.. zephyr:code-sample:: bluetooth_hci_spi

|
:name: HCI SPI
|
|
:relevant-api: hci_raw bluetooth spi_interface
|
|
|
|
Expose a Bluetooth controller to another device or CPU over SPI.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
Expose Bluetooth Controller support over SPI to another device/CPU using
|
|
the Zephyr SPI HCI transport protocol (similar to BlueNRG).
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
A board with SPI slave, GPIO and Bluetooth Low Energy support.
|
|
|
|
Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
You then need to ensure that your :ref:`devicetree <dt-guide>` defines a node
|
|
for the HCI SPI slave device with compatible
|
|
:dtcompatible:`zephyr,bt-hci-spi-slave`. This node sets an interrupt line to
|
|
the host and associates the application with a SPI bus to use.
|
|
|
|
See :zephyr_file:`boards/nrf51dk_nrf51422.overlay
|
|
<samples/bluetooth/hci_spi/boards/nrf51dk_nrf51422.overlay>` in this sample
|
|
directory for an example overlay for the :ref:`nrf51dk_nrf51422` board.
|
|
|
|
You can then build this application and flash it onto your board in
|
|
the usual way; see :ref:`boards` for board-specific building and
|
|
flashing information.
|
|
|
|
You will also need a separate chip acting as BT HCI SPI master. This
|
|
application is compatible with the HCI SPI master driver provided by
|
|
Zephyr's Bluetooth HCI driver core; see the help associated with the
|
|
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_SPI` configuration option for more information.
|
|
|
|
Refer to :ref:`bluetooth-samples` for general Bluetooth information, and
|
|
to :ref:`96b_carbon_nrf51_bluetooth` for instructions specific to the
|
|
96Boards Carbon board.
