Hi Declan,

Could you enable the following options and try to take another log:

CONFIG_BT_DEBUG_LOG=y
CONFIG_BT_DEBUG_HCI_CORE=y

If I remember right, EIO is just a generic mapping to any HCI error coming from the controller. Enabling the above options should hopefully reveal what that error is. If it still doesn't help we'll need to enable controller logs or take a full HCI log (using CONFIG_BT_DEBUG_MONITOR).

Hi,

I have a basic project that scans for 5 seconds, then stops for one second - then repeats forever.
After exactly 128 cycles, the 129th scan start (and all after that) fails with error code -5 (I think this is POSIX: #define EIO 5 /* I/O error */).

Given the number of time it works (128) it seems like a resource or memory may have run out?

Here is the debug log (attached) showing the problem: Any ideas what might be wrong & how to fix it?

Thanks...

P.S. Also at the end of this file is a fragment of debug I saw a couple of times earlier today during testing - showing a kernel error that occurred. It may be related or unrelated to the other problem??
