable GATT. It has only the option enable gatt example.

    1) So to enable the Gatt do we need to upgrade the bluez version?

    This question is again much related to bluez but I want to know

    Will that be compatible with WL1273L and the new firmware file, from the link you sent me?

    Thanks

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Also adding one more question

    Can we use the BLE Stack v1.4 from TI itself with the WL1273L?

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Yes it will be compatible with any version of blueZ.

  • Hi Sundeep,

    That's fine. So we can upgrade the bluez but I want to know if we can have the Generic Access Profile for WL1273L.

    And how we can configure it to support the device name and serial number?

    How is it done? Through some configure file or through xml file?

    Thanks

  • Hi Sundeep,

    One more question, back to the initialization. Now I'm getting the crash dumps whenever I try to do the hci0 interface up. The crash occurs 95% of the times after a reboot, i.e only sometimes it works.

    I'm running uim before that. I have added the prints, the following are the logs

    While in case of success, I get the following logs after the above logs:

    Is it related to some conf file or library or something else?

    Thanks

  • Hi Sandeep,

    Any inputs?

    I have tried to run the uim at boot time through the rcS file but still I am getting the crash sometimes at the boot time as well.

    There are no changes done in the driver.

    I have probed the UART pins. The BT_EN pin in the working stage the pin is initially low, it goes high and then again goes low but in case of crash after being high it doesn't goes low again, remains high there.

    The Tx and Rx pins have same behaviour in both cases. while the RTS and the CTS initially are high, toggles, and then again comes high in case it works fine, but remains low in case of crash.

    Please give your suggestions.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    I see that "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" from what you provided. But not sure what caused it.

    See the below link on bringing up blueZ on android and make sure you have not missed any of it.

    http://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/307/p/329091/1146911.aspx#1146911

    if you are using Linux

    see the below posts on bringing up BlueZ on Linux

  • Hi Sandeep,

    Thanks for the inputs, but i think I don't miss any one of them. The problem can be while integrating the bluetooth with the working wi-fi.

    The wi-fi is working in both AP and client modes and for the wifi we are using the wl127x-fw-5-mr.bin firmware file. During the first bringup of the wireless on board, we calibrated the wifi module with the ini file TQS_D_1.7.ini and wl12x-fw-5-plt.bin firmware and save the wl127x-nvs.bin in ti-connectivity folder.

    And for the bluetooth now I'm using the TIInit_7.6.15.bts firmware file from the git link given by you.

    So are these compatible with each other??

    Also when there is no crash sometimes it gives the following logs when we do hciconfig up:

    /usr/local/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up
    (stc): st_register(2)
    (stc):  chnl_id list empty :2
    (stk) : st_kim_start

    (stk) :ldisc_install = 0
    (stk) :ldisc_install = 1
    (stk) :line disc installation timed out
    (stk) :ldisc_install = 0
    ti_st_open: st_register failed -22
    Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5)

    Although I have already asked about this but that time it was the issue with the firmware file location, but now it's not that as sometimes it works too.

    Please provide your suggestions.

    Thanks

  • Hi Sundeep,

    Coming back for your help again, I would like to know how can we know the channel number and the rssi value from the advertised packet in linux as it is found using the BLE Sniffer Tool?

    How does sniffer get it known, as there seems to be no such field in the advertised packet and data packet??

    Thanks
