Bluetooth Driver services

btdrv

This is "nn::bluetooth::IBluetoothDriver".

Support for "nn::bluetooth::*" was added to sdknso with 6.x.

btdrv appears to be designed to only be used by the two sysmodules which use it, hid and btm. This service uses global state, nothing service-session-specific.

This has max_sessions 30. IPC handling is done by the main-thread.

As of 10.x these services only support using Hid and BLE devices, other devices such as audio are not usable.

[11.0.0+] sdknso moved various functions/etc from "nn::bluetooth::" into "nn::bluetooth::hal::". This includes all functions exposing btdrv. These btdrv functions now automatically initialize the service if needed, the dedicated initialization function is now a stub since calling it is no longer needed. The internal "nn::bluetooth::user::" functions implementing #bt were moved to "nn::bluetooth::hal::user::", these are called by the the user-facing "nn::bluetooth::" functions.

Cmds 46-83 were added with [4.0.0+].

Various cmds were moved/etc starting with #InitializeBle with [5.0.0+].

InitializeBluetoothDriver

No input/output.

[1.0.0-10.2.0] This is the first cmd used during service init.

This just returns 0.

InitializeBluetooth

No input, returns an output Event handle with EventClearMode=1.

This is used by btm, this should not be used by other processes.

This first initializes the funcptr table interfaces to the defaults (same as #DisableBluetooth). GetConfigurationId1 is used, an error is thrown if the output string is empty, or if it matches "SDEV_00_01_00".

If the flag for #IsManufacturingMode is 0, or if this cmd was already used where that flag was 1, an interface funcptr is called. This is passed a ptr to a table of funcptrs. The ret is converted to a Result and returned if needed.

The funcptr does the following:

• A func is called, which copies the input funcptr table into global state. These are used for writing events into #EventInfo.
• A func is called 5 times with input param = [1-5]. This initializes the specified nn::bluetooth::CircularBuffer (sharedmem and internal).
• A func is called for creating the "nn.bluetooth.HidMessageHandler" thread.

Lastly, the Event is created and returned (which global state the Event is stored in depends on whether the code-path which calls the above funcptr was used).

EnableBluetooth

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

This first calls an interface funcptr, on failure 0xCA71 is returned.

A global fixed #Address is copied to stack, this stack data is then overwritten with the output from GetBluetoothBdAddress. If GetBluetoothBdAddress fails, this will Abort. Then the same funcptr used by #SetAdapterProperty is called with this stack data, with type2. A converted error is returned if needed.

The last two bytes of the stack #Address are inverted (byteval = ~byteval), then the above funcptr is called with this for type3. Error conversion is handled if needed, then this returns 0.

The first funcptr called above does the following:

• Calls a GPIO func with param=0, sleeps for 10000000 nanoseconds, then calls the GPIO func again with param=1.
• Calls a func for initializing the paired-devices table (empty).
• Calls a modified version of BSA_Boot, which handles BSA server initialization.
• Calls a func which uses nn::os::InitializeEvent and nn::os::InitializeMutex with global state.
• Calls a func which handles BSA client initialization. This also sends a message to the "nn.bluetooth.HidMessageHandler" thread for enabling bluetooth (which updates the interface funcptr tables, etc).
• Calls a func which enables HID-Host with BSA, and opens the UIPC channel where the registered funcptr is used for writing HID DATA reports which were received.
• Calls a func which initializes global state and uses BSA for initializing Security.
• If the output flag from GetBluetoothBoostEnableFlag is set, a func is called.
• If the output flag from GetBluetoothAfhEnableFlag is not set, a func is called.

The GPIO func does the following:

• Initializes the gpio service.
• Uses OpenSession with value 0x03 (BtRst).
• Uses SetDirection with value 0x1.
• Uses SetValue with the param which was passed to this func.
• Does cleanup for the session object and exits the service.

DisableBluetooth

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

This calls an interface funcptr. On success, the funcs for updating the interface funcptr tables are called (same as #InitializeBluetooth). Then the converted ret is returned as needed.

When bluetooth is already disabled, that funcptr just returns 0. Otherwise when it's already enabled, it does the following:

• Calls a func which closes the HID-Host UIPC channel, and uses BSA for disabling HID-Host.
• Calls a func which uses nn::os::FinalizeMutex and nn::os::FinalizeEvent with global state.
• Uses nn::os::InitializeEvent, nn::os::InitializeTimerEvent, with a ptr for the former Event being written into global state.
• Uses BTA_DisableBluetooth.
• Uses nn::os::StartOneShotTimerEvent with a value of 5 seconds.
• Waits for either of the above to trigger using nn::os::TryWaitEvent and nn::os::TryWaitTimerEvent, with each loop iteration sleeping for 5000000 nanoseconds.
  • The Event is signaled when disabling bluetooth finishes.
• Cleanup for the above Event/TimerEvent is done.
• Calls a func which handles BSA client cleanup.
• Calls a func which does the following:
  • Calls a func which tells the "nn.bluetooth.TimerThread" to exit, then destroys that thread (GKI timer thread).
  • Calls a func which just returns.
  • Calls a func which handles GKI cleanup (including destroying the task threads).
  • Calls a func which waits for the UIPC threads to exit + destroys the threads and handles cleanup.
• Calls the same GPIO func as #EnableBluetooth with param=0.
• Sends a message to the "nn.bluetooth.HidMessageHandler" thread for disabling bluetooth (which updates the interface funcptr tables, etc).

FinalizeBluetooth

No input/output.

Not used by btm, other processes should not use this.

Calls an interface funcptr, the ret is ignored. The Event setup by #InitializeBluetooth is closed. Lastly, the same funcs used by #InitializeBluetooth are called for initializing the interface funcptr tables to the defaults, then 0 is returned.

The above interface funcptr does the following (regardless of whether bluetooth is disabled/enabled):

• Calls a func which: uses nn::os::SignalLightEvent to tell the "nn.bluetooth.HidMessageHandler" thread to exit, then waits for the thread to exit and destroys the thread.
• Calls the same func as #InitializeBluetooth for setting event funcptrs in global state, except in this case the content of the input table is all NULL.
• Calls a func 5 times with param=[1-5]. This is the cleanup version of the nn::bluetooth::CircularBuffer setup func used by #InitializeBluetooth.

GetAdapterProperties

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing an #AdapterProperty.

This is used by btm.

GetAdapterProperty

Takes an input #BluetoothPropertyType and a type-0xA output buffer.

SetAdapterProperty

Takes an input #BluetoothPropertyType and a type-0x9 input buffer.

StartInquiry

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

This starts Inquiry, the output data will be available via #GetEventInfo. Inquiry will automatically stop in 10.24 seconds.

StopInquiry

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

This stops Inquiry which was started by #StartInquiry, if it's still active.

CreateBond

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #TransportType, no output.

[9.0.0+] Now only takes an #Address and a #TransportType without a buffer, no output.

The #TransportType is unused.

This is used by btm.

RemoveBond

Takes an input #Address, no output.

This is used by btm.

CancelBond

Takes an input #Address, no output.

This is used by btm.

RespondToPinRequest

Takes an input #Address, a bool, an u8, a #BluetoothPinCode, no output.

sdknso uses an user-specified s32 for the u8.

The sysmodule impl for the funcptr used with this cmd only uses the #Address - this and hard-coded string "0000" are written into the parameter struct (and a size field for the string).

RespondToSspRequest

Takes an input #Address, a #BluetoothSspVariant, a bool, an u32, no output.

This is used by btm.

The sysmodule impl for the funcptr used with this cmd only uses the #Address and bool - the parameter struct size is only 0x7-bytes.

GetEventInfo

Takes a type-0xA output buffer and returns an output #EventType.

This copies 0x400-bytes from state to the output buffer, copies the #EventType from state to output, and signals an event.

This is used by btm.

See #EventInfo.

InitializeHid

Takes an input u16, returns an output Event with EventClearMode=1.

Originally sdknso used an user-specified value for the u16, however with [9.0.0+] it uses hard-coded value 0x1 instead.

This is used by btm, this should not be used by other processes.

OpenHidConnection

Takes an input #Address, no output.

This just returns 0.

This is used by btm.

CloseHidConnection

Takes an input #Address, no output.

This is used by btm.

HidSendData

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #HidData, no output.

WriteHidData

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #HidReport, no output.

This is used by hid.

This sends a HID DATA transaction packet with report-type Output.

WriteHidData2

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x9 input buffer, no output.

This is internally the same as #WriteHidData, with the input buffer being directly passed to the funcptr instead of a tmp copy of the input #HidReport.

HidSetReport

Takes an input #Address, a #BluetoothHhReportType, a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #HidData, no output.

SetHidReport

Takes an input #Address, a #BluetoothHhReportType, a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #HidReport, no output.

This is used by hid.

This sends a HID SET_REPORT transaction packet.

GetHidReport

Takes an input #Address, an u8 report_id, a #BluetoothHhReportType, no output.

This is used by hid.

This sends a HID GET_REPORT transaction packet. The report_id is sent in the packet for the Report Id, when non-zero.

HidWakeController

Takes an input #Address, no output.

TriggerConnection

Takes an input #Address and an u16, no output.

This is used by btm.

This calls an interface funcptr, then returns the converted ret as needed.

The funcptr does the following:

• Calls a func, returning the ret on failure. This uses a BSA extension (message 0x8CE), with the input u16 being used with this.
• Then another func is called, with the input #Address, with the ret from here being returned. This throws an error if the device isn't paired. This opens a HID-Host connection to the specified #Address. The passed sec_mask is 0x12 (Inbound/outbound authentication required), and brcm_mask is set for enabling TBFC Page.

The handler for the above message with the used bit flag does the following:

• Uses HCI vendor command 0xFCC2 with param_len=0xE. Param data: u32 +0 = 0x14E18, u16 +4 = 0x20, u8 +6 = 0x2, u16 +7 = {input u16 message param value} (written via u8 writes), u32 +9 = 0x30200, u8 +0xD = 0.

AddPairedDeviceInfo

Takes a type-0x19 input buffer containing BluetoothDevicesSettings, no output.

This is used by btm.

GetPairedDeviceInfo

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x1A output buffer containing BluetoothDevicesSettings.

This is used by btm.

FinalizeHid

No input/output.

Not used by btm, other processes should not use this.

GetHidEventInfo

Takes a type-0xA output buffer, returns an output #HidEventType.

This copies 0x480-bytes from state to the output buffer. #HidEventType is set to: stateval!=0 ? 7 : 0. Once finished, this signals an event.

This is used by btm.

SetTsi

Takes an input #Address and an u8 Tsi, no output.

This is used by btm.

The response will be available via #GetHidEventInfo.

This uses a BSA extension.

Tsi: non-value-0xFF to Set (BSA message 0x8CA), value 0xFF to Exit (BSA message 0x8CB).

Set: this uses command HCI_Set_MWS_Signaling with data determined using the input u8. Then this uses Broadcom HCI vendor command 0xFD95 with param_len=0x2: param +0x0 = 0x1, +0x1 = {Tsi value}. When this vendor command is successful, it then uses command HCI_Sniff_Mode with data selected using the Tsi value as the array-index. If the remote device doesn't support this (status indicating error with Mode Change Event for the response to HCI_Sniff_Mode), an error will be thrown via the EventInfo. That error can be resolved if the remote device uses the HCI_Sniff_Mode command prior to the Switch doing so.

Exit: this uses command HCI_Exit_Sniff_Mode.

EnableBurstMode

Takes an input #Address and a bool, no output.

This is used by btm.

The response will be available via #GetHidEventInfo.

This uses a BSA extension.

bool flag: true = Set (BSA message 0x8CC), false = Exit (BSA message 0x8CD).

SetZeroRetransmission

Takes an input #Address and a type-0x9 input buffer containing an array of u8s, no output.

The entry-count is clamped to a maximum of 5, the count can be 0. This buffer contains ReportIds.

This is used by btm.

The response will be available via #GetHidEventInfo.

This uses a BSA extension (message 0x8CF).

EnableMcMode

Takes an input bool, no output.

This is used by btm.

This uses a BSA extension (message 0x8CE).

EnableLlrScan

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

This is used by btm.

This uses a BSA extension (message 0x8CE).

SetVisibility

Takes two input bools, no output.

This is used by btm.

EnableTbfcScan

Takes an input bool, no output.

This is used by btm.

RegisterHidReportEvent

No input, returns an output Event handle with EventClearMode=1.

This gets the Event handle for a previously created Event.

This is used by hid.

The Event is signaled when data is available with #GetHidReportEventInfo.

GetHidReportEventInfo

No input, takes a type-0xA output buffer and returns a #HidEventType.

[7.0.0+] No longer takes a buffer or returns output, now returns an output sharedmem handle. sdknso maps this with size=0x3000 and permissions=RW-.

Originally this was used in a dedicated sdknso func, with [7.0.0+] this is now used at the start of the sdknso impl for #RegisterHidReportEvent if the above sharedmem was not mapped yet.

The [7.0.0+] GetHidReportEventInfo sdknso func loads data using the above sharedmem.

This is used by hid.

GetLatestPlr

Takes a type-0x16 output buffer containing a #PlrList ([1.0.0-8.1.1] #PlrStatistics).

GetPendingConnections

No input/output.

This is used by btm.

The output data will be available via #GetHidEventInfo.

GetChannelMap

Takes a type-0x16 output buffer containing a #ChannelMapList.

EnableTxPowerBoostSetting

Takes an input bool, no output.

sdknso ignores errors from this. sdknso exposes this under "nn::bluetooth::debug::".

IsTxPowerBoostSettingEnabled

No input, returns an output bool.

sdknso sets the tmpout_bool to 1, and uses that with the cmd. The sdknso func directly returns tmpout_bool, errors from the cmd are ignored.

sdknso exposes this under "nn::bluetooth::debug::".

EnableAfhSetting

IsManufacturingMode

No input, returns an output bool.

sdknso will Abort if this fails, the bool is returned instead of a Result. sdknso exposes this under "nn::bluetooth::debug::".

This calls the same two funcs as various other cmds etc. This writes the bool returned by the second func to output, then returns 0. The second func loads the bool from system-setting "bluetooth_debug!skip_boot". The first func is the same as the second one, except it writes the bool into global state.

This is used by btm.

EmulateBluetoothCrash

Takes an input #FatalReason, no output.

sdknso masks the FatalReason with an u16-mask before passing it to the cmd. sdknso exposes this under "nn::bluetooth::debug::".

This writes data into a CircularBuffer (seperate from sharedmem) with type=0x29, where the data is an u16 determined using the input #FatalReason. This is only done if a state field is value 0x3, after calling the func for this the field is set to value 0. The thread handling that sent message then converts the u16 back into a #FatalReason for writing into #EventInfo.

GetBleChannelMap

Takes a type-0x16 output buffer containing a #ChannelMapList.

bt

This is "nn::bluetooth::IBluetoothUser".

This has max_sessions 30. IPC handling is done by the main-thread.

The bluetooth driver implements the bluetooth protocol over h4/uart. It interfaces with the uart service to actually talk with the bluetooth hardware.

The bluetooth stack is Broadcom/Cypress brcm BSA (for example, see here).

Various btdrv service commands use a custom BSA extension (message-ids based at 0x8CA/2250), this is referred to as "robson".

The following L2CAP services are registered (dynamic channels): SDP, ATT (GATT), RFCOMM, HID (PSMs: 0x11, 0x13, 0x8001, 0x8003).

l2cu_send_peer_echo_rsp is called with p_data=NULL and data_len=0, therefore no data is returned in the L2CAP ECHO response.

The following HID transaction types are supported (by hidh_l2cif_data_ind): HANDSHAKE, CONTROL (only param VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG is supported), DATA, DATAC.

• DATAC is not actually supported, since the callback function (bta_hh_cback) just frees the message and returns.
