bt_hci_core: No ID address. App must call settings_load()

[simon8]

Hi, i'm trying to modify the thread coap_server sample by adding bluetooth configurationg following this webinar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY_tDext6zA&t=2199s

I'm facing with this log error message: bt_hci_core: No ID address. App must call settings_load() that it doesn't permit the enabling of the bluetooh.

how can i fix it?

this is th log file:

Hi Simon,

Our Coap Client sample has multiprotocol support.

Before I start debugging your issue, could you compare your Coap Server with this Coap Client?

Hopefully you can find some inspiration from the Coap Client to help you fix this issue.

Sigurd Hellesvik

yes i've done this yet... I tried to add this part of code:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SETTINGS)) {

        settings_load();

    }

after the bt_enable function in ble.c file, but it seems it doesn't work

this is what it returns in logs:

Hi,

I copied all Bluetooth Low Energy related configurations and files from our Coap Client sample to our Coap Server sample.

The result seems to work fine, I am able to connect to it with both Thread and Bluetooth.

Try this zip file and see if it works for you:

coap_server_multiprotocol.zip

Was there ever a solution to this "No ID address" problem ?

Platform:  //nrf52840 custom pcb//segger base//ble protocol//zephyr//

This error is occurring after adding the following to prj.conj :

================================================

CONFIG_SETTINGS=y

CONFIG_BT_SETTINGS=y

CONFIG_FLASH=y

CONFIG_FLASH_PAGE_LAYOUT=y

CONFIG_FLASH_MAP=y

CONFIG_NVS=y

===============================================

Rather than  settings_load() , is there a settings_store() functionality

to initialize whatever data fields are defined ?

My guess is this functionality is just reading uninitialized memory.

You need to call the function "settings_load()" at the start of your application, as explained in Bluetooth Stack Architecture: Persistent Storage:
"Once enabled, it is the responsibility of the application to call settings_load() after having initialized Bluetooth (using the bt_enable() API)."

When positioned immediately after the bt_enable() call,

the "No ID address" message does still display in the the boot term display,

but then is followed  by an Identity line with a legit number,

so maybe it does work.

===============================================

Try to position settings_load() before bt_enable().
