Re: BLE throughput under load, QOS #ble #nrf52840

Luiz Augusto von Dentz
 

Hi Henry,

I wonder if this could be related to the lack of buffers on the host,
I assume you would use bt_gatt_notify with NULL conn which will take
care of notifying each connection but that may end up consuming all
the buffers blocking which could the unbalanced since the connection
that first appear on the list would probably never block.

You could perhaps try to increase the buffer pool with:

CONFIG_BT_L2CAP_TX_BUF_COUNT 5

If that solves it we may have to consider making the default the
number of connection + 1 so we can actually emit notifications to all
connection at once, though that doesn't guarantee there is always
going to be buffer available if there are more traffic going on.

After implementing a throughput test for BLE using Nordic nrf52840 hardware and Zephyr 1.14-rc1, notice some curious behavior in data we are collecting. The test is to evaluate maximum throughput in a 1 to many and many to 1 scenario. Testing seems to show that when sending data from the central (client) to peripheral (server), the throughput performance is relatively balanced per connection but one peripheral seems to get less data and one peripheral get more than the others. In data flow from the peripherals to the central, it is much more unbalanced with one or two peripherals having all the throughput and the others having none.

The central to peripheral is 1:N where the central is a single point source. The many peripherals to central is an N:1 with many sources. In my case N is 1 up to 5, but would like to be greater. The overall aggregate throughput is constant, just not evenly distributed among the BLE devices or comm directions. Using DLE and 2M PHY and data is transferred using bt_gatt_write_without_response on client and bt_gatt_notify and the server.

There doesn't seem to be any QOS but I would not have expected such unbalanced behavior. Any thoughts to why this is and how to diagnose/resolve to produce consistent and balanced throughput among the BLE devices? Do I have something misconfigured in my devices? Can share if that will help.

Hi Johan,
Thanks for the prompt reply, this is useful for me.

The API to get information on a connection is bt_conn_get_info(). Out of the parameters you mentioned you can get at least get the interval, however DLE or PHY information is not currently exposed (contributions are welcome!).

Support for Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) in Zephyr

Siddharth Chandrasekaran
 

Hello,

I'm working on an project that involves Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) [1], an access control communication protocol used in the security industry. I'm working on this as an application at this point but I think this protocol may be useful for others too. So I'm looking at options for upstreaming it.

I would like to know if this is something that the upstream is interested at this point. If so, some pointers on where to add such protocol implementations and other references would be of help.

Thanks,
Sid.

To bring back RPL to Zephyr project

Jian Zhang
 

Hi All,

I am kind of new to Zephyr dev community. Previously our team was using Zephyr without actively involved in kernel development.

Recently we just noticed that RPL module will be removed in the coming release. Because we are using Zephyr and RPL in the current project and probably will keep using it. I am thinking of bringing it back and take the responsibility to maintain it.

Just want to check if the RPL module with Zephyr is used anywhere? In case it's not required by anyone else, it probably would be easier for us to maintain our own branch.

Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Jian

Yes, you would want to compare it to the source to see what it's trying to do, and possibly
how to make it stop.

Hi,

try enabling

IMHO this should be the default. Needing to fill the gaps is indicative of a problem

Subject: [Zephyr-devel] Removing padding from generated hex files

Hi,
Is it possible when building projects to have the flash sections that are defined in the dts but unused (in this instance, the Nordic MBR) and not have them filled but instead left blank/empty? I have created a simple project and enabled mcuboot support in the build options, it uses the flash partition table correctly and places the code at 0x1000 instead of 0x0, but it has filled 0x0 – 0x1000 with 0x00 bytes, which if flashed will overwrite the Nordic MBR and leave a dead module. Instead, I would like to have code start at 0x1000, nothing at all placed between 0x0 – 0x1000, and the same in another section which is defined later, this is so that there can be external data present which isn’t overwritten when the application hex file is flashed to the module.

Thanks, I've had a look but I still need to understand how to register the faults, via application. Any hint would be appreciated.
That depends on your application and the source of the faults. All the stack requires is for you to keep track of the fault history. You could do that e.g. with a simple u8_t array like the mesh shell does.

In the case of the mesh shell it has arrays for current and registered faults, with the assumption that there can be up to CUR_FAULTS_MAX different faults. There are also fault-add and fault-del commands to artificially introduce faults (the shell is a testing program - for a real device you’d have the faults coming from some real source). Take a look at how the command handlers for add-fault and del-fault behave, i.e. the cmd_add_fault() and cmd_del_fault() functions. Any time a fault appears or goes away you’re expected to call the bt_mesh_fault_update() API so that the right message gets sent out to the network (if the node is configured to do publication through its health server).

The difference between the two types fault arrays (if it’s unclear from the mesh spec): registered faults is the history of faults that your device has experienced at some point in its history, whereas current faults is the set of faults that is currently experiencing. That’s why the add-fault shell command adds to both arrays but the del-fault only removes from the current faults array.

The Zephyr mesh health server leaves fault registration up to the application, however you do need to register a bt_mesh_health_srv_cb struct which includes callbacks for retrieving the faults, clearing them, etc (these are called whenever the stack needs them). Take a look at e.g. how this is done in the mesh shell in subsys/bluetooth/host/mesh/shell.c.

This is news to me and, although it might be expected, I would like to check with a couple of people. So I think this deserves being tracked. Would you mind opening a “Question” issue on GitHub so I can copy the relevant people and we can investigate a bit further? If you have any code snippets that you can attach to the issue that would be most helpful as well.

Hello,

I follow this link, https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/index.html#get-the-source-code , to install west, but after type *west --version*, below message pop-up, it looks abnormal.

BLE throughput under load, QOS #ble #nrf52840

henry.wagner@...
 

After implementing a throughput test for BLE using Nordic nrf52840 hardware and Zephyr 1.14-rc1, notice some curious behavior in data we are collecting.   The test is to evaluate maximum throughput in a 1 to many and many to 1 scenario. Testing seems to show that when sending data from the central (client) to peripheral (server), the throughput performance is relatively balanced per connection but one peripheral seems to get less data and one peripheral get more than the others.  In data flow from the peripherals to the central, it is much more unbalanced with one or two peripherals having all the throughput and the others having none.

The central to peripheral is 1:N where the central is a single point source.  The many peripherals to central is an N:1 with many sources.  In my case N is 1 up to 5, but would like to be greater.  The overall aggregate throughput is constant, just not evenly distributed among the BLE devices or comm directions.  Using DLE and 2M PHY and data is transferred using bt_gatt_write_without_response on client and bt_gatt_notify and the server.

There doesn't seem to be any QOS but I would not have expected such unbalanced behavior.  Any thoughts to why this is and how to diagnose/resolve to produce consistent and balanced throughput among the BLE devices?    Do I have something misconfigured in my devices?  Can share if that will help.
