Bluetooth Management API ************************* Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Marcel Holtmann This document describes the format of data used for communicating with the kernel using a so-called Bluetooth Management sockets. These sockets are available starting with Linux kernel version 3.4, and can be created by setting the hci_channel member of struct sockaddr_hci to HCI_CHANNEL_CONTROL (3) when creating a raw HCI socket. In C the needed code would look something like the following: int mgmt_create(void) { struct sockaddr_hci addr; int fd; fd = socket(PF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_RAW | SOCK_CLOEXEC | SOCK_NONBLOCK, BTPROTO_HCI); if (fd < 0) return -errno; memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); addr.hci_family = AF_BLUETOOTH; addr.hci_dev = HCI_DEV_NONE; addr.hci_channel = HCI_CHANNEL_CONTROL; if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) { int err = -errno; close(fd); return err; } return fd; } The process creating the mgmt socket is required to have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (e.g. root would have this).

If discoverable setting is activated with a timeout, then switching the controller off will expire this timeout and disable discoverable. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Set Discoverable Command ======================== Command Code: 0x0006 Controller Index: Command Parameters: Discoverable (1 Octet) Timeout (2 Octets) Return Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This command is used to set the discoverable property of a controller. The allowed Discoverable command parameter values are 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02. All other values will return Invalid Parameters. Timeout is the time in seconds and is only meaningful when Discoverable is set to 0x01 or 0x02. Providing a timeout with 0x00 return Invalid Parameters. For 0x02, the timeout value is required. The value 0x00 disables discoverable, the value 0x01 enables general discoverable and the value 0x02 enables limited discoverable. This command is only available for BR/EDR capable controllers (e.g. not for single-mode LE ones). It will return Not Supported otherwise. This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. However using a timeout when the controller is not powered will return Not Powered error. When switching discoverable on and the connectable setting is off it will return Rejected error. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Rejected Not Supported Invalid Parameters Not Powered Invalid Index Set Connectable Command ======================= Command Code: 0x0007 Controller Index: Command Parameters: Connectable (1 Octet) Return Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This command is used to set the connectable property of a controller.

For BR/EDR is changes the page scan setting and for LE controllers it changes the advertising type. For dual mode controllers it affects both settings. For LE capable controllers the connectable setting only takes affect when advertising is enabled. This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. When switching connectable off, it will also switch off the discoverable setting. Switching connectable back on will not restore a previous discoverable. It will stay off and needs to be manually switched back on. When switching connectable off, it will expire a discoverable setting with a timeout. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Not Supported Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Set Fast Connectable Command ============================ Command Code: 0x0008 Controller Index: Command Parameters: Enable (1 Octet) Return Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This command is used to set the controller into a connectable state where the page scan parameters have been set in a way to favor faster connect times with the expense of higher power consumption. The allowed values of the Enable command parameter are 0x00 and 0x01. All other values will return Invalid Parameters. This command is only available for BR/EDR capable controllers (e.g. not for single-mode LE ones). It will return Not Supported otherwise. This command can only be used when the controller is powered on and will return Not Powerd otherwise. If connectable is not set, then this command will fail with Rejected error. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Failed Busy Rejected Not Supported Invalid Parameters Not Powered Invalid Index Set Pairable Command ==================== Command Code: 0x0009 Controller Index: Command Parameters: Pairable (1 Octet) Return Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This command is used to set the pairable property of an controller. The allowed values for the Pairable command parameter are 0x00 and 0x01. All other values will return Invalid Parameters. This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. Turning pairable on will not automatically switch the controller into connectable mode. That needs to be done separately. The setting will be remembered during power down/up toggles. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Set Link Security Command ========================= Command Code: 0x000A Controller Index: Command Parameters: Link_Security (1 Octet) Return Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This command is used to either enable or disable link level security for an controller (also known as Security Mode 3).

This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Not Supported Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Set Device Class ================ Command Code: 0x000E Controller Index: Command Parameters: Major_Class (1 Octet) Minor_Class (1 Octet) Return Parameters: Class_Of_Device (3 Octets) This command is used to set the major and minor device class for BR/EDR capable controllers. This command will also implicitly disable caching of pending CoD and EIR updates. This command is only available for BR/EDR capable controllers (e.g. not for single-mode LE ones). This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. In case the controller is powered off, 0x000000 will be returned for the class of device parameter. And after power on the new value will be announced via class of device changed event. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Not Supported Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Set Local Name Command ====================== Command Code: 0x000F Controller Index: Command Parameters: Name (249 Octets) Short_Name (11 Octets) Return Parameters: Name (249 Octets) Short_Name (11 Octets) This command is used to set the local name of a controller. The command parameters also include a short name which will be used in case the full name doesn't fit within EIR/AD data. The name parameters need to always end with a null byte (failure to do so will cause the command to fail). This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. The values of name and short name will be remembered when switching the controller off and back on again. So the name and short name only have to be set once when a new controller is found and will stay until removed.

This command can be used when the controller is not powered and all settings will be programmed once powered. In case the controller does not support Secure Connections the command will fail regardless with Not Supported error. This command generates a Command Complete event on success or a Command Status event on failure. Possible errors: Busy Not Supported Invalid Parameters Invalid Index Command Complete Event ====================== Event Code 0x0001 Controller Index: or Event Parameters Command_Opcode (2 Octets) Status (1 Octet) Return_Parameters This event is an indication that a command has completed. The fixed set of parameters includes the opcode to identify the command that completed as well as a status value to indicate success or failure. The rest of the parameters are command specific and documented in the section for each command separately. Command Status Event ==================== Event Code 0x0002 Controller Index: or Event Parameters Command_Opcode (2 Octets) Status (1 Octet) The command status event is used to indicate an early status for a pending command. In the case that the status indicates failure (anything else except success status) this also means that the command has finished executing. Controller Error Event ====================== Event Code 0x0003 Controller Index: Event Parameters Error_Code (1 Octet) This event maps straight to the HCI Hardware Error event and is used to indicate something wrong with the controller hardware. Index Added Event ================= Event Code 0x0004 Controller Index: Event Parameters This event indicates that a new controller has been added to the system. It is usually followed by a Read Controller Information command. Index Removed Event =================== Event Code 0x0005 Controller Index: Event Parameters This event indicates that a controller has been removed from the system. New Settings Event ================== Event Code 0x0006 Controller Index: Event Parameters: Current_Settings (4 Octets) This event indicates that one or more of the settings for a controller has changed. Class Of Device Changed Event ============================= Event Code 0x0007 Controller Index: Event Parameters: Class_Of_Device (3 Octets) This event indicates that the Class of Device value for the controller has changed. When the controller is powered off the Class of Device value will always be reported as zero. Local Name Changed Event ======================== Event Code 0x0008 Controller Index Event Parameters Name (249 Octets) Short_Name (11 Octets) This event indicates that the local name of the controller has changed. New Link Key Event ================== Event Code 0x0009 Controller Index: Event Parametersa Store_Hint (1 Octet) Key { Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Key_Type (1 Octet) Value (16 Octets) PIN_Length (1 Octet) } This event indicates that a new link key has bee generated for a remote device. The Store_Hint parameter indicates whether the host is expected to store the key persistently or not (e.g. this would not be set if the authentication requirement was "No Bonding"). New Long Term Key Event ======================= Event Code 0x000A Controller Index Event Parameters Store_Hint (1 Octet) Key { Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Authenticated (1 Octet) Master (1 Octet) Encryption Size (1 Octet) Enc. Diversifier (2 Octets) Random Number (8 Octets) Value (16 Octets) } This event indicates that a new long term key has bee generated for a remote device. The Store_Hint parameter indicates whether the host is expected to store the key persistently or not (e.g. this would not be set if the authentication requirement was "No Bonding"). Device Connected Event ====================== Event Code 0x000B Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Flags (4 Octets) EIR_Data_Length (2 Octets) EIR_Data (0-65535 Octets) Possible values for the Address_Type parameter: 0 BR/EDR 1 LE Public 2 LE Random The following bits are defined for the Flags parameter: 0 Reserved (not in use) 1 Legacy Pairing This event indicates that a successful baseband connection has been created to the remote device. Device Disconnected Event ========================= Event Code 0x000C Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Reason (1 Octet) This event indicates that the baseband connection was lost to a remote device. Possible values for the Address_Type parameter: 0 BR/EDR 1 LE Public 2 LE Random Possible values for the Reason parameter: 0 Unspecified 1 Connection timeout 2 Connection terminated by local host 3 Connection terminated by remote host Note that the local/remote distinction just determines which side terminated the low-level connection, regardless of the disconnection of the higher-level profiles. This can sometimes be misleading and thus must be used with care. For example, some hardware combinations would report a locally initiated disconnection even if the user turned Bluetooth off in the remote side. Connect Failed Event ==================== Event Code 0x000D Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Status (1 Octet) This event indicates that a connection attempt failed to a remote device. Possible values for the Address_Type parameter: 0 BR/EDR 1 LE Public 2 LE Random PIN Code Request Event ====================== Event Code 0x000E Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Secure (1 Octet) This event is used to request a PIN Code reply from user space. The reply should either be returned using the PIN Code Reply or the PIN Code Negative Reply command. Secure: 0x01 secure PIN code required 0x00 secure PIN code not required User Confirmation Request Event =============================== Event Code 0x000F Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Confirm_Hint (1 Octet) Value (4 Octets) This event is used to request a user confirmation request from user space. If the Confirm_Hint parameter value is 0x01 this means that a simple "Yes/No" confirmation should be presented to the user instead of a full numerical confirmation (in which case the parameter value will be 0x00). User space should respond to this command either using the User Confirmation Reply or the User Confirmation Negative Reply command. User Passkey Request Event ========================== Event Code 0x0010 Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) This event is used to request a passkey from user space. The response to this event should either be the User Passkey Reply command or the User Passkey Negative Reply command. Authentication Failed Event =========================== Event Code 0x0011 Controller Index: Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Status (1 Octet) This event indicates that there was an authentication failure with a remote device. Device Found Event ================== Event Code 0x0012 Controller Index Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) RSSI (1 Octet) Flags (4 Octets) EIR_Data_Length (2 Octets) EIR_Data (0-65535 Octets) This event indicates that a device was found during device discovery. Possible values for the Address_Type parameter: 0 BR/EDR 1 LE Public 2 LE Random The following bits are defined for the Flags parameter: 0 Confirm name 1 Legacy Pairing The Confirm name flag indicates that the kernel wants to know whether user space knows the name for this device or not. If this flag is set user space should respond to it using the Confirm Name command. The Legacy Pairing flag indicates that Legacy Pairing is likely to occur when pairing with this device. An application could use this information to optimize the pairing process by locally pre-generating a PIN code and thereby eliminate the risk of local input timeout when pairing. Note that there is a risk of false-positives for this flag so user space should be able to handle getting something else as a PIN Request when pairing. Discovering Event ================= Event Code 0x0013 Controller Index Event Parameters Address_Type (1 Octet) Discovering (1 Octet) This event indicates that the controller has started discovering devices. This discovering state can come and go multiple times between a StartDiscover and a StopDiscovery command. The valid values for the Discovering parameter are 0x01 (enabled) and 0x00 (disabled). Device Blocked Event ==================== Event Code 0x0014 Controller Index Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) This event indicates that a device has been blocked using the Block Device command. The event will only be sent to Management sockets other than the one through which the command was sent. Device Unblocked Event ====================== Event Code 0x0015 Controller Index Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) This event indicates that a device has been unblocked using the Unblock Device command. The event will only be sent to Management sockets other than the one through which the command was sent. Device Unpaired Event ===================== Event Code 0x0016 Controller Index Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) This event indicates that a device has been unpaired (i.e. all its keys have been removed from the kernel) using the Unpair Device command. The event will only be sent to Management sockets other than the one through which the Unpair Device command was sent. Passkey Notify Event ==================== Event Code 0x0017 Controller Index Event Parameters Address (6 Octets) Address_Type (1 Octet) Passkey (4 Octets) Entered (1 Octet) This event is used to request passkey notification to the user. Unlike the other authentication events it does not need responding to using any Management command. The Passkey parameter indicates the passkey to be shown to the user whereas the Entered parameter indicates how many characters the user has entered on the remote side.
