da14531mod advertisement

Hi Renesas Team,

I am trying to send my beaconing information on every 1hour one sample I am advertising.

Running the timer internally using MCU core, and when time reaches 1 hour then I will enable the RF core beacon activity, advertise the beacon data and disable the RF core and do the process forever without rebooting the device. please suggest the logic.

I am trying this logic in DA14531MOD hostless.

Thanks,

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for posting your question online.

Yes, this is possible with the DA14531MOD.
You can have the following scenario:
You follow the ibeacon example and the ble_app_sleepmode example (inside the SDK6).
Note: We also have on Git examples for Eddystone beacon.
You can start a timer (i.e. for 5seconds), start advertising, after 5 seconds the timer will expire and we stop advertising.
When we stop advertising you can implement either Extended Sleep without advertising or Deep Sleep.
In both cases you can have RTC configured in order to set an interrupt after 1 hour. After 1 hour repeat.
Please refer on our SDK6 examples and the Tutorials on the DA14531 product page for more information.

Hi Renesas,

Thanks for your response.

I did the same and implemented the ibeacon logic and testing for every 30 secs for testing wise.

Attached the code is working and sending for every 30 secs and after 15 minutes the device is getting rebooted.

My logic is here initially the device is in connectable mode --> once i configure all the GATT services to disconnect it goes in

non-connectable mode and starts running the timer and then it broadcasts the ibeacon advertisements based on timer

30sec given as an example.

But after some 15 minutes the device is getting rebooted. Is there any issue or modifications required under ble stack.

I have attached the code for your reference.

Regards,

Kumar

Hi Renesas,

I tried with the same Firmware shared which is working for me. Find the snapshot for your reference. Download from the below link:

https://we.tl/t-oY90HIeNCH

Step#1 -> Click nRF Connect android app à Enable Bluetooth -à Enable Location

Step#2 -> Scan and check the device shows like BlackBox -- > Before connecting check Bonded or Not. If already bonded please click ---> “Delete bond information” (click this option at right connect 3 dots). Once it delete it shows NOT BONDED

Step#3 -> Now click on ---> Connect ----> try to read last service /characteristic (xxxx000002a19) click ---> it will ask Bluetooth pairing request ----> Enter the your password PIN as :: 177408 ---> If it PIN correct it read the characteristics values >>> NOTE >>> If you are not entering within 15 sec PIN then it will repeat the Step#3 until it success.

Step#4 -> Now click on ---> DISCONNECT ----> Close the MAC tab ----> click / go to SCANNER ---> Refresh ---> You will see Black Box (Non-connectable) ---> It shows BLE information ----> Ery 30sec iBeacon advertisement displayed.

And the below serial print logs can be seen.

Hi Kumar,

Apologies for the delay.
I re-checked your project and I could see the device going into non-connectable advertising.
I tested it with the Dev Kit Pro and let is run for over 30 minutes while monitoring from the Power Profiler. The project did not crash.
Are you witnessing this forced reset on the custom board or in the Dev Kit?
I would suggest you use the CFG_USE_HEAP_LOG macro and try to get the Heap usage after 20-25minutes of device running.
For SDK v6.0.20

/****************************************************************************************************************/
/* Function patch for heap logging.                                                                             */
/*                                                                                                              */
/* Macro:                                                                                                       */
/* CFG_USE_HEAP_LOG                                                                                             */
/*                                                                                                              */

For your SDK version please check da1458x_config_basic.h file.

Hi Renesas,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I am using a custom board with SDK v6.0.16.

As you suggested, I called the macro in #define CFG_USE_HEAP_LOG in "da1458x_config_advanced.h".

But after running the device 20-30 minutes the device is getting rebooted.

Please suggest what I should do to overcome this issue.

Regards,

Kumar

Hi Francis,

As a suggestion, you need to check on the parameter initialized during running time. make them been reused instead of applying a new one. Something like ADV data, etc.

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for the reply.

On da1458x_config_advanced.h file:

Define the CFG_LOG_HEAP_USAGE macro and delete the da14531.lib file from the sdk_arch folder.
Then right click on the sdk_arch folder and select:

Navigate to the following path : ...\6.0.16.1144\sdk\platform\system_library\output\Keil_5\da14531_with_heap_logging.lib

Compile and run the project with debugger attached.
On the Keil command window you can type disp_heaplog() and you will get the Heap usage.

Please try this every 1-2 minutes until the device crashes. It would be helpful to see if the Heap Memory is getting increased.

On the da1458x_config_basic.h file, have you undefined the CFG_DEVELOPMENT_DEBUG?

If yes, please define it again and run the project until it crashes. It will store the necessary ARM registers for us to understand where the project has crashed. You will need to attach a debugger and check if it is a NMI or HardFault.

Hi Renesas,

Sure, I will try your suggestions.

The project that i shared with you is defined as a 30-second timer to advertise the iBeacon with that facing issue is that the device is getting rebooted.

I noticed that if I increase the timer to 60 seconds, it is not adverting iBeacon after 60 seconds.

I believe there should be BLE calls that would be different for my logic.the one which I used the calls BLE core is not completely stopping.

As per my logic, is it possible to advertise my ibeacon for every 60sec or 15 minutes, 30minutes etc using your da14531mod.

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for the reply.
If possible share again your project because the link has expired. My apologies but I deleted it from my Downloads folder. I will try to go through the "logic" of the BLE APIs to handle advertising.

Did you check the Heap usage while the project was running?

Hi Renesas,

Thanks for your reply.

I am running in extended sleep mode and can't debug my Keil IDE code. And I am not using a dev kit. I am using a small dialog programming flash tool. I just compile the code and flash the code using a smart snippet tool.

For your reference I have attached the same again. Please download and let me know after that I will disable the link:

I have downloaded the project. You can close the link if you want.
Note: Keep in mind that you can raise a private ticket as well where you can share anything you want.

So you are programming the board via 1-Wire UART?
You do not have access to any J-link Debug probes or other Dev Kits with SWD interface?
You could use Ozone with J-link debug probes and the CFG_DEVELOPMENT_DEBUG macro defined to check where exactly the project crashes.
On my side, I had only tested this with Debugger attached on Keil on the Dev Kit Pro and I could not reproduce the issue.
I will try to flash it on a DA14531MOD DB and wait until it crashes.

Hi Renesas,

Thanks for understanding.

Yes, I am using a 1-wire programming small dialog tool. which does not have any energy profiles or debugging.

Our remote production team has the tool, but they are using the devkit for programming and measuring each board current consumption.

Hi Kumar,

I have been trying to compile the latest project you shared.
Are you able to compile it on your side?
Have you made a custom driver for the Battery? Did you not use the already implemented battery.h , bass.h and bass_task.h files?
When I try to compile:

Have you modified the Scatter file?
It seems that with the Sensor drivers you have inserted you are at the limit of the DA14531 SysRAM and the project can not compile.
Could you please share a pre-compiled version with a binary so we could test it?

Hi Renesas,

Did you load the program in flash mode (Extended sleep) and check. I still the same issue producing.

If you don't mine, could you share your logic as per my requirements and share the source, so that i will and run in my custom board?

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for the reply.

[email protected] said:

From my side, I would create 2 different custom callbacks for non connectable and connectable advertising rather than trying to combine them together on the user_app_adv_start.
Same thing would apply for the following custom callback functions:
.app_on_adv_nonconn_complete = NULL, .app_on_adv_undirect_complete = NULL,

It would be clearer to understand the project if the same callbacks did not apply for both scenarios.

[email protected] said:

I will need some time for this. I will try to make it simple and follow the scenario below:
1) Start Undirect Connectable advertising
2) Connect and Pair
3) Upon disconnection start undirect non-connectable advertising with the ibeacon (Apple beacon) format.
4) Every 30 seconds change the Advertising Data, keep the ibeacon format.
5) Proceed until HW/SW Reset occurs.

Hi Kumar,

Apologies for the delay.
Please find attached the ble_app_security_alertwear.zip file.
I worked on SDK v6.0.16 with the Development Kit Pro and the DA14531MOD Daughterboard.
I followed the steps below:

OV_Renesas said:
1) Start Undirect Connectable advertising
2) Connect and Pair
3) Upon disconnection start undirect non-connectable advertising with the ibeacon (Apple beacon) format.
4) Every 30 seconds change the Advertising Data, keep the ibeacon format.
5) Proceed until HW/SW Reset occurs.

During the update of the Advertising data I only changed the values of Major and Minor on the ibeacon format.
I let it run for over 1 hour without any crash.
Please take it as a reference.

Best Regards,
OV_Renesas
