I am getting a bt_hci_core: HCI driver open failed (-11) with a custom board using nrfConnect for VS Code and 2.9.1 toolchain/sdk.
The code is really simple (I'm not using the callback for simplicity):
#define DEVICE_NAME CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME
#define DEVICE_NAME_LEN (sizeof(DEVICE_NAME) - 1)
static const struct bt_data ad[] = {
BT_DATA_BYTES(BT_DATA_FLAGS, BT_LE_AD_NO_BREDR),
BT_DATA(BT_DATA_NAME_COMPLETE, DEVICE_NAME, DEVICE_NAME_LEN),
};
bool ble_ready = false;
void bt_ready(int err) {
if (err) {
LOG_ERR("Bluetooth initialization failed (err %d)", err);
return;
}
LOG_DBG("Bluetooth initialized successfully");
ble_ready = true;
// Add your service initialization code here
// For example, register GATT services, characteristics, etc.
}
//create a service
int ble_service_init(void)
{
int rc = 0;
// Initialize Bluetooth
rc = bt_enable(NULL);
if (rc) {
LOG_ERR("Bluetooth init failed (err %d)", rc);
return rc;
}
LOG_INF("Bluetooth initialized successfully");
// Add your service initialization code here
// For example, register GATT services, characteristics, etc.
return rc;
}
I have this call in main before the loop:
ble_service_init();
I have this in the prj.conf:
CONFIG_BT=y CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL=y CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME="BLE Test" CONFIG_BT_LOG_LEVEL_DBG=y
I also have a sysbuild.conf with:
SB_CONFIG_NETCORE_HCI_IPC=y
Error log:
00> [00:00:00.252,349] <dbg> bt_hci_driver: bt_ipc_open: 00> [00:00:01.253,356] <err> bt_hci_driver: Endpoint binding failed with -11 00> [00:00:01.253,387] <err> bt_hci_core: HCI driver open failed (-11) 00> [00:00:01.253,387] <err> ble_service: Bluetooth init failed (err -11)
I read these but they didn't really help:
- NCS HCI driver open failed (-11) - I am using nrfConnect for VS code and hitting the "flash" button
- *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.1.0-2256-gdddb5dd6b0de *** Starting Beacon Demo Bluetooth init failed (err -11) [00:00:01.262,176] bt_hci_driver: Endpoint binding failed with -11 [00:00:01.262,207] bt_hci_core: HCI driver open failed (-1 - I've been through the DevAcademy and have had this running on dk's and even on the custom board at one point
- Bluetooth initialization fails - bt_hci_core driver open fails with error -11 - This one is interesting. Don't know about all the clock pieces and don't remember setting this up on any other device
