Bug Description

[Impact]

Without these patches, Bluetooth is inoperable on the recently released Raspberry Pi 400.

[Test Case]

* Boot the Ubuntu Desktop for Pi image on a Pi 400.
* Start the Settings application and switch to the Bluetooth tab
* Verify that Bluetooth is not enabled and attempting to activate it fails
* Enable the -proposed repository for the release (groovy)
* sudo apt update
* sudo apt install bluez
* sudo reboot
* Start the Settings application and switch to the Bluetooth tab
* Verify that Bluetooth is active and that Bluetooth devices (e.g. mice, mobile phones, headphones, etc.) can connect and operate correctly

[Regression Potential]

Extremely low (on groovy in particular, this has the same version of bluez as hirsute). The only significant risk is to non-Pi platforms or dongles which also use the Broadcom 43xx (or Cypress 305) chips for Bluetooth which might be inadvertently affected by these patches.

[Original Description]

The new Pi 400 has a slightly different Wifi/BT chip to the Pi4. Whilst wifi works happily, Bluetooth fails to operate. This doesn't appear to be an issue with either the firmware (the latest versions from upstream Raspbian have been tried), or the kernel (a known-good raspi kernel has been tested under Ubuntu), but with Bluez itself. Specifically, tracing the initialization with btmon on Raspbian and Ubuntu, the stack consistently fails when attempting to "Set Default PHY" on the latter. Curiously, under Ubuntu the adapter also appears to lack a MAC address.

Hi,

I implemented the fix detailed in the test case yesterday and the bug
still existed. I've double checked again this morning and done a
full-upgrade just to check nothing new was waiting and the bug still
exists on this Mate 20.10 install. Yesterday after applying the fix I
started getting random "System problem detected, report this?" popups
but none so far today.

Blueman Applet is set as a startup item and both blueman-applet and
blueman-tray appear as running processes but running blueman-manager or
blueman-adapters from the command line both fail with the message
'Blueman applet needs to be running' The Bluetooth panel item isnt shown.

OS: Ubuntu MATE 20.10 aarch64
Host: Raspberry Pi 400 Rev 1.0

The changes come from the Pi Foundation originally (though I've tidied
them up a tiny bit). They're not interested in upstreaming them
themselves, though they expressed no objections to my attempting to do
so when I raised the question.

I realize I'll probably have a bit of a battle on my hands with
something like the patch involving sleep(1), but I would note that the
sleep(1) hack is in the hciattach_bcm43xx module so it is not something
that would be applied to every single Bluetooth module, only to those
compatible with the BCM43xx line.

While 1 second is obviously a suspiciously round number for the delay, I
would further note that it's immediately after a firmware load over the
controlling UART and that that UART can (in certain configurations) be
the Pi's mini-UART which has some (minimal) buffering, but lacks any
hardware flow control. Finally, these patches were also intended to work
on the relatively slow, single core Pi Zero.

Obviously we don't support the Zero, and thus it's possible *we* might
be able to either do away with that sleep, or at least reduce the delay
required, but given this is one-off initialization, and the delay is all
of 1 second, I'm not convinced it's worth investing the time required to
figure out the minimum. Also, I would assume in the interests of
upstreaming the patch, the delay should be as widely applicable as
possible.

Anyway, I'll upstream what I can and we'll have to carry whatever's left
over.

The value of the sleep is not really the issue but it feels like there should be a better way to tell when the system is ready, what are we waiting for? Is there any api call we could do to check if the thing we need is ready?

However, as this is an entry level device and I believe the only true

Ubuntu users?

Reading Tony's post the Mate website does not say it will work on the
PI400 where as the Ubuntu site does. I think the main issue is that
people think it is the same board as the Pi4 and it is not. Just my
opinion.

I personally think the revert is a bit extreme. Even though we are not maintainers of bluez, this being a critical feature for the Pi400 we would of course make sure that the changes get upstreamed as much as possible and in the meantime maintain the patches ourselves as many others related to the Pi (as in various other projects). Without this fix the Pi400 is basically broken, so we wanted to unblock users as soon as possible (for groovy) - the certification team is pushing hard on this since a while. Was the revert discussed somewhere before being performed?

I'm not asking for the patches to be merged upstream but at least to be sent there for review and have the appropriate tagging, it's easy to unblock from your side. Also I would like to see if we can get for a better way to probe for the system to be ready rather than relying on a random sleep

As Chris said in #20, there's a lot of hype on the pi400 and
bluetooth not working is definitely affecting user experience.

My apologies; I omitted to note in the patch that the Pi 400 is a
certified platform, i.e. we're effectively committed to making it work
as best we can, which makes the status of whether upstream accept the
patches or not rather moot:

If upstream say "yes" to the patches, without further discussion: that's
great, but there'd presumably still be some delay before another version
makes its way down to us, so we'd be applying *some* patch to make it
work in the interim.

If upstream say "with these changes" to the patches: again great, but in
the interim, we'd again be applying *some* patch to make things work on
a certified platform while working through changes upstream.

If upstream say "not in a month of Sundays" to these patches: we'd be
left carrying *some* patch, and we'd do it because it's a certified
platform and we're committed to making it work.

 From our end user's perspective therefore, the application of this
patch-set, whether via upstream or not, and whether in this form or not,
is not a matter of "if", but "when". Given we have in our possession a
patch-set that fixes the problem, I at least don't have a good answer to
the hypothetical user's obvious follow-up question: "why not now?"

Anyway, onto technical matters:

The following involves a certain amount of educated guessing. I haven't
dug into this extensively, but I can offer some reasons for why sleep(1)
is being used (and how this could be refined a bit, but not much):

Consider the bcm43xx_load_firmware routine in hciattach_bcm43xx.c [1]
which is being called prior to the apparently arbitrarily inserted
sleep(1) line in the patch. It's a fairly typical firmware load routine
by all accounts:

1. Calls write() with a command (0x2e 0xfc) to place the device into a
    state where it's read to receive new firmware

2. Calls read_hci_event() to check the device responded "okay!"

3. Calls nanosleep() to wait a short while (50ms) for the device to be
    ready

4. Calls read() and write() repeatedly to write the firmware blob from a
    file to the UART

5. Calls nanosleep() again to wait another short while (200ms) after the
    firmware load

So the existing (pre-patch) firmware load routine already has a
seemingly arbitrary post-firmware-load delay of 200ms. If we have a look
at the BCM4334 datasheet [2], p.159 we can see "wait at least 150ms
after [power on] before initiating SDIO accesses" (SDIO being one of ...

Again I'm not asking for the patches to be reviewed or accepted upstream before they are uploaded to Ubuntu, I'm just asking for them to be sent upstream and the reference to the email/report/merge request to be added to the patches. It would probably have been less work to just do it rather than type a long explanation here on why we need to distro patch in any case (which I never disagreed with)

Sorry again but we have been bitten too often in similar situation where people never upstreamed the work when they said they would because they got busy with other things, and we are the ones paying the maintainance cost later on.

Just to close the loop, I've just made fresh SD and USB boot disks from

Bluetooth, Ive updated both with the ppa and now both do work and I can
use mouse and headphones with no problems. I have no idea why my
original USB boot of Mate 20.10 didnt work after patching, there must be
another problem with it as well, my apologies for any confusion caused

The point for me is that we should be trying to avoid taking on indefinite technical debt (patches that have to be rebased forever). It's "fine" to include them ahead of any upstream schedule if we need to for hardware enablement, but we do need to have plans to make this be a non permanent situation. That's what Seb is asking for, and I'm totally on board with that.

Ah, my apologies - I had mis-interpreted the reversion as applying to
the SRU. I've no issue with a reversion in hirsute, provided it doesn't
delay existing users from using their Bluetooth hardware.

I estimate, as I think several others do judging by various comments,
that the patches in their current state don't stand much chance of
passing muster upstream, and I have no desire to waste their time with a
premature submission. At the very least, some justification needs adding
to the 1 second sleep: either a datasheet reference, which I've so far
failed to find, or some empirical measurements that it's actually
required (which I'm in the process of gathering; I've verified *a* delay
is required but not the minimum, or whether it can be combined with the
post-load nanosleep), along with evidence it doesn't break any existing
platforms (I've found a datasheet reference to back that bit up, but
tests are good too).

Anyway, sorry I mis-interpreted the release your action applied to; I
look forward to seeing the SRU land.

In the meantime, rest assured a submission will be made upstream as soon
as I think I've got a faint hope of it passing!

@seb128 it turns out Dave had already forwarded the patches, so I included the URLs in this new debdiff

@vanvugt I set the version to ubuntu3.1 rather than ubuntu4

Hello Dave, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bluez into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/5.53-0ubuntu3.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
