Enable bluez utilities in IMX8QXP

[jnj]

Hi All,

I am currently working on L5.10 on the imx8qxp MEK board. I want to enable hciattach and hcitool on the imx8qxp. How can we enable the same in L5.10?Kindly help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 

Both tools should be included in BSP (also with 5.10) by default.

Hi @Harvey021 ,

Thank you for the prompt response. After yocto build and flashing , I am not able to find hciattach,hciconfig and hcitool .

Hi @Harvey021 ,

I checked with pre-built images. In the prebuilt images, hciattach, hcitool, and hciconfig are present. However, after executing 'repo init' and 'repo sync' commands (repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-hardknott -m imx-5.10.72-2.2.0_genivi.xml && repo sync), I performed the bitbake compilation and flashed the generated images onto the i.MX8QXP MEK board. Unfortunately, the tools hciattach, hcitool, and hciconfig are not available. I am attaching the folder structure of the 'bld-imx8qxpc0mek/tmp/work/cortexa35-poky-linux/bluez5/5.56-r0/image' below. Kindly go through it and guide me if we need to enable any flags in the Yocto SDK to enable hciattach, hcitool, and hciconfig.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 

Which Yocto image target have you built? minimal, or base ...etc. should not include them.

try multimedia or full.

Hi Harvey,

We are using imx-image-full command for our compilation.

Some warnings we have observed while we are compiling the imx-image-full or bluez5 which we have attached in this reply (bluez5_compilation_warning.png).

Hi @Harvey021 ,

While performing 'repo sync,' we encountered an issue with cloning the repository of the meta-ivi layer. Below is the log:

We have executed 'git config --global url." ".insteadOf git://github.com/' and also performed a separate clone of meta-ivi. However, during compilation, hcitool, hciattach, and hciconfig were not generated. After adding 'deprecated' in the file './meta-ivi/meta-ivi-test/recipes-connectivity/bluez5/bluez5_%.bbappend' as follows:

PACKAGECONFIG += " readline testing tools deprecated"

and recompiling, the binaries were generated. Even though the binaries were generated, there are issues with Bluetooth connectivity after flashing the Yocto image onto the device.

Kindly help me in resolving the issue.

Hi,

What about using imx-5.10.72-2.2.0.xml if just hcitool needed.

Regards

Harvey

Hi @Harvey021 ,

Sorry .I didn't check with the imx-5.10.72-2.2.0.xml. We  require the meta-ivi layer also.Why can't we fetch the meta-ivi layer?  

[Harvey021]

Please raise a new case for the meta-ivi layer sync issue.

Regards

Harvey

Hi @Harvey021 ,

Our main confusion is whether the Bluetooth-related package issues we observed are mainly due to a meta-ivi sync issue.

We have tried with the mentioned imx-5.10.72-2.2.0.xml. We also encountered another fetch issue

WARNING: libdrm-2.4.107.imx-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL git://github.com/nxp-imx/libdrm-imx.git;protocol=https;nobranch=1;branch=libdrm-imx-2.4.107, attempting MIRRORS if available

[Harvey021]

You can have a try to manually download from the link libdrm-2.4.107 , and to <path-to-build>/downloads. and then touch a copy of it with format like: <filename>.done, without "<>".

Harvey
