Supported Targets ESP32

Hands-Free Audio Gateway (HF-AG)

This example is to show how to use the APIs of Hands-Free Audio Gateway (hf_ag) Component and the effects of them by providing a set of commands. You can use this example to communicate with a device that implements Hands-Free Client Role (e.g. a headphone set).

How to use example

Hardware Required

This example is designed to run on commonly available ESP32 development board, e.g. ESP32-DevKitC. To operate this example, it should be connected to a Hands-Free Client running on a Headphone/Headset or on another ESP32 development board loaded with hfp_hf example of ESP-IDF.

Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu:

idf.py menuconfig

Special Configurations for HFP

Data Path

ESP32 HFP supports two types of audio datapath: PCM and HCI.

The default configuration is PCM, if you want to use vHCI you should configure the data path before building and downloading the binary.

  • PCM: To use PCM, audio stream is directed from Bluetooth controller to the specific GPIO pins you set in the demo, and you should link these GPIO pins to a speaker via I2S port. The audio data will not go through the Bluedroid. In menuconfig, you should choose PCM in menuconfig path:

    Component config --> Bluetooth controller --> BR/EDR Sync(SCO/eSCO) default data path --> PCM

    and also

    Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Hands Free/Handset Profile --> audio(SCO) data path --> PCM.

  • vHCI: To use vHCI, audio data stream will be directed from Bluetooth Controller through vHCI on ESP32 and go through the Bluedroid to the Application layer. In menuconfig, you should choose vHCI in menuconfig path:

    Component config --> Bluetooth controller --> BR/EDR Sync(SCO/eSCO) default data path --> HCI

    and also

    Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Hands Free/Handset Profile --> audio(SCO) data path --> HCI.

Codec Choice

ESP32 supports two types of codec for HFP audio data: CVSD and mSBC.

CVSD is the default setting and is also the widely used codec for voice audio. But, mSBC is designed to have a better voice quality through HFP. To select which one is in use, we provide Wide Band Speech item in the menuconfig:

Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Wide Band Speech.

Switching on the Wide Band Speech means that the preferred codec is mSBC, but which one is actually being used also depends on the Data Path configuration.

  • If you choose PCM for datapath, you can only use CVSD and hardware is responsible for the codec job. In the meanwhile, you cannot use mSBC by switching Wide Band Speech on, because the mSBC is implemented in the Bluedroid (Bluetooth Host Stack) by software.

  • If you choose vHCI for datapath with Wide Band Speech on, codec job is done in the Bluedroid and mSBC is being used.

  • If you choose vHCI for datapath with Wide Band Speech off, hardware is responsible for the codec job and CVSD is in use.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board. Then, run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

When you flash and monitor this example, the commands help table prints the following log at the very begining:

Type 'help' to get the list of commands.
Use UP/DOWN arrows to navigate through command history.
Press TAB when typing command name to auto-complete.

Service Level Connection and Disconnection

You can type con to establish a service level connection with HF Unit device and log prints such as:

W (2211) BT_APPL: new conn_srvc id:5, app_id:0
I (2221) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CONNECTION_STATE_EVT
I (2221) BT_APP_HF: --connection state CONNECTED, peer feats 0x0, chld_feats 0x0
I (2291) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CIND_RESPONSE_EVT
I (2291) BT_APP_HF: --CIND Start.
I (2331) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CONNECTION_STATE_EVT
I (2331) BT_APP_HF: --connection state SLC_CONNECTED, peer feats 0xff, chld_feats 0x4010

Note: Only after Hands-free Profile(HFP) service is initialized and a service level connection exists between an HF Unit and an AG device, could other commands be available.

You can type dis to disconnect with the connected HF Unit device, and log prints such as:

disconnect

W (77381) BT_RFCOMM: RFCOMM_DisconnectInd LCID:0x41

Audio Connection and Disconnection

You can type cona to establish the audio connection between HF Unit and AG device. Also, you can type disa to close the audio data stream.

Scenarios for Audio Connection

  • Answer an incoming call
  • Enable voice recognition
  • Dial an outgoing call

Scenarios for Audio Disconnection

  • Reject an incoming call
  • Disable the voice recognition

Choice of Codec

ESP32 supports both CVSD and mSBC codec. HF Unit and AG device determine which codec to use by exchanging features during service level connection. The choice of codec also depends on the your configuration in menuconfig.

Since CVSD is the default codec in HFP, we just show the scenarios using mSBC:

  • If you enable BT_HFP_WBS_ENABLE in menuconfig, mSBC will be available.
  • If both HF Unit and AG support mSBC and BT_HFP_WBS_ENABLE is enabled, ESP32 chooses mSBC.
  • If you use PCM data path, mSBC is not available.

You can type iron to enable the in-band ring tone and type iroff to disable it. The log on the AG side prints such as Device Indicator Changed! and on HF Unit side it prints such as:

E (19546) BT_HF: APP HFP event: IN-BAND_RING_TONE_EVT
E (19556) BT_HF: --in-band ring state Provided

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problems, please check if the following rules are followed:

  • You should type the command in the terminal according to the format described in the commands help table.
  • Not all commands in the table are supported by the HF Unit.
  • If you want to hf con; to establish a service level connection with a specific HF Unit, you should add the MAC address of the HF Unit in app_hf_msg_set.c for example: esp_bd_addr_t peer_addr = {0xb4, 0xe6, 0x2d, 0xeb, 0x09, 0x93};
  • Use esp_hf_client_register_callback() and esp_hf_client_init(); before establishing a service level connection.

Example Breakdown

Due to the complexity of the HFP, this example has more source files than other bluetooth examples. To show the functions of HFP in a simple way, we use the Commands and Effects scheme to illustrate APIs of the HFP in ESP-IDF.

  • The example will respond to user command through the UART console. Please go to console_uart.c for the configuration details.
  • For the voice interface, ESP32 has provided PCM input/output signals which can be directed to GPIO pins. So, please go to gpio_pcm_config.c for the configuration details.
  • If you want to update the command table, please refer to app_hf_msg_set.c.
  • If you want to update the responses of the AG or want to update the log, please refer to bt_app_hf.c.
  • The task configuration part is in bt_app_core.c.
