The protocol is little endian, packet +based, and has the following header for each packet: + +struct tty_hdr { + uint16_t data_len; + uint16_t opcode; + uint8_t flags; + uint8_t hdr_len; + uint8_t ext_hdr[0]; +} __attribute__ ((packed)); + +The actual payload starts at ext_hdr + hdr_len and has the length of +data_len - 4 - hdr_len. Each field of the header is defined as follows: + +data_len: + This is the total length of the entire packet, excuding the + data_len field itself. + +opcode: + The BTSnoop opcode + +flags: + Special flags for the packet. Currently no flags are defined. + +hdr_len: + Length of the extended header. + +ext_hdr: + This is a sequence of header extension fields formatted as: + + struct { + uint8_t type; + uint8_t value[length]; + } + + The length of the value is dependent on the type. Currently the + following types are defined: + + Type Length Meaning + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + 1 Command drops 1 byte Dropped HCI command packets + 2 Event drops 1 byte Dropped HCI event packets + 3 ACL TX drops 1 byte Dropped ACL TX packets + 4 ACL RX drops 1 byte Dropped ACL RX packets + 5 SCO TX drops 1 byte Dropped SCO TX packets + 6 SCO RX drops 1 byte Dropped SCO RX packets + 7 Other drops 1 byte Dropped other packets + 8 32-bit timestamp 4 bytes Timestamp in 1/10th ms + + The fields of the extended header must be sorted by increasing + type. This is essential so that unknown types can be ignored and + the parser can jump to processing the payload. |
