Duplicate HCI Reset When Tearing Down and Re-Creating Transport #476

hkpeprah · 2024-04-26T02:48:02Z

Summary

I am seeing a weird issue where if I tear down a transport, then re-create it, that the device fails to power on. The following example reproduces it. When the second power_on() is invoked, an error is raised (given below), and the attempt fails.

import asyncio
import logging

import bumble.device
import bumble.transport


async def open_transport(transport_name):
    link = await bumble.transport.open_transport_or_link(transport_name)
    dev = bumble.device.Device.with_hci("bumble", "F0:F1:F2:F3:F4:F5", link.source, link.sink)
    await dev.power_on()
    return link, dev


async def close_transport(link, dev):
    await dev.power_off()
    await dev.host.reset()
    await link.close()


async def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
    for _ in range(2):
        link, dev = await open_transport("usb:0a12:0001")
        asyncio.sleep(1)
        await close_transport(link, dev)
    print("Done")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Workaround

I found that adding a second HCI reset command here led to the failure going away: https://github.com/google/bumble/blob/main/bumble/host.py#L239

        # Send a reset command unless a driver has already done so.
        if reset_needed:
            await self.send_command(hci.HCI_Reset_Command(), check_result=True)
	    await self.send_command(hci.HCI_Reset_Command(), check_result=True)
            self.ready = True

Without the second invocation, it always fails. I also found that adding a sleep seems to workaround the issue as well:

        # Send a reset command unless a driver has already done so.
        if reset_needed:
            await self.send_command(hci.HCI_Reset_Command(), check_result=True)
            await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
            self.ready = True

Environment

Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)
Bluetooth Dongle: Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) (0a12:0001)

This also works:

	response = await self.send_command(
            hci.HCI_Read_Local_Supported_Commands_Command(), check_result=True
        )

        if isinstance(response.return_parameters, int):

                hci.HCI_Read_Local_Supported_Commands_Command(), check_result=True
            )

        self.local_supported_commands = int.from_bytes(
            response.return_parameters.supported_commands, 'little'
        )

Changing open_transport() to the following seems to solve my issue:

async def open_transport(transport_name):
    link = await bumble.transport.open_transport_or_link(transport_name)
    dev = bumble.device.Device.with_hci("bumble", "F0:F1:F2:F3:F4:F5", link.source, link.sink)
    await dev.host.send_command(bumble.hci.HCI_Reset_Command(), check_result=True)
    await dev.power_on()
    return link, dev

I can workaround with this for the time being.

This is quite odd. I tried to replicate this on a USB controller, without success (i.e this exact code sequence works fine for me). What's peculiar in your case is that the controller seems to be sending a stale or extra response, so the HCI_READ_LOCAL_SUPPORTED_COMMANDS_COMMAND command gets the a response for HCI_RESET_COMMAND, which of course won't work.
It's also puzzling that if you reset twice (as in your workaround above, where you have an explicit reset before power_on, which has its own reset), you don't get this behavior anymore.
I'll try with different USB controllers to see if I can replicate this problem on one of them. If not, I'll try to find the same controller as the one you're using.

barbibulle · 2024-04-27T10:20:45Z

Followup: I did find a USB dongle that identifies with the same USB identifiers (0a12:0001). It may be a from a different manufacturer (mine reports the product name to be USB2.0-BT, the HCI-level info says Barrot Technology Co.,Ltd, and the dongle has nothing written on it, so it's hard to tell exactly who made it).
With that dongle, I observe a different issue: from a cold start, it seems to work fine. On a warm start (for example, launching an application a second time after the first one ran and closed the device), it hangs at the USB level (the RESET command is sent, but nothing is every received back from the dongle). Exiting out of that state comes back to a working state, and so on. So it works every other time.
I've love to try with more devices, to see if this is just a quirk of my specific no-name-brand device, or a pattern that exists across multiple devices. Do you know which manufacturer/model your USB dongle is?
(I also have the suspicion that the USB identifier 0a12:0001 may be used incorrectly by low-cost USB dongle makers. 0a12 is supposed to be the identifier for Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd, but I'm pretty sure that's not who made the dongle I have)

I also have the suspicion that the USB identifier 0a12:0001 may be used incorrectly by low-cost USB dongle makers. 0a12 is supposed to be the identifier for Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd, but I'm pretty sure that's not who made the dongle I have.

I've seen this with a lot of dongles. I use a TP-Link UB400 on my Mac machine, which also reports its Vendor ID as 0a12 and Product ID as 0001. Oddly enough, the TP-Link UB500 reports its Vendor ID as 2357 (the TP-Link vendor ID).

I think the CSR we have hooked up to the Linux machine is this one from Adafruit, but I'm honestly not sure. It has no markings whatsoever besides CSR 4.0, which a lot of the random ones from Amazon have as well.

Edit: I will double-check to see what the product name is that it reports.

hkpeprah · 2024-04-27T19:46:00Z

The name it reports is CSR BLE.

hkpeprah · 2024-04-29T14:34:35Z

Found another one that is in use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084H8R9PB
This should be the one that results in the double HCI reset being necessary.

I'm seeing a different issue with this BLE 5 dongle on Linux: Edimax (Amazon Link)

This is after tearing down and re-creating the transport, similar to above. Seems to stall in power_on() (I put a limit of 10s for waiting for the call to return):

    await asyncio.wait_for(dev.power_on(), timeout=self.DEFAULT_POWER_ON_TIMEOUT)
  File "/opt/pyenv/versions/3.8.13/lib/python3.8/asyncio/tasks.py", line 501, in wait_for
    raise exceptions.TimeoutError()

I think this controller has a Realtek chip. It may work without firmware loading, but I'd recommend trying to download the Realtek firmware for it, and putting it in a place where the Bumble library can find it and load it (see https://google.github.io/bumble/drivers/realtek.html ). One thing that I've noticed with Realtek-based dongles (as well as others), is that they're not happy when you close the USB connection to them without a reset. But it seems that in your case you are performing a reset before closing, can you confirm? I will get one of those dongles from Amazon and try on my side.

hkpeprah · 2024-05-24T19:09:30Z

I downloaded the drivers from here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/rtl_bt/, and pointed by BUMBLE_RTK_FIRMWARE_DIR environment variable to the directory. I also tried the drivers from the Edimax website: https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/global/download/for_home/wireless_adapters/bluetooth/bt-8500. I modified the script slightly:

import asyncio
import logging
import sys

import bumble.device
import bumble.hci
import bumble.transport


async def open_transport(transport_name):
    link = await bumble.transport.open_transport_or_link(transport_name)
    dev = bumble.device.Device.with_hci("bumble", "F0:F1:F2:F3:F4:F5", link.source, link.sink)
    await dev.power_on()
    return link, dev


async def scan(dev):
    await dev.start_scanning(legacy=True, filter_duplicates=True)
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await dev.stop_scanning(legacy=True)


async def close_transport(link, dev):
    await dev.host.send_command(bumble.hci.HCI_Reset_Command(), check_result=True)
    await dev.power_off()
    await link.close()


async def main(args=None):
    if args is None:
        args = sys.argv[1:]

    transport_name = args[0] if len(args) else "usb:0a12:0001"
    logging.basicConfig(
        level=logging.DEBUG,
        format="[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s %(name)s: %(message)s",
        datefmt="%H:%M:%S"
    )
    for _ in range(10):
        link, dev = await open_transport(transport_name)
        await scan(dev)
        await close_transport(link, dev)
    print("Done")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

But still fails in a similar fashion (using the Edimax):

I did some more debugging, and found that sometimes the result of the HCI reset is something like this:

Where the transfer.getBuffer() is 158 instances of 0x00. The packet data is passed up to on_packet, which calls hci.HCI_Packet.from_bytes() and throws a ValueError:

      return HCI_Event.from_bytes(packet)
    File "/home/ford/github/bumble/bumble/hci.py", line 4732, in from_bytes
      raise ValueError('invalid packet length')

I managed to capture two of the packets I saw after an HCI reset command:
