(HCI) layer
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In netgraph/bluetooth/include/ng_hci.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm hci
|
|
node type is a Netgraph node type that implements Bluetooth Host Controller
|
|
Interface (HCI) layer as per chapter H1 of the Bluetooth Specification Book
|
|
v1.1.
|
|
.Sh INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH
|
|
Bluetooth is a short-range radio link intended to replace the cable(s)
|
|
connecting portable and/or fixed electronic devices.
|
|
Bluetooth operates in the unlicensed ISM band at 2.4 GHz.
|
|
The Bluetooth protocol uses a
|
|
combination of circuit and packet switching.
|
|
Bluetooth can support an
|
|
asynchronous data channel, up to three simultaneous synchronous voice
|
|
channels, or a channel which simultaneously supports asynchronous data
|
|
and synchronous voice.
|
|
Each voice channel supports a 64 kb/s synchronous
|
|
(voice) channel in each direction.
|
|
The asynchronous channel can support
|
|
maximal 723.2 kb/s asymmetric (and still up to 57.6 kb/s in the return
|
|
direction), or 433.9 kb/s symmetric.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Bluetooth system provides a point-to-point connection (only two
|
|
Bluetooth units involved), or a point-to-multipoint connection.
|
|
In the point-to-multipoint connection,
|
|
the channel is shared among several Bluetooth units.
|
|
Two or more units sharing the same channel form a
|
|
.Dq piconet .
|
|
One Bluetooth unit acts as the master of the piconet, whereas the other
|
|
unit(s) acts as slave(s).
|
|
Up to seven slaves can be active in the piconet.
|
|
In addition, many more slaves can remain locked to the master in a so-called
|
|
parked state.
|
|
These parked slaves cannot be active on the channel, but remain
|
|
synchronized to the master.
|
|
Both for active and parked slaves, the channel
|
|
access is controlled by the master.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multiple piconets with overlapping coverage areas form a
|
|
.Dq scatternet .
|
|
Each piconet can only have a single master.
|
|
However, slaves can participate
|
|
in different piconets on a time-division multiplex basis.
|
|
In addition, a master in one piconet can be a slave in another piconet.
|
|
The piconets shall not be frequency-synchronized.
|
|
Each piconet has its own hopping channel.
|
|
.Ss Time Slots
|
|
The channel is divided into time slots, each 625 usec in length.
|
|
The time
|
|
slots are numbered according to the Bluetooth clock of the piconet master.
|
|
The slot numbering ranges from 0 to 2^27 -1 and is cyclic with a cycle length
|
|
of 2^27.
|
|
In the time slots, master and slave can transmit packets.
|
|
.Ss SCO Link
|
|
The SCO link is a symmetric, point-to-point link between the master and a
|
|
specific slave.
|
|
The SCO link reserves slots and can therefore be considered
|
|
as a circuit-switched connection between the master and the slave.
|
|
The SCO link typically supports time-bounded information like voice.
|
|
The master can
|
|
support up to three SCO links to the same slave or to different slaves.
|
|
A slave can support up to three SCO links from the same master, or two SCO
|
|
links if the links originate from different masters.
|
|
SCO packets are never retransmitted.
|
|
.Ss ACL Link
|
|
In the slots not reserved for SCO links, the master can exchange packets
|
|
with any slave on a per-slot basis.
|
|
The ACL link provides a packet-switched
|
|
connection between the master and all active slaves participating in the
|
|
piconet.
|
|
Both asynchronous and isochronous services are supported.
|
|
Between a master and a slave only a single ACL link can exist.
|
|
For most ACL packets,
|
|
packet retransmission is applied to assure data integrity.
|
|
.Sh HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE (HCI)
|
|
The HCI provides a command interface to the baseband controller and link
|
|
manager, and access to hardware status and control registers.
|
|
This interface
|
|
provides a uniform method of accessing the Bluetooth baseband capabilities.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The HCI layer on the Host exchanges data and commands with the HCI firmware
|
|
on the Bluetooth hardware.
|
|
The Host Controller Transport Layer (i.e., physical
|
|
bus) driver provides both HCI layers with the ability to exchange information
|
|
with each other.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Host will receive asynchronous notifications of HCI events independent
|
|
of which Host Controller Transport Layer is used.
|
|
HCI events are used for
|
|
notifying the Host when something occurs.
|
|
When the Host discovers that an
|
|
event has occurred it will then parse the received event packet to determine
|
|
which event occurred.
|
|
The next sections specify the HCI packet formats.
|
|
.Ss HCI Command Packet

|
.Bd -literal -offset indent

|
|
} __attribute__ ((packed)) ng_hci_cmd_pkt_t;

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The HCI command packet is used to send commands to the Host Controller
|
|
from the Host.
|
|
When the Host Controller completes most of the commands,
|
|
a Command Complete event is sent to the Host.
|
|
Some commands do not receive
|
|
a Command Complete event when they have been completed.
|
|
Instead, when the
|
|
Host Controller receives one of these commands the Host Controller sends
|
|
a Command Status event back to the Host when it has begun to execute the
|
|
command.
|
|
Later on, when the actions associated with the command have finished,
|
|
an event that is associated with the sent command will be sent by the Host
|
|
Controller to the Host.

.Sh HCI INITIALIZATION
|
|
On initialization, HCI control application must issue the following HCI
|
|
commands (in any order).
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent

.It Dv Read_BD_ADDR
|
|

|
|
.It Dv Read_Local_Supported_Features
|

|
|
.It Dv Read_Buffer_Size
|
|
To determine the maximum size of HCI ACL and SCO HCI data packets (excluding
|
|
header) that can be sent from the Host to the Host Controller.
|
|
There are also
|
|
two additional return parameters that specify the total number of HCI ACL and
|
|
SCO data packets that the Host Controller can have waiting for transmission in
|
|
its buffers.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As soon as HCI initialization has been successfully performed, HCI control
|
|
application must turn on
|
|
.Dq inited
|
|
bit for the node.
|
|
Once HCI node has been initialized all upstream hooks
|
|
will receive a
|
|
.Dv NGM_HCI_NODE_UP
|
|
Netgraph message defined as follows.

.Ed
|
|
.Sh HCI FLOW CONTROL
|
|
HCI layer performs flow control on baseband connection basis (i.e., ACL and
|
|
SCO link).
|
|
Each baseband connection has
|
|
.Dq "connection handle"
|
|
and queue of outgoing data packets.
|
|
Upper layers protocols are allowed to
|
|
send up to
|
|
.Dv ( num_pkts
|
|
\-
|
|
.Dv pending )
|
|
packets at one time.
|
|
HCI layer will send
|
|
.Dv NGM_HCI_SYNC_CON_QUEUE
|
|
Netgraph messages to inform upper layers about current queue state for each
|
|
connection handle.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv NGM_HCI_SYNC_CON_QUEUE
|
|
Netgraph message is defined as follows.
