Bluetooth issue on IMX8M mini evk

jeanjean2000 — Tue, 21 May 2019 13:51:18 GMT

Hi All,

I am not able to make the Bluetooth controller working on the IMX8M mini evk. I made an fsl-image-machine-test and test the wifi interface without any problem.

Here are the steps I made to make bluetooth working:

root@imx8mmevk: ~# systemctl start bluetooth

root@imx8mmevk: ~# hciconfig hci0 up

Can't get device info: No such device

root@imx8mmevk: ~# bluetoothctl

Agent Registered

[bluetooth]# devices

No default controller available

[bluetooth]# quit

Hi Jean

one can check sect,4.12 Bluetooth attached Linux Manual and

IMX Bluetooth Obex - Variscite Wiki

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your quick reply and useful information.

I verified my Linux imx kernel config (/proc/configs.gz and .config) and everything seems to be activated:

• CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX=y
• CONFIG_TTY=y
• CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y
• CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y
• CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_QCA=y
• CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCM=y
• CONFIG_BT=y
• CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=y
• CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
• CONFIG_BT_BNEP=y
• CONFIG_BT_BNEP_MC_FILTER=y
• CONFIG_BT_BNEP_PROTO_FILTER=y
• CONFIG_BT_HIDP=y‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

here is the output of dmesg:

$ dmesg | grep -i Bluetooth
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized 
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized 
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized 
Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized 
Bluetooth: HCI UART driver ver 2.3

Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 
Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast 
Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized 
Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2 
Bluetooth: HIDP socket layer initialized

my lsmod returns the kernel module qca9377 as expected and bluez5 is included.

My mistake! Bluetooth chip is not connected to /dev/ttymxc2 but /dev/ttymxc0. Now hciattach make the setup complete.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

I am facing the same issues with my IMX8M Mini board. I have tried doing everything on this thread, one thing i am not able to do, is using hciattach command. I suspect i am doing something wrong. Since i am very new to this, can someone please elaborate on using the hciattach command to turn bluetooth ON? I get the following error when i try to run the hciattach command.

evk_8mm:/ #
evk_8mm:/ # hciattach
/system/bin/sh: hciattach: not found
127|evk_8mm:/ # hciattach /dev/ttymxc2 qca
/system/bin/sh: hciattach: not found

Hi Jean,

I am using iMX8MM DDR4 EVK . But the hciattach of both the ttymxc is not successful. Am i missing somethign here? could you please help. thaks

Hi Raajesh,

The right ttymxc to choose to make bluetooth controller working is defined in the device tree of the IMX8MM in Yocto environment. I don't remember the exact location of the file in the Yocto environment but try to find fsl-imx8mm.dts(i) file in sources. The corresponding ttymxc has to be defined with status = "okay".

Maybe this can help you to find the device tree of imx8mm platform:

"The device tree for file each boot variation is specified in the machine configuration files in the arch/arm/dts directory."

Hope It can help you.

Regards,

Jean
