$ make -C samples/bluetooth/<app>
= Bluetooth Sample application =
Host Bluetooth controller is connected to the second qemu serial line
through a UNIX socket (qemu option -serial unix:/tmp/bt-server-bredr).
This option is already added to qemu through QEMU_EXTRA_FLAGS in Makefile.
On the host side BlueZ allows to "connect" Bluetooth controller through
a so-called user channel. Use the btproxy tool for that:
$ sudo tools/btproxy -u
Listening on /tmp/bt-server-bredr
Note that before calling btproxy make sure that Bluetooth controller is down.
Now running qemu result connecting second serial line to 'bt-server-bredr'
UNIX socket. When Bluetooth (CONFIG_BLUETOOTH) and Bluetooth HCI UART driver
(CONFIG_BLUETOOTH_H4) are enabled, Bluetooth driver registers to the system.
From now on Bluetooth might be used by the application. To run application in
the qemu run:
$ make qemu
= Bluetooth sanity check =
There is smoke test application in tests directory which gets run in sanity
check script:
$ scripts/sanity_chk/sanitycheck [-P <platform>]
To only run Bluetooth tests use the -t bluetooth switch:
$ scripts/sanity_chk/sanitycheck -t bluetooth
= Summary of available applications =
beacon:
A simple application demonstrating the BLE Broadcaster role
functionality by advertising an Eddystone URL (the Zephyr
website).
central:
Application demonstrating very basic BLE Central role
functionality by scanning for other BLE devices and establishing
a connection to the first one with a strong enough signal.
central_hr:
Similar to 'central', except that this application specifically
looks for heart-rate monitors and reports the heart-rate
readings once connected.
eddystone:
Application demostrating Eddystone Configuration Service:
https://github.com/google/eddystone/tree/master/configuration-service
gatt:
Not an application, but a set of reusable modules for common
GATT profiles & services.
hci_uart:
Expose Zephyr Bluetooth Controller support over UART to another
device/CPU using the H:4 HCI transport protocol (requires HW
flow control from the UART).
hci_usb:
Make a USB Bluetooth dongle out of Zephyr. Requires USB device
support from the board it runs on (e.g. Arduino 101 has this).
ipsp:
Application demonstrating the IPSP (Internet Protocol Support
Profile) Node role. IPSP is the Bluetooth profile that
underneath utilizes 6LoWPAN, i.e. gives you IPv6 connectivity
over BLE.
peripheral:
Application demonstrating the BLE Peripheral role. It has
several well-known and vendor-specific GATT services that it
exposes.
peripheral_csc:
Similar to 'peripheral', except that this application
specifically exposes the CSC (Cycling Speed and Cadence)
GATT Service.
peripheral_dis:
Similar to 'peripheral', except that this application
specifically exposes the DIS (Device Information) GATT Service.
peripheral_esp:
Similar to 'peripheral', except that this application
specifically exposes the ESP (Environmental Sensing Profile)
GATT Service.
peripheral_hr:
Similar to 'peripheral', except that this application
specifically exposes the HR (Heart Rate) GATT Service. Once a
device connects it will generate dummy heart-rate values.
peripheral_hids:
Similar to 'peripheral', except that this application
specifically exposes the HID GATT Service. The report map used
is for a generic mouse.
