IMX8MPLUS HFP Bluetooth Profile Usecase

[fasilyousaf]

Hi,

I have interfaced an IW612 based Bluetooth module from Murata with the IMX8MPLUS EVK. My goal is to validate some Bluetooth use cases. So far, I have been able to do the following:

1. Connect one smartphone and two Bluetooth headsets simultaneously.
2. Stream audio from the smartphone to either one or both headsets simultaneously using the A2DP protocol.

However, I am unable to validate phone calls using the HFP profile. I want to be able to route the phone calls to the smartphone to the headsets via the IMX8MPLUS EVK. I can set either the smartphone or the headsets to HFP profile based on the order of pairing. But I am not able to set both of them to HFP profile simultaneously. When I run the command `pactl list cards`  only one of the above has the HFP profile availability shown as "YES".

Smartphone: handsfree_head_unit: Handsfree Head Unit (HFP) (sinks: 1, sources: 1, priority: 30, available: yes)

Headset: handsfree_audio_gateway: Handsfree Audio Gateway (HFP) (sinks: 1, sources: 1, priority: 10, available: no)

Is it possible to connect both smartphone and headset with HFP profile using a singe BT module at the same time? Or do I need to connect two BT modules for this to work?

Hi i'm working on HFP profile bringup on imx8mp Phytec board using android11 platform. here i am using wm8960 external audio codec. and realtek rtl8822b bt chip connected via USB interface.

here i have tested A2DP source and sink modes. by using WM8960 dts node mentioned below.

wm8960-audio-card {
compatible = "simple-audio-card";
simple-audio-card,name = "wm8960-audio";
simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&dailink_master>;
simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&dailink_master>;
simple-audio-card,mclk-fs = <32>;
simple-audio-card,hp-det = <2 0>;simple-audio-card,widgets =
"Microphone", "Mic Jack",
"Line", "Line In",
"Line", "Line Out",
"Speaker", "Speaker",
"Headphone", "Headphone Jack";
simple-audio-card,routing =

"RINPUT2", "Mic Jack";
status = "okay";
dailink_master: simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&sai2>;
};
simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&codec>;
system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
};
};
reg_audio_pwr: regulator-audio-pwr {
compatible = "regulator-fixed";
regulator-name = "audio-pwr";
regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
gpio = <&gpio4 29 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
enable-active-high;
regulator-always-on;
status = "okay";
};

which created sound cards

which created sound cards but those cards are not supporting hfp 

so i added btsco node in dts

bt_sco_codec: bt_sco_codec {
#sound-dai-cells = <1>;
compatible = "linux,bt-sco";
};

sound-bt-sco {
compatible = "simple-audio-card";
simple-audio-card,name = "bt-sco-audio";
simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
simple-audio-card,bitclock-inversion;
simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&btcpu>;
simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&btcpu>;

btcpu: simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&sai2>;
dai-tdm-slot-num = <2>;
dai-tdm-slot-width = <16>;
};

simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&bt_sco_codec 1>;
};
};

which created sound cards that can support hfp but sco task creation is failed can you help here?

Hi Team,

We are validating AzureWave AW-CM276MA (NXP 88W8997) HFP BT feature on IMX8MP EVK. We followed UM11490 doc sec 5.3 Hands-free profile (HFP) but we could not able to switch the voice call(audio) to imx8mp evk headset jack. Could you please share the proper procedure to validate HFP on imx8mp evk?

[fasilyousaf]

Hi,

I have followed the same document and was able to get the HFP call use case working properly through headphone jack. What is the configuration you are using for module-loopback command?

[nirmalluhana]

Hi @fasilyousaf,

I am also attempting to implement the same use case on the I.MX8QM SoC, but I have been unsuccessful thus far. Could you kindly provide me with the detailed steps and commands that you followed, so that I may replicate your efforts and potentially resolve the issue?

Could you please clarify if you performed this action on an Android image or a Yocto Linux image?

[Suraj_Vagoli]

Could you please share the command which you had tried for routing

[Suraj_Vagoli]

Hi , Thanks for the reply. We are referring sec 5.3 Hands-free profile (HFP) from UM11490 doc.

We have not tested with the headset jack. We are using BT headset as a sink device. Could you please share the steps which you referred to get the HFP working with headset jack?

[fasilyousaf]

When you mentioned headphone jack, I thought you meant wired headsets. I am also having issues with BT headsets. I am getting only one side audio.

[Suraj_Vagoli]

Hi I had tried with the headset jack also but still not able to get it working. Please have a look on audio routing

I already create one case to our WIFI engineer, they will deal with it and give you update then.

Wish you have a nice day

Which version BSP are you using?

[Suraj_Vagoli]

we are using LF_v5.15.32-2.0.0_images_IMX8MPEVK

Hi,

We are using kernel version 6.1.36+g04b05c5527e9.
