Hello Nordic Team,
I am having issues with the HCI UART firmware for the nRF52840 on the Thingy91. I have been using the HCI UART firmware from nRF Connect SDK 1.0.0 for some time but recently I ported over the changes from nRF Connect SDK 1.3.0 and I have since ran into issues.
My application is similar to the LTE BLE Gateway application in that I am using the nRF52840 as a bluetooth controller to scan for nearby bluetooth devices. I have also used the patches provided by Sigurd on the following ticket: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/52689/nrf9160-lte-sensor-gateway-on-thingy-91/230300#230300 to support this on the Thingy91.
With the nRF Connect SDK v1.0.0 HCI UART firmware, I would occasionally see the following from the RTT logging on the nRF9160:
00> [00:16:23.539,947] <wrn> bt_driver: Discarding event 0x3e
but now with the nRF Connect SDK v1.3.0 HCI UART firmware, I get a bunch of these types of messages printed out (in addition to the message above):
00> [00:17:13.480,102] <err> bt_driver: Not enough space in buffer
00> [00:17:14.016,693] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0x49
00> [00:17:14.017,028] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0x0e
00> [00:17:14.017,364] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0x2f
00> [00:17:14.017,669] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0x6e
00> [00:17:14.018,005] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0xec
00> [00:17:14.018,341] <err> bt_driver: Unknown H:4 type 0x1e
00> [00:16:29.435,485] <wrn> bt_hci_core: Unhandled event 0x01 len 41: 0301da972fdf98fa1e02010403039afe16169afe1181820179ececd817b280e2e31edd480ac101bc04
The behavior of the firmware is also affected - usually after the "Unhandled event" message as seen above, the bluetooth scan will be provide no results for 30-60 seconds before it recovers. This differs from the nRF Connect SDK v1.0.0 HCI UART firmware, as the bluetooth scan would still provide results regardless of the "Discarded event" message.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Cody
