[PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: Add LED triggers for HCI frames tx and rx

[PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: Add LED triggers for HCI frames tx and rx

[Guodong Xu]

Two LED triggers are defined: tx_led and rx_led. Upon frames
available in HCI core layer, for tx or for rx, the combined LED
can blink.

Verified on HiKey, 96boards. It uses hi6220 SoC and TI WL1835 combo
chip.

Set bluetooth led trigger to hci0-rx, and so LED blinks on hci
frame receiving.

so I am not convinced that this is the right way of doing TX/RX activity leds. This would have them purely based on HCI traffic and this would include control frames. I think that we want activity leds for actual radio activity. Meaning that when we have an active connection and ACL packets are exchanged or when we are scanning.

Marcel

Hi, Marcel

+       if (hci_skb_pkt_type(skb) == HCI_ACLDATA_PKT ||
+           hci_skb_pkt_type(skb) == HCI_SCODATA_PKT)
+               hci_leds_blink_oneshot(hdev->rx_led);
+

By adding pkt_type checks, we can limit LED blinks only at ACL/SCO
DATA_PKT. Similar checks can be added for tx_led too.

Does this look good to you? If you agree, I can send v2 to include this change.

Radio is controlled in Bluetooth module side, not Host. So I'm afraid
actual radio activity cannot be captured in its exact form in Host
side. The purpose of this patch is not for radio, it is for
incoming/outgoing data. For example, it can give user a blinking
indicator on RX frames after a Bluetooth mouse is connected. Another
example, it can blink at bluetooth streamed audio (TX).

Would that make sense?

we are not going to keep comparing packet types over and over again. The code is already doing that. So functions like hci_sched_acl and hci_acldata_packet are already present in the code.

So radio activity is caused by RX/TX meaning ACL/SCO packets for sure. There is also other radio activity caused by scanning, inquiry, create connection etc. And the question is if this should be there as well.

I wouldn't suggest to cover scanning, inquiry, etc. Scanning, for
example, Host sends a scan command to Bluetooth module (in an
asynchronous way). After a given interval, Host receives inquiry
results. Over this period, at host side, we don't know what kind of
radio activity is happening in BT module side.

Let's say this patch provide LED indicators to only data packets
activity (ACL and SCO). Can we?
