esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_init(esp_bt_controller_config_t *cfg)

Initialize BT controller to allocate task and other resource. This function should be called only once, before any other BT functions are called.

参数: cfg -- Initial configuration of BT controller. Different from previous version, there's a mode and some connection configuration in "cfg" to configure controller work mode and allocate the resource which is needed.
返回: ESP_OK - success, other - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_deinit(void)

De-initialize BT controller to free resource and delete task. You should stop advertising and scanning, as well as disconnect all existing connections before de-initializing BT controller.

This function should be called only once, after any other BT functions are called. This function is not whole completed, esp_bt_controller_init cannot called after this function.

返回: ESP_OK - success, other - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_enable(esp_bt_mode_t mode)

参数: mode -- : the mode(BLE/BT/BTDM) to enable. For compatible of API, retain this argument. This mode must be equal as the mode in "cfg" of esp_bt_controller_init().
返回: ESP_OK - success, other - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_disable(void)

esp_vhci_host_register_callback register the vhci reference callback struct defined by vhci_host_callback structure.

参数: callback -- esp_vhci_host_callback type variable
返回: ESP_OK - success, ESP_FAIL - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_mem_release(esp_bt_mode_t mode)

esp_bt_controller_mem_release 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 70k bytes.

esp_bt_controller_mem_release(mode) should be called only before esp_bt_controller_init() or after esp_bt_controller_deinit().

Note that once BT controller memory is released, the process cannot be reversed. It means you cannot use the bluetooth mode which you have released by this function.

If your firmware will later upgrade the Bluetooth controller mode (BLE -> BT Classic or disabled -> enabled) then do not call this function.

If the app calls esp_bt_controller_enable(ESP_BT_MODE_BLE) to use BLE only then it is safe to call esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_CLASSIC_BT) at initialization time to free unused BT Classic memory.

If the mode is ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM, then it may be useful to call API esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM) instead, which internally calls esp_bt_controller_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM) and additionally releases the BSS and data consumed by the BT/BLE host stack to heap. For more details about usage please refer to the documentation of esp_bt_mem_release() function

参数: mode -- : the mode want to release memory
返回: ESP_OK - success, other - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_mem_release(esp_bt_mode_t mode)

esp_bt_mem_release release controller memory and BSS and data section of the BT/BLE host stack as per the mode

This function first releases controller memory by internally calling esp_bt_controller_mem_release(). Additionally, if the mode is set to ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM, it also releases the BSS and data consumed by the BT/BLE host stack to heap

Note that once BT memory is released, the process cannot be reversed. It means you cannot use the bluetooth mode which you have released by this function.

If your firmware will later upgrade the Bluetooth controller mode (BLE -> BT Classic or disabled -> enabled) then do not call this function.

If you never intend to use bluetooth in a current boot-up cycle, you can call esp_bt_mem_release(ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM) before esp_bt_controller_init or after esp_bt_controller_deinit.

For example, if a user only uses bluetooth for setting the WiFi configuration, and does not use bluetooth in the rest of the product operation". In such cases, after receiving the WiFi configuration, you can disable/deinit 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);

参数: mode -- : the mode whose memory is to be released
返回: ESP_OK - success, other - failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_sleep_enable(void)

enable bluetooth to enter modem sleep

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable()

There are currently two options for bluetooth modem sleep, one is ORIG mode, and another is EVED Mode. EVED Mode is intended for BLE only.

For ORIG mode: Bluetooth modem sleep is enabled in controller start up by default if CONFIG_BTDM_CONTROLLER_MODEM_SLEEP is set and "ORIG mode" is selected. In ORIG modem sleep mode, bluetooth controller will switch off some components and pause to work every now and then, if there is no event to process; and wakeup according to the scheduled interval and resume the work. It can also wakeup earlier upon external request using function "esp_bt_controller_wakeup_request".

返回

ESP_OK : success
other : failed

esp_err_t esp_bt_sleep_disable(void)

disable bluetooth modem sleep

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable()

If esp_bt_sleep_disable() is called, bluetooth controller will not be allowed to enter modem sleep;

If ORIG modem sleep mode is in use, if this function is called, bluetooth controller may not immediately wake up if it is dormant then. In this case, esp_bt_controller_wakeup_request() can be used to shorten the time for wakeup.

返回

ESP_OK : success
other : failed

bool esp_bt_controller_is_sleeping(void)

to check whether bluetooth controller is sleeping at the instant, if modem sleep is enabled

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable() This function is supposed to be used ORIG mode of modem sleep

返回: true if in modem sleep state, false otherwise

void esp_bt_controller_wakeup_request(void)

request controller to wakeup from sleeping state during sleep mode

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable() Note that this function is supposed to be used ORIG mode of modem sleep Note that after this request, bluetooth controller may again enter sleep as long as the modem sleep is enabled

Profiling shows that it takes several milliseconds to wakeup from modem sleep after this request. Generally it takes longer if 32kHz XTAL is used than the main XTAL, due to the lower frequency of the former as the bluetooth low power clock source.

int esp_bt_h4tl_eif_io_event_notify(int event)

notify bluetooth controller task to process the event upon Tx or Rx done

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_enable() This function can be called in both ISR and non-ISR context

void esp_wifi_bt_power_domain_off(void): bt Wi-Fi power domain power off

Note that this function shall not be invoked before esp_bt_controller_init()

返回: clock source used in Bluetooth low power mode
