Bluetooth: Broadcast Audio Profile Broadcast Assistant ###################################################### This document describes how to run the BAP Broadcast Assistant functionality. Note that in the examples below, some lines of debug have been removed to make this shorter and provide a better overview. The Broadcast Assistant is responsible for offloading scan for a resource restricted device, such that scanning does not drain the battery. The Broadcast Assistant shall support scanning for periodic advertisements and may optionally support the periodic advertisements synchronization transfer (PAST) protocol. The Broadcast Assistant will typically be phones or laptops. The Broadcast Assistant scans for periodic advertisements and transfer information to the server. It is necessary to have :code:`BT_DEBUG_BAP_BROADCAST_ASSISTANT` enabled for using the Broadcast Assistant interactively. When the Bluetooth stack has been initialized (:code:`bt init`), and a device has been connected, the Broadcast Assistant can discover BASS on the connected device calling :code:`bap_broadcast_assistant discover`, which will start a discovery for the BASS UUIDs and store the handles, and subscribe to all notifications. .. code-block:: console bap_broadcast_assistant - Bluetooth BAP Broadcast Assistant shell commands Subcommands: discover :Discover BASS on the server scan_start :Start scanning for broadcasters scan_stop :Stop scanning for BISs add_src :Add a source [] [] [] mod_src :Set sync [] [] [] broadcast_code :Send a space separated broadcast code of up to 16 bytes [broadcast code] rem_src :Remove a source read_state :Remove a source Example usage ************* Setup ===== .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bt init uart:~$ bt connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx public When connected ============== Start scanning for periodic advertisements for a server: .. note:: The Broadcast Assistant will not actually start scanning for periodic advertisements, as that feature is still, at the time of writing, not implemented. .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant discover bt_bap_broadcast_assistant.char_discover_func: Found 1 BASS receive states bt_bap_broadcast_assistant.read_recv_state_cb: src_id 0, PA 0, BIS 0, encrypt 0, addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 (public), sid 0, metadata_len 0 uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant scan_start bt_bap_broadcast_assistant.write_func: err: 0x00, handle 0x001e Adding a source to the receive state: .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant add_src 11:22:33:44:55:66 public 5 1 1 BASS recv state: src_id 0, addr 11:22:33:44:55:66 (public), sid 5, sync_state 1, encrypt_state 000000000000000000000000000000000 [0]: BIS sync 0, metadata_len 0
