2018-10-08qt-ble: add 'get_name()' function to expose the BLE name to libdivecomputerGravatar Linus Torvalds
Some divecomputer backends (ok, right now really only the Aqualung i770R and i300C) want to know the bluetooth name of the dive computer they connect to, because the name contains identifying information like the serial number. This just adds the support for that to our Qt BLE code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-10-06qt-ble: add support for libdivecomputer 'set_timeout()' functionGravatar Linus Torvalds
Because some BLE operations can be very slow (device and service discovery etc), we have some rather excessive default timeout for BLE (currently set to 12 seconds). But once we actually have started doing IO, that long timeout can be a big performance problem, when the libdivecomputer backend has support for retry and packet loss. For that reason, libdivecomputer has a 'set_timeout()' function that allows the divecomputer backend to say how quickly it expects the dive computer to answer before the backend will start resending packets. Let's just implement that for the actual IO side of BLE too. The default timeout value remains the general BLE timeout, and this only affects the actual IO phase, but it improves things enormously for the case where there is packet loss at that point. For example, on the Aqualung i770R, the timeout for packet loss ends up now being just one second rather than the full 12 seconds of default BLE timeout. Which gets the retry going much faster.

2018-10-06qt-ble: add support to wait for descriptor write completionGravatar Linus Torvalds
When we enable notifications, we actually want to make sure to wait for that write to have completed before we start communicating with the device, because otherwise we might lose notification events. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-10-06qt-ble: move basic uuid filtering back to service discoveryGravatar Linus Torvalds
In commit 30fb7bf35c9e ("qt-ble: set up infrastructure for better preferred service choice") I moved the service filtering from the addService() callback into the "select_preferred_service()" function that picks the right service for the device. That was nice for debugging, since it meant that we showed the details of _all_ services, but it also meant that we ended up starting service discovery on _all_ services, whether they looked at all interesting or not. And that can make the BLE device discovery process quite a bit slower. The debugging advantage is real, but honestly, service discovery can generally be better done with specialized tools like the Nordic nRF app, so the debugging advantage of just listing all the details of all the services is not really worth the discovery slowdown in general. So move the basic "filter by uuid" back to the service discovery phase, and don't bother starting service detail discovery for the services that we can dismiss immediately just based on the service UUID.

2018-09-26qt-ble: allow reading of partial packet dataGravatar Linus Torvalds
The existing BLE dive computers treat BLE as the packetized protocol it is, and read whole packets at a time. However, the Mares BlueLink backend treats it as just a basic "serial over BLE" transport, and for historical reasons reads the reply packets in smaller chunks. This allows that kind of IO behavior, where if the divecomputer backend reads just a part of a packet, we'll split the packet, return the part the user asked for, and push back the leftover packet onto the received packet queue. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-09-25qt-ble: add BLE packet debugging codeGravatar Linus Torvalds
This is perhaps overly verbose, but the timing details helped figure out some EON Core download issues, and it's nice to see when things actually happen. It's also good to see when the data actually enters our queues, and when we read and write the packets. That might help debug the issues Fabio is seeing with the Mares Bluelink.

2018-09-25qt-ble: only connect the signals to the preferred serviceGravatar Linus Torvalds
We used to just find all services and connect the characteristics change signal etc to them all, but we really only care about the actual preferred service that we'll be using. So move the qt ble signal connection to after we've selected the preferred service that we will actually be enabling notifications on and do the writes to. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-09-24qt-ble: re-organize how we pick the GATT characteristics to read and writeGravatar Linus Torvalds
We used to just blindly pick "first" and "last" characteristic from the preferred service, and that was stupid but happened to work for the dive computers we supported. Note that for some of them, "first" and "last" was actually the *same* characteristic, since it could be a single one that supported both. However, this first/last hack definitely doesn't work for the Mares BlueLink BLE dongle, and it's really all pretty wrong anyway. So re-organize the code to actually look at the properties of the characteristics. I don't have a BlueLink to test with, but my EON Core and Shearwater Perdix AI are still happy with this, and the code conceptually makes a lot more sense. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-09-23qt-ble: set up infrastructure for better preferred service choiceGravatar Linus Torvalds
We used to just pick the first non-standard service we found (with a special case for the Heinrichs Weikamp dive computers that have an actual registered standard service). We then waited for that service to finish discovery, and started using it. This changes the logic to wait for _all_ services to finish discovery, and then after that we pick the one we like best. Right now the rule for picking a preferred service is the same one we had before, but the difference is that we now have the full discovery data, so we *could* do something better. Plus this makes our debug messages a lot more legible, when we don't have the mix of overlapping service discovery with the actual IO we do to the preferred service. NOTE! This doesn't much matter for most of the dive computers that we currently support BLE for. They don't tend to have a lot of odd services. But at least both the Mares BlueLink and the Garmin Descent both have multiple services and it's not obvious which one to use, and this will make it not only easier to debug those, it will make it easier to pick the right preferred service descriptor to use.

2018-09-23qt-ble: use the WAITFOR() macro rather than open-coding wait loopsGravatar Linus Torvalds
This is not only much clearer (and smaller code), but it also lowers the latency for the waiting, since we don't always wait for the full 100ms. Get rid of the now unused "waitfor()" function that just unconditionally waited for 100ms. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-09-06Garmin devices - like Shearwater - want random BLE addressingGravatar Linus Torvalds
We had a special-case for the Shearwater case, let's just make it slightly more generic and add Garmin to the list of vendors that want a random BLE address rather than a static one. The Bluez model of having to state this explicitly - but not giving the information to the user - is completely broken and this is all very annoying, credit goes to Wojciech Więckowski for pointing this out. Of course, right now we don't actually know how to parse the BLE stream from the Garmin Descent, but with this (and some libdivecomputer hackery) I actually get connected and start receiving data. That we then can't parse, but that's hopefully just a libdivecomputer update away.

2018-06-20qt-ble: improve responsiveness of waiting for bluetooth dataGravatar Linus Torvalds
Our model of waiting for 100ms before re-checking if we got a packet over BLE resulted in potentially horrendously bad latency for received packets. That isn't just a possible performance issue, it actually seems to cause IO errors with my Suunto EON Core. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might simply be some timing interaction, particularly since the IO errors seemed to primarily happen when the dive computer itself was also busy updating the screen (ie if you pressed buttons on the dive computer to switch to compass mode, for example). So replace the silly hardcoded 100ms "waitFor()" function with a WAITFOR() macro that checks the provided expression every time through the loop, which gets us a much lower latency (we basically check every ten milliseconds). The macro is not beautiful, but it WorksForMe(tm). This makes a huge difference to the reliability of the download for me, and might matter for some other dive computers too.

2018-04-24Convert our custom IO model to new libdivecomputer IO modelGravatar Linus Torvalds
This converts our old custom IO model to the new model that libdivecomputer introduced. This is partly based on Jef's rough patch to make things build, with further work by me. The FTDI code is temporarily disabled here, because it will need to be integrated with the new way of opening devices. The ble_serial code goes away entirely, since now libdivecomputer knows about BLE transport natively, and doesn't need to have any serial wrapper around it.

2018-02-26Cleanup: Use QString as parameter for [get|save]BtDeviceInfo()Gravatar Berthold Stoeger

Remove these conversions by taking a reference to QString directly. getBtDeviceInfo() is not as clear. Here, the callsite has a C-string handed down from libdivecomputer. Nevertheless, pass a reference of QString here as well. Firstly, for reasons of symmetry. Secondly, to avoid multiple conversions in the getBtDeviceInfo() functions.

2017-11-13Better error message on BLE connection timeoutGravatar Berthold Stoeger
On BLE connection timeout a weird error-message was shown, because the controller was still in connecting state and no error string was set. Therefore, handle the timeout case with a special case label. Moreover, remove three unnecessary calls to disconnectFromDevice(), which is called in the destructor of the controller anyway (verified by looking at Qt source).

2017-11-02Fix resource leaks in qt-ble.cppGravatar Berthold Stoeger
1) Destroy QLowEnergyService objects in destructor of BLEObject. 2) Let BLE object take ownership of the controller so that the latter can be destroyed in the destructor of the former. This introduces a certain ownership subtlety, which could be solved by allocating the controller object in the BLE object. But let's first do the less intrusive thing. 3) Destroy the BLE object for two error conditions. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>

2017-07-11BLE read: remove aggressive readGravatar Jan Mulder
Commit 709c1df2af4b87 introduced a hard blocking read for BLE devices. This did break BLE reads from multiple DCs, and (in hindsight) was not a correct implementation. It would require, for example, dynamic read buffers as especially profile data grows with dive time, and in addition, and more importantly, also the OSTC libdc parser cannot process the entire profile of a dive at once (but likes to receive it in 1K blocks). So, basically, it introduced issues, and did not solve the OSTC read. This commit reverts this hard blocking read (and as such will break OSTC BLE reads). But it enables removal of the special cases for the EON Steel and G2. A next commit will solve OSTC BLE reads. Signed-off-by: Jan Mulder <jlmulder@xs4all.nl>
2017-07-11OSTC over BLE: take care of creditsGravatar Jan Mulder
Handle credits. Do not just ask for maximum credits all the time as this will stop the download. Also do not let the credits go back to 0 (while this might work, this is not tested). Getting back the 0 credits stops the download, and even when it can be restarted, it is less efficient (and not needed). Notice also that it takes some time before a grant request is honoured. During testing I saw reception of up to 25 packets between request and grant. So a lower bound for the request of 32 packets seems resonable. One aspect the Telit/Stollmann TIO puzzeled me. Sections 4.1 and 4.2 both talk about credits, but my hyphothesis is that there are two credits counters in play. One for traffic either way. This commit only deals with credits granted by Subsurface to the OSTC to send data. Credits granted by the OSTC to allow Subsurface to send new commands is NOT part of this commit, and is seemingly not needed in our scenario. As we only send new commands to the OSTC when a previous one is finished (per HW's interface spec), the OSTC does not run out of credits to receive commands.

2017-07-04BLE: read until no more data in coming inGravatar Jan Mulder
The current BLE read reads just one 20 bype packet. That packet size is set in ble_serial_ops, so, without being able to test on anything other than a OSTC3, I assume that this holds for other BLE DCs too. So, I think is is weird that those interfaces work with the current read() of just one packet at the time. As we need a blocking read (at least for the OSTC parser), just read all data that is available on the input. And when we think we are done, give the QtEventloop control to see if there is more, and process that incoming data as well. All this basically implements a blocking read. CAVEAT 1: This might break the reading from the currently working BLE devices. CAVEAT 2: With this, I still cannot read the OSTC3 completely. For developers familiar with the HW transfer protocol: it just stops while reading the first full dive (header + profile) command 0x66, despite correctly reading about 5Kb of data before. For some reason, I do not believe that this is related to this commit. CAVEAT 3: All above tested on Linux Desktop with bluez stack, and confirmed NOT to work on Android 7.1.2, build with Qt 5.9.0, And yes, I know 5.9.1 recommended.

2017-07-04OSTC over BLE: filter and track OSTC credit trafficGravatar Jan Mulder
1) As the OSTC sends data to the BLE central role (the SSRF client) over 2 characteristics, we have to filter the administrative credit data from the actual dive data that it received. The characteristcStateChanged function is adapted for this. 2) We have to be sure that the Terminal Client I/O is fully defined during opening the connecton to the OSTC. From 6d505b24f0c15 we can see that the last step in setting up the terminal interface is the grant of credits. This is done by writing to the proper (the only one, with id = 0x2902) descriptor of the credits RX characteristic. The here added slot is triggered on the completion of write of credits marking the final stage of the setup. Signed-off-by: Jan Mulder <jlmulder@xs4all.nl>

2017-07-04OSTC over BLE: Select the right serviceGravatar Jan Mulder
The current "select the correct BLE service to talk to" is flawed. It assumes that the first found non-standard UUID is the right one and apparently it is for some DCs. But not for the HW devices. The HW devices use a "standard" ie. approved by the Bluetooth SIG, controller, that comes with a UUID that our code currently considers standard so not to be the right one. This (simple) commit selects the right service for HW. The UUID is hard coded, and this is ok, because it is tied to the hardware used by HW. Futher, it does not change anything for other BLE devices. Signed-off-by: Jan Mulder <jlmulder@xs4all.nl>
