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 uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant --help bap_broadcast_assistant - Bluetooth BAP broadcast assistant client 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 [] [] [] add_broadcast_id : Add a source by broadcast ID [] [] add_pa_sync : Add a PA sync as a source [bis_index [bis_index [bix_index [...]]]]> mod_src : Set sync [ | "unknown"] [] [] broadcast_code : Send a string-based broadcast code of up to 16 bytes rem_src : Remove a source read_state : Remove a source Example usage ************* Setup ===== .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bt init uart:~$ bap 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 BASS discover done with 1 recv states uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant scan_start true BASS scan start successful Found broadcaster with ID 0x05BD38 and addr 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random) and sid 0x00 Adding a source to the receive state with add_src: -------------------------------------------------- .. 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 Adding a source to the receive state with add_broadcast_id (recommended): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant add_broadcast_id 0x05BD38 true [DEVICE]: 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random), AD evt type 5, RSSI -28 Broadcast Audio Source C:0 S:0 D:0 SR:0 E:1 Prim: LE 1M, Secn: LE 2M, Interval: 0x03c0 (1200000 us), SID: 0x0 Found BAP broadcast source with address 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random) and ID 0x05BD38 BASS recv state: src_id 0, addr 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random), sid 0, sync_state 0, encrypt_state 0 [0]: BIS sync 0x0000, metadata_len 0 BASS add source successful BASS recv state: src_id 0, addr 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random), sid 0, sync_state 2, encrypt_state 0 [0]: BIS sync 0x0000, metadata_len 0 BASS recv state: src_id 0, addr 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random), sid 0, sync_state 2, encrypt_state 0 [0]: BIS sync 0x0000, metadata_len 4 Metadata length 2, type 2, data: 0100 Modifying a receive state: -------------------------- .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant mod_src 0 true 0x03c0 0x02 BASS modify source successful BASS recv state: src_id 0, addr 1E:4D:0A:AA:6E:49 (random), sid 0, sync_state 2, encrypt_state 0 [0]: BIS sync 0x0001, metadata_len 4 Metadata length 2, type 2, data: 0100 Supplying a broadcast code: --------------------------- .. code-block:: console uart:~$ bap_broadcast_assistant broadcast_code 0 secretCode Sending broadcast code: 00000000: 73 65 63 72 65 74 43 6f 64 65 00 00 00 00 00 00 |secretCo de....| uart:~$ BASS broadcast code successful
