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
This function is optional and should be called only if you want to free up memory for other components.
This function should only be called when the controller is in
ESP_BT_CONTROLLER_STATUS_IDLE
status.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.
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
This function is optional and should be called only if you want to free up memory for other components.
This function should only be called when the controller is in
ESP_BT_CONTROLLER_STATUS_IDLE
status.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.

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
Bluetooth Controller will not be allowed to enter modem sleep after calling this function.
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.This function shall not be invoked before
esp_bt_controller_enable()
.
- 返回
ESP_OK: Success
