Facing issue while loading Bluetooth firmware on imx8

Ram2 — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 08:50:47 GMT

Hi Team

While trying to load the BT firmware , we are observing the timed-out error

root@imx8qxpc0mek:~# fw_loader_linux /dev/ttyLP3 115200 0 /etc/bt-fwimage/uartspi_n61x_v1.bin.se 3000000

Our BT is connected to lpuart3

dtsi changes made for bluetooth

&lpuart3 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_lpuart3>;
status = "okay";
};
pinctrl_lpuart3: lpuart3grp {
fsl,pins = <

After flashing the images we are able to see the

imx8qxpc0mek# ls -l /dev/tty
LP0 LP1 LP2 LP3

we are following the steps for validation
gpio_test -n 52 -o 1

root@imx8qxpc0mek:~# fw_loader_linux /dev/ttyLP3 115200 0 /etc/bt-fwimage/uartspi_n61x_v1.bin.se 3000000

When I run above steps its showing as

Please could you help us and share any inputs to resolve

What could be the root cause behind for this issue

Hi @Ram2!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

What board are you using?

What wifi module are you trying to use?

What BSP version are you using?

If you are using our wifi modules you have to activate the wifi module first.

I recommend to download the Linux User Guide of the BSP Version that you are using and see the chapter 11 to activate and use the bluetooth module correctly.

Hi @Chavira

What board are you using? --> Imx8qxpc0mek

WiFi-BTand BLE BLuetooth chip ---> IW611 [ Its Murata Chip]

What BSP version are you using? --> Nanbield [L6.6.3 kernel ]

But with out WiFi-BT , we need to enable only BT-BLE first and later WiFi-BT

Could you please help how to validate if user wants to validate only BT-BLE ?

Thanks

Hi @Ram2!

To enable the bluetooth module you have to load manually the kernel modules.

Please refer to our Linux User Guide on chapter 11 or the UM11675.

Hi @Chavira

I have followed the same steps as mentioned in doc and tried to load the driver dynamically

But still I see same issue I am frequently observing the below error

[ 12.214729] Bluetooth: hci0: Opcode 0x0c03 failed: -110
[ 44.250669] Bluetooth: hci0: Setting wake-up method failed (-110)

Could you please let us know in which case we will observe above error ,
Steps I followed
$ bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# default-agent
[bluetooth]# agent on
Nothings comes up and shows up

Please could you help here with your inputs for us move ahead for validation BLE

Thanks

Hi @Ram2!

Do you use the commands below?

$ modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf $ modprobe btnxpuart $ hciconfig hci0 up $ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# default-agent [bluetooth]# agent on [bluetooth]# scan on [bluetooth]# pair xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [BT dev]# connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [BT dev]# quit

If yes, please attach a log file of the entire boot.

Best Regards!
