Use External host with NRF5340dk as le audio controller

[Abhinav152]

Hi,
I have been trying to use my esp host mcu with nrf5340dk as a controller.I am using the hci_uart application with CONFIG_BT_LL_ACS_NRF53 =y to include le audio support as a controller. The issue is that I am getting an unknown hci command error on the host when I try to send a command to nrf5340dk. 

Below is my Proj.conf file 

CONFIG_CONSOLE=n

CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=n

CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=n

CONFIG_GPIO=y

CONFIG_SERIAL=y

CONFIG_UART_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN=y

CONFIG_BT=y

CONFIG_BT_HCI_RAW=y

CONFIG_BT_HCI_RAW_H4=y

CONFIG_BT_HCI_RAW_H4_ENABLE=y

CONFIG_BT_BUF_ACL_RX_SIZE=255

CONFIG_BT_BUF_CMD_TX_SIZE=255

CONFIG_BT_BUF_EVT_DISCARDABLE_SIZE=255

CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ASSERT_HANDLER=y

CONFIG_BT_MAX_CONN=16

CONFIG_BT_TINYCRYPT_ECC=n

CONFIG_BT_CTLR_DTM_HCI=y

CONFIG_BT_LL_ACS_NRF53=y

CONFIG_SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_STACK_SIZE=512

Below is my cup app.overlay file

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 */

&uart0 {

current-speed = <115200>;

status = "okay";

};

&uart0_default {

group1 {

psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_TX, 0, 26)>,

<NRF_PSEL(UART_RTS, 0, 5)>;

};

group2 {

psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_RX, 0, 8)>,

<NRF_PSEL(UART_CTS, 0, 7)>;

bias-pull-up;

};

};

I am quite uncertain about whether I can use the NRf5340dk board for this or the NRf5340dk audio kit.

Feel free to ask for necessary information to provide support. Thanks in advance

Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for suggesting the code 

#if defined(CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ISO_TX_BUFFERS)
    cmds->hci_le_read_buffer_size_v2 = 1;
    cmds->hci_le_read_iso_tx_sync = 1;
    cmds->hci_le_iso_transmit_test = 1;
#endif

This helps in finding the file name hci_internal.c which has all commands under different flags. So enabling those flags will make nrf5340dk  usable to iso commands as well.

file path : nrf/subsys/bluetooth/controller
