1# BTstack Port for the Espressif ESP32 Platform 2 3Status: Basic port incl. all examples. BTstack runs on dedicated FreeRTOS thread. Multi threading (calling BTstack functions from a different thread) is not supported. 4 5## Setup 6 7- Follow [Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) setup](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) to install XTensa toolchain and the ESP-IDF. 8- Make sure your checkout is newer than 4654278b1bd6b7f7f55013f7edad76109f7ee944 from Aug 25th, 2017 9- In port/esp32/template, configure the serial port for firmware upload as described in the ESP-IDF setup guides. 10 11## Usage 12 13In port/esp32, run 14 15 ./integrate_btstack.py 16 17The script will copy parts of the BTstack tree into the ESP-IDF as $IDF_PATH/components/btstack and then create project folders for all examples. 18 19Each example project folder, e.g. port/esp32/examples/spp_and_le_counter, contains a Makefile. Please run the command again after updating the BTstack tree (e.g. by git pull) to also update the copy in the ESP-IDF. 20 21The examples are configure for the original ESP32. IF you want to use the newer ESP32-C3 or ESP32-S3 - both only support Bluetooth LE - you need to: 221. set target: 23 24 `idf.py set-target esp32c3` 25 26 or 27 28 `idf.py set-target esp32s3` 29 302. re-enable Bluetooth Controller via menuconfig 31 32 1. `idf.py menuconfig` 33 2. select `Component Config` 34 3. select `Bluetooth` and enable 35 4. select `Bluetooth Host` 36 5. select `Controller Only` 37 6. exit and save config 38 39To compile an example, run: 40 41 idf.py 42 43 44To upload the binary to your device, run: 45 46 idf.py -p PATH-TO-DEVICE flash 47 48 49To get debug output, run: 50 51 idf.py monitor 52 53You can quit the monitor with CTRL-]. 54 55## Configuration 56 57The sdkconfig of the example template disables the original Bluedroid stack by disabling the CONFIG_BLUEDROID_ENABLED kconfig option. 58 59## Limitations 60 61### Issues with the Bluetooth Controller Implementation 62 63There are different issues in the Bluetooth Controller of the ESP32 that is provided in binary. We've submitted appropriate issues on the GitHub Issues page here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/created_by/mringwal 64 65### Audio playback 66 67Audio playback is implemented by `btstack_audio_esp32.c` and supports generic I2S codecs as well as the ES8388 on the [ESP32 LyraT v4.3](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-adf/en/latest/design-guide/board-esp32-lyrat-v4.3.html) devkit. 68 69It uses the first I2S interface with the following pin out: 70 71ESP32 pin | I2S Pin 72----------|--------- 73GPIO0 | MCK 74GPIO5 | BCLK 75GPIO25 | LRCK 76GPIO26 | DOUT 77GPIO35 | DIN 78 79If support for the LyraT v4.3 is enabled, e.g. via menuconfig - Example Board Configuration --> ESP32 board --> ESP32-LyraT V4.3, CONFIG_ESP_LYRAT_V4_3_BOARD gets defined and the ES8388 will be configured as well. 80 81We've also used the MAX98357A on the [Adafruit breakout board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3006). The simplest example is the mod_player, which plays back an 8 kB sound file and the a2dp_sink_demo that implements a basic Bluetooth loudspeaker. 82 83 84### Multi-Threading 85 86BTstack is not thread-safe, but you're using a multi-threading OS. Any function that is called from BTstack, e.g. packet handlers, can directly call into BTstack without issues. For other situations, you need to provide some general 'do BTstack tasks' function and trigger BTstack to execute it on its own thread. 87To call a function from the BTstack thread, there are currently two options: 88 89- *btstack_run_loop_freertos_execute_code_on_main_thread* allows to directly schedule a function callback, i.e. 'do BTstack tasks' function, from the BTstack thread. 90- Setup a BTstack Data Source (btstack_data_source_t): 91 Set 'do BTstack tasks' function as its process function and enable its polling callback (DATA_SOURCE_CALLBACK_POLL). The process function will be called in every iteration of the BTstack Run Loop. To trigger a run loop iteration, you can call *btstack_run_loop_freertos_trigger*. 92 93With both options, the called function should check if there are any pending BTstack tasks and execute them. 94 95The 'run on main thread' method is only provided by a few ports and requires a queue to store the calls. This should be used with care, since calling it multiple times could cause the queue to overflow. 96 97We're considering different options to make BTstack thread-safe, but for now, please use one of the suggested options. 98 99### Acknowledgments 100 101First HCI Reset was sent to Bluetooth chipset by [@mattkelly](https://github.com/mattkelly) 102
