ESP HCI over UART0

Postby jsuffolk » Tue Jun 08, 2021 1:01 pm

I'm using an ESP32 with HCI with bluetooth classic RFCOMM via pybluez on a separate microcontroller (Jetson Nano). I only connected UART0 on the ESP32 device to the host microcontroller so I can reflash the device from the microcontroller. I've configured as H4 in menuconfig and disabled dual mode. I change around the pins so it worls. This mostly seems to work with the code at the bottom of this post. However, in using the bluetooth connection I see sporadic "bad checksum in packet" errors, corrupted data (responses that don't match what was sent from the client), and eventually the connection fails entirely. I'm sending small chatty packets: 4 bytes every 100ms.

I don't think it's a problem with the wiring because I'm able to flash the image over the same UART0 connection without problems.

I've tried all different baudrates, changing the TX/RX buffer sizes on the UART, and disabled UART0 debug console in menuconfig.

Is there some setting I've overlooked? Any suggestions for troubleshooting? Is it possible this is because I'm using UART0 pins, even though I'm remapping them?
