备注

Connection TX power should only be set after the connection is established.

参数
  • power_type -- [in] The type of TX power. It could be Advertising, Connection, Default, etc.

  • power_level -- [in] Power level (index) corresponding to the absolute value (dBm)

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

备注

  1. Please call this function after esp_bt_controller_enable() and before any functions that cause RF transmission, such as performing discovery, profile initialization, and so on.

  2. For BR/EDR to use the new TX power for inquiry, call this function before starting an inquiry. If BR/EDR is already inquiring, restart the inquiry after calling this function.

参数
  • min_power_level -- [in] The minimum power level. The default value is ESP_PWR_LVL_N0.

  • max_power_level -- [in] The maximum power level. The default value is ESP_PWR_LVL_P3.

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Invalid argument

esp_err_t esp_bredr_tx_power_get(esp_power_level_t *min_power_level, esp_power_level_t *max_power_level)

Get BR/EDR TX power.

The corresponding power levels will be stored into the arguments.

参数
  • min_power_level -- [out] Pointer to store the minimum power level

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_init(esp_bt_controller_config_t *cfg)

Initialize the Bluetooth Controller to allocate tasks and other resources.

备注

This function should be called only once, before any other Bluetooth functions.

参数

备注

  1. You should stop advertising and scanning, and disconnect all existing connections before de-initializing Bluetooth Controller.

  2. This function should be called only once, after any other Bluetooth functions.

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Invalid argument

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM: Out of memory

Enable Bluetooth Controller.

For API compatibility, retain this argument. This mode must match the mode specified in the cfg of esp_bt_controller_init().

备注

  1. Bluetooth Controller cannot be enabled in ESP_BT_CONTROLLER_STATUS_IDLE status. It has to be initialized first.

  2. Due to a known issue, you cannot call esp_bt_controller_enable() for the second time to change the Controller mode dynamically. To change the Controller mode, call esp_bt_controller_disable() and then call esp_bt_controller_enable() with the new mode.

参数

mode -- [in] The Bluetooth Controller mode (BLE/Classic Bluetooth/BTDM) to enable

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_disable(void)

Check whether the Controller is ready to receive the packet.

If the return value is True, the Host can send the packet to the Controller.

备注

返回

True if the Controller is ready to receive packets; false otherwise

void esp_vhci_host_send_packet(uint8_t *data, uint16_t len)

Send the packet to the Controller.

备注

  1. This function shall not be called within a critical section or when the scheduler is suspended.

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_FAIL: Failure

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_mem_release(esp_bt_mode_t mode)

Release the Controller memory as per the mode.

This function releases the BSS, data and other sections of the Controller to heap. The total size is about 70 KB.

If you never intend to use Bluetooth in a current boot-up cycle, calling esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM) could release the BSS and data consumed by both Classic Bluetooth and BLE Controller to heap.

If you intend to use BLE only, calling esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_CLASSIC_BT) could release the BSS and data consumed by Classic Bluetooth Controller. You can then continue using BLE.

If you intend to use Classic Bluetooth only, calling esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BLE) could release the BSS and data consumed by BLE Controller. You can then continue using Classic Bluetooth.

备注

  1. This function is optional and should be called only if you want to free up memory for other components.

  2. This function should only be called when the controller is in ESP_BT_CONTROLLER_STATUS_IDLE status.

  3. Once Bluetooth Controller memory is released, the process cannot be reversed. This means you cannot use the Bluetooth Controller mode that you have released using this function.

  4. If your firmware will upgrade the Bluetooth Controller mode later (such as switching from BLE to Classic Bluetooth or from disabled to enabled), then do not call this function.

参数

mode -- [in] The Bluetooth Controller mode

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND: Requested resource not found

esp_err_t esp_bt_mem_release(esp_bt_mode_t mode)

Release the Controller memory, BSS and data section of the Classic Bluetooth/BLE Host stack as per the mode.

This function first releases Controller memory by internally calling esp_bt_controller_mem_release(), then releases Host memory.

If you never intend to use Bluetooth in a current boot-up cycle, calling esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM) could release the BSS and data consumed by both Classic Bluetooth and BLE stack to heap.

If you intend to use BLE only, calling esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_CLASSIC_BT) could release the BSS and data consumed by Classic Bluetooth. You can then continue using BLE.

If you intend to use Classic Bluetooth only, calling esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BLE) could release the BSS and data consumed by BLE. You can then continue using Classic Bluetooth.

For example, if you only use Bluetooth for setting the Wi-Fi configuration, and do not use Bluetooth in the rest of the product operation, after receiving the Wi-Fi configuration, you can disable/de-init Bluetooth and release its memory. Below is the sequence of APIs to be called for such scenarios:

  esp_bluedroid_disable();
  esp_bluedroid_deinit();
  esp_bt_controller_disable();
  esp_bt_controller_deinit();
  esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM);

备注

  1. This function is optional and should be called only if you want to free up memory for other components.

  2. This function should only be called when the controller is in ESP_BT_CONTROLLER_STATUS_IDLE status.

  3. Once Bluetooth Controller memory is released, the process cannot be reversed. This means you cannot use the Bluetooth Controller mode that you have released using this function.

  4. If your firmware will upgrade the Bluetooth Controller mode later (such as switching from BLE to Classic Bluetooth or from disabled to enabled), then do not call this function.

参数

mode -- [in] The Bluetooth Controller mode

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND: Requested resource not found

esp_err_t esp_bt_sleep_enable(void)

Enable Bluetooth modem sleep.

There are currently two options for Bluetooth modem sleep: ORIG mode and EVED mode. The latter is intended for BLE only. The modem sleep mode could be configured in menuconfig.

In ORIG mode, if there is no event to process, the Bluetooth Controller will periodically switch off some components and pause operation, then wake up according to the scheduled interval and resume work. It can also wakeup earlier upon external request using function esp_bt_controller_wakeup_request().

备注

This function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable().

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: Operation or feature not supported

esp_err_t esp_bt_sleep_disable(void)

Disable Bluetooth modem sleep.

备注

  1. Bluetooth Controller will not be allowed to enter modem sleep after calling this function.

  2. In ORIG modem sleep mode, calling this function may not immediately wake up the Controller if it is currently dormant. In this case, esp_bt_controller_wakeup_request() can be used to shorten the wake-up time.

  3. This function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable().

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: Operation or feature not supported

esp_err_t esp_ble_scan_dupilcate_list_flush(void)

Manually clear the scan duplicate list.

备注

  1. This function name is incorrectly spelled, it will be fixed in release 5.x version.

  2. The scan duplicate list will be automatically cleared when the maximum amount of devices in the filter is reached. The amount of devices in the filter can be configured in menuconfig.

返回

  • ESP_OK: Success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Invalid Bluetooth Controller state

void esp_wifi_bt_power_domain_on(void)
