Failed to create ID on LE-Audio DK

[Gerry]

Hi Nordic team

According to this post I eliminated all calls to cs47l63, ina231 max14690 pmic in order to migrate the project to my custom hardware.

After that I get the following log on both the audio DK and on my custom hardware:

HR [00:00:00.001,129] <inf> audio_sync_timer: Audio sync timer initialized

settings_load() is called in main - on_ble_core_ready()

"ble: Failed to create ID" confuses me. However, the service is visible on nRF Connect.

Streaming starts on the Audio DK

On my custom hardware strm_state in streamctr.c is always STATE_PAUSED

even when I call this custom function in streamctr.c

int stream_run(void)
{
	int ret;

	if (strm_state == STATE_PAUSED) {
		ret = le_audio_play();
		if (ret) {
			LOG_WRN("Failed to start playing");
		}
		return ret;
	}
	return 0;
}

What am I doing wrong here?

Kind regards

Hello Gerry,

Are you able to share your project here or in a private support ticket so I can try to debug it here?

Kind regards,

Vidar

Hello Vidar

Thanks for your reply.

I attached the project. The code runs on the audio DK (AUDIO_DK = true; in main.c)

test_klaud.zip

kind regards,

Gerry

Hello Gerry,

The bt_id_create() is used to change the default address, but it fails with -EINVAL because the IRK pointer is set to NULL. I'm currently checking with the team to understand if it is necessary to change the address here or if we can use the default address assigned by the stack.

With regards to the streaming state being stuck at 'STATE_PAUSED': did you check first if the gateway was able to establish a connection with your device? The log you posted just shows that it is advertising waiting for someone to connect.

Kind regards,

Vidar

Thanks Vidar, I really appreciate your help.

The connected_cb in le_audio_headset.c is called and has no errors. Anyhow the gateway shows no active connection (blue LED)

Also in the log of the headset there are no further entries later, when the device should be connected.

kind regards

Hi Gerry,

For me, the logging continued after the connection was made. Below is the hex file I built from the project you sent. Could you please program this to your board and see if you still get the same result (i.e. no logs after connection)?

7103.zephyr.hex

Also, the error from bt_id_create() was fixed by this commit: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/commit/edbf678dc8342d0e6d7f77d32d9f633acd219379

Hi Vidar

Thanks for your help.

On the debug uart I can also see cis_headset Connected now. I think I just missed the connected logentry on RTT.

The id_error disapeared with your fix, thanks for that.

The log now looks clean to me. when I press the Playbutton on the headset, the log shows: streamctrl: Playing stream. Nevertheless, strm_state in streamctrl.c always stays on STATE_PAUSED. Do you also see this behaviour?

kind regards

Hi Gerry,

I am sorry for the delay. I have not been able to spend time on debugging your application to figure out why the streaming state does not get updated. Have you made any progress on this in the meantime? 

Kind regards,

Vidar

Hi Vidar, 

I spent a lot of time debuging but still no stream on I2s and the state is not changing.

Would be great, if you find some time to find out, whats going wrong here.

Kind regards

Gerry
