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)
Enable BT controller. Due to a known issue, you cannot call esp_bt_controller_enable() a second time to change the controller mode dynamically. To change controller mode, call esp_bt_controller_disable() and then call esp_bt_controller_enable() with the new mode.
- 参数
mode -- : the mode(BLE/BT/BTDM) to enable. For compatible of API, retain this argument.
- 返回
ESP_OK - success, other - failed
-
esp_err_t esp_bt_controller_disable(void)
Disable BT controller.
- 返回
ESP_OK - success, other - failed
-

true for ready to send, false means cannot send packet
-
void esp_vhci_host_send_packet(uint8_t *data, uint16_t len)

Should not call this function from within a critical section or when the scheduler is suspended.
- 参数
data -- the packet point
len -- the packet length
-
esp_err_t esp_vhci_host_register_callback(const esp_vhci_host_callback_t *callback)
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
-
int esp_ble_hw_get_static_addr(esp_ble_addr_t *addr)
Returns random static address or -1 if not present.
- 返回
ESP_OK - success, other - failed
