I'm currently using an MSI WS60 laptop which contains the following Bluetooth controller (from lsusb):

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0

and the more detailed version:

In my kernel logs I see the following:

I did a search for this issue and only found other bugs indicating that this should be reported upstream:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451689

A mailing list message:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg135868.html

And a possible duplicate:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg135869.html

My /proc/version:

Linux version 4.0.0-wl-ath+ (root@catelyn) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Gentoo
4.8.4 p1.5, pie-0.6.1) ) #14 SMP Thu May 7 18:26:16 AEST 2015

I am running the ath+ branch because my Wi-Fi will not work on the current kernel (attempted linux-4.0.4-gentoo and Wi-Fi failed to load firmware, bluetooth had exact same message in kernel logs as reported above). I'm running commit 4b9abafd of the kvalo/ath fork with the atk10k firmware files from my own sumdog/ath10k-firmware fork.

Is there an official bug in for this issue yet that I can watch? Are there any dfu files I can try out there for my specific device? I can build any kernels you need if you want more specific debugging information.

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0

assuming that the firmware is present, this is most likely just missing the right VID/PID additions in the drivers. Please prepare a patch for that.

Marcel,

So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?

So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?

Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.

I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out

Hi Rick,

Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.

Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?

--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c

static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...

    /* QCA ROME chipset */
    { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
    { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
    { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, // <-- add new VID/PID here

...

2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe. --

I would really prefer if companies pay more attention when releasing hardware that the USB product ID is unique. Is there any other identifying detail in the USB descriptors that could be used to check which version it is?

So you can not just walk away and say bad luck here. You released this mishap and now have to figure out on how we can make both hardware versions work. Otherwise I will take the other working one out as well and level the playing field here.

So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
I would really prefer if companies pay more attention when releasing hardware that the USB product ID is unique. Is there any other identifying detail in the USB descriptors that could be used to check which version it is?
So you can not just walk away and say bad luck here. You released this mishap and now have to figure out on how we can make both hardware versions work. Otherwise I will take the other working one out as well and level the playing field here.
Regards
Marcel

Yes, I agree with you. I would say upcoming other product which has built a version of ROME including v2.0/v2.1/v3.0/v3.2 is going to use different PID but I hadn't recognized MSI has a QCA ROME of same PID with AR3012 until I got reported.

Hi Rick,

Is there any other way to detect AR/ROME chips sharing with same VID/PID except sending command to controller even though they're reporting same PID?

Thanks

    { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },

Hi Ben,

I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.

I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line or it will match the ath first:

{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }

So then I saw

[    1.263991] usb 3-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
[    1.277022] usb 4-1.8: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci

[    1.350463] BT Device Info (after matching) 32768
[    1.350466] In Rome Block
[    1.350546] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as

[    1.350671] hci0
[    1.350879] Bluetooth: hci0: don't support firmware rome 0x200
[    1.364795] usb 4-1.8: New USB device found, idVendor=1770,
idProduct=ff00
[    1.364797] usb 4-1.8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=1,

[    1.364798] usb 4-1.8: Product: MSI EPF USB
[    1.364799] usb 4-1.8: Manufacturer: MSI EPF USB
[    1.364800] usb 4-1.8: SerialNumber: MSI EPF USB

So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) " and you can see where that error comes from.

And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info

        { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },

and now I get;

[    1.357942] intf ffff88041ba5bc00 id ffffffff81d83bc0
[    1.357943] BT Device Info 0
[    1.357944] BT Device Info (after matching) 32768
[    1.357946] In Rome Block
[    1.358113] hci0
[    1.358516] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for
qca/rampatch_usb_00000200.bin failed with error -2
[    1.358517] Bluetooth: hci0: failed to request rampatch file:

qca/rampatch_usb_00000200.bin (-2)

So progress. It's attempting to load the firmware and failing. Are those the right numbers for the device_info block?

So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) " and you can see where that error comes from.

So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line or it will match the ath first:

Marcel,

So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?

I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in
here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has
anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.

I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out

Hi Rick,

Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

Yes, It's an MSI WS-60 Laptop, purchased two months ago in Australia. Is there any other debugging information I need to pull for you?

More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.

Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?

1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c

static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, // <-- add new VID/PID here
...

Thanks

Hi Ben,

I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line or it will match the ath first:

{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }

1. Make sure to load firmware files on the kernel message

Yes, It's an MSI WS-60 Laptop, purchased two months ago in Australia. Is
there any other debugging information I need to pull for you?

More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw
[    1.263991] usb 3-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 3 using

[    1.364799] usb 4-1.8: Manufacturer: MSI EPF USB
[    1.364800] usb 4-1.8: SerialNumber: MSI EPF USB
So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.
And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info
       { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },
and now I get;

[    1.357943] BT Device Info 0

Oh I rebooted; so this is a fresh log. As far as I can tell, it only tries to load the firmware once.

Huh, odd. When I try to use hcitool, it can't find hci0:

assuming that the firmware is present, this is most likely
just missing the right VID/PID additions in the drivers.
Please prepare a patch for that.

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
Quoted 9 lines
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

I'm currently using an MSI WS60 laptop which contains the
following
Bluetooth controller (from lsusb):
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications,

assuming that the firmware is present, this is most likely
just missing the right VID/PID additions in the drivers.
Please prepare a patch for that.
and the more detailed version:

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
Quoted 9 lines
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw

[    1.364799] usb 4-1.8: Manufacturer: MSI EPF USB
[    1.364800] usb 4-1.8: SerialNumber: MSI EPF USB
So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.
And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info
       { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },
and now I get;
[    1.357942] intf ffff88041ba5bc00 id ffffffff81d83bc0
[    1.357943] BT Device Info 0

My bad. It was a typo. Please try this. It should work on your setup I believe.
# hciconfig hci0 up

Ben,

Still doesn't work, but "hciconfig hci0 up" gives me a different error message:

[10041.915542] hci0
[10041.915549] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to access otp area (-113)

Actually I just remembered where I've see otp before. So to get Wi-fi working on this laptop, I had to the kvalo/ath fork on github and I had to add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf:

options ath10k_core skip_otp=y

That's why I'm still on the kvalo fork, so I can use my internal ath10k wi-fi adapter. (There's a bug on the Ubuntu launchpad tracker where I got that from).

So I'm a bit out of my league here. What is OTP?

[10041.915549] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to access otp area (-113)
Actually I just remembered where I've see otp before. So to get Wi-fi working on this laptop, I had to the kvalo/ath fork on github and I had to add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf:

That's why I'm still on the kvalo fork, so I can use my internal ath10k wi-fi adapter. (There's a bug on the Ubuntu launchpad tracker where I got that from).
So I'm a bit out of my league here. What is OTP?

Hi Sumit,

[10041.915549] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to access otp area (-113)

In the driver setup stage, it should communicate with controller to read rom HW / patch version inside. If you see this error, driver couldn't access controller through USB channel to read rom version.

[  108.602907] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file:
qca/rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
[  108.602909] Bluetooth: hci0: QCA: patch rome 0x200 build 0x299,
firmware rome 0x200 build 0x111
[  108.658716] Bluetooth: hci0: using NVM file: qca/nvm_usb_00000200.bin

However, if you see those messages, it means you can read rom version first and patch download steps are completely done without any error so that controller is ready to do BT works. that's why I'm suggesting to trigger to install Bluetooth protocol into BlueZ driver using 'hciconfig hci0 up' command.

Have you seen your error message of OTP area(-113) after patch download is done?

Thanks

this up to Atheros / Qualcomm to submit there. I can not do

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just
hasn't been released yet?
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python
scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers
(mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has
anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you
typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw

So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.

However, if you see those messages, it means you can read rom version first and patch download steps are completely done without any error so that controller is ready to do BT works. that's why I'm suggesting to trigger to install Bluetooth protocol into BlueZ driver using 'hciconfig hci0 up' command.
Have you seen your error message of OTP area(-113) after patch download is done?
Thanks

Ah okay. So that error comes form btusb_qca_send_vendor_req which is called from btusb_setup_qca, which should only be called from btusb_probe.

That is really weird. When I do

sudo hciconfig hci0 up

In get:

Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5)

and in the kernel logs I get:

[  154.314133] hci0
[  154.314155] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to access otp area (-108)

So that first hci0, I think is coming from the BT_DBG in btusb_open ... oh, that also calls "data->setup_on_usb" which for the rome driver, calls btusb_setup_qca, which then calls btusb_qca_send_vendor_req and we come full circle. ... So that's why we're seeing that error even after the firmware has been loaded. btusb_open also calls btusb_setup_qca.

Interestingly enough, if I run just "hciconfig hci0" I get:

hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB

    BD Address: 2C:33:7A:00:05:DA  ACL MTU: 1024:8  SCO MTU: 50:8
    DOWN
    RX bytes:603 acl:0 sco:0 events:32 errors:0
    TX bytes:375 acl:0 sco:0 commands:32 errors:0

So it's showing up correctly. It's just failing when I try to bring it up. Hmm... I get that same -108 if I do an "rfkill block bluetooth" followed by and "rfkill unblock bluetooth" ... so rfkill must try to bring it up as well after an unblock.

The bluetooth light on my laptop is lit as well, and only flips on/off using rfkill. hciconfig hci0 down doesn't turn it off (but doesn't error out either) and hciconfig hci0 up doesn't turn it on if I rfkill block it (gives me the error "Can't init device hci0: Operation not possible due to RF-kill (132)" .. so that seems right; hciconfig shouldn't affect if the device is actually powered on/off, just if the interface is up/down, correct?)

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just
hasn't been released yet?
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python
scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers
(mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has
anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you
typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw

So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.
And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info
       { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },
and now I get;

Actually I just remembered where I've see otp before. So to get Wi-fi working on this laptop, I had to the kvalo/ath fork on github and I had to add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf:
options ath10k_core skip_otp=y

That's why I'm still on the kvalo fork, so I can use my internal ath10k wi-fi adapter. (There's a bug on the Ubuntu launchpad tracker where I got that from).

Hi Sumit,

I'm expecting your card is up and running properly on Windows to make sure there is NO HW problem. Can you please double confirm? Addition to that, does WLAN(ath10k) work on your laptop?

Thanks

Ben,

Kvalo updated the wl-ath+ kernel fork to 4.1.0 so I attempted this again to see if it might have been a bug that's been fixed.

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to this. I gave up and just bought an external Bluetooth adapter for a while. I've been travelling and my external dongle broke along the way, so I'm back to trying to get the internal one working.

I'm now on linux-4.3.0 stock, using the same patch and getting the same error when I attempt to turn on the bluetooth adapter using "power on" from the bluetoothctl command line tool.

[10052.098236] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to access otp area (-108)

I saw someone had updated the bugzilla bug and cited someone else who used my patch and got their bluetooth working:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99371
http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=144633933801493&w=2

So this still isn't working for me. As far as the question, "Does it work in Windows" unfortunately I no longer have Windows installed on this laptop and don't have the equipment (external hard drive or something) to try to get a native install. If I run Windows in Virtual Box and I try to connect the device, it still shows up at an ath3k device and Windows 8 can't load the drivers.

Neither of the official driver packages from MSI for this laptop work if I have it connected via VM, so I fell like I need to get Windows running natively to really test it:

KillerSuite_1.1.53.1484_Win7_Win81
KillerDrivers_1.1.52.1438

Interestingly enough, when looking for the driver from MSI for windows, it's apparently different for this same model of laptop. They changed out the card throughout the production cycle. According to the bottom of my laptop, the label says:

RF Module inside:
Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA34AC

But I guess that's just the wi-fi and not the bluetooth? The ath10k wifi works perfectly in kernel 4.3.0.

The kernel logs still show the firmware loading:

[   11.128970] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file:
qca/rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
[   11.128972] Bluetooth: hci0: QCA: patch rome 0x200 build 0x299,
firmware rome 0x200 build 0x111
[   11.184335] Bluetooth: hci0: using NVM file: qca/nvm_usb_00000200.bin
[ 6886.445648] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file:
qca/rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
[ 6886.445656] Bluetooth: hci0: QCA: patch rome 0x200 build 0x299,
firmware rome 0x200 build 0x111
[ 6886.499929] Bluetooth: hci0: using NVM file: qca/nvm_usb_00000200.bin

So the patch will only apply if the chipset is correct right? Or can this be successful even if it's the wrong chip?

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
Quoted 9 lines
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw

So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.
And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info
       { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },

I'm currently using an MSI WS60 laptop which contains the
following
Bluetooth controller (from lsusb):
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications,

assuming that the firmware is present, this is most likely
just missing the right VID/PID additions in the drivers.
Please prepare a patch for that.

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
Quoted 9 lines
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to
extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in
here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically
just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = {
...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME },
// <-- add new VID/PID here
...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe.

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back
into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and
rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line
or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
So then I saw

[    1.364800] usb 4-1.8: SerialNumber: MSI EPF USB
So those BT Device Info statements I added in the probe function. "In Rome Block" I added right after "if (id->driver_info & BTUSB_QCA_ROME) "
and you can see where that error comes from.
And that comes from...oh it checks another table...okay so I added the following to qca_device_info
      { 0x00000200, 28, 4, 18 },
and now I get;

Did you load btusb module on manual? Looks like kernel was going to detect the card and loaded on boot step and you did to load driver again then it failed.

Can you just reboot the PC and see fw is downloaded on the boot and run my sequences on root permission?

Did you load btusb module on manual? Looks like kernel was going to detect the card and loaded on boot step and you did to load driver again then it failed.
Can you just reboot the PC and see fw is downloaded on the boot and run my sequences on root permission?

Ah yes; not sure what happened last time. On a fresh reboot it autoloads btusb. But I still get this:

Hi Ben,

Is there any other way to detect AR/ROME chips sharing with same VID/PID except sending command to controller even though they're reporting same PID?

I compared the AR and ROME chip's USB descriptions but no difference between them.
So, I think if they use the same VID/PIV, we have to send VSC command to know the chip is AR or ROME chip.

Thanks
Rick

I'm currently using an MSI WS60 laptop which contains
the following Bluetooth controller (from lsusb):
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications,

assuming that the firmware is present, this is most
likely just missing the right VID/PID additions in the drivers.
Please prepare a patch for that.
and the more detailed version:

Marcel,
So it's pulling the right firmware file for my device, but It just hasn't been released yet?
Quoted 7 lines
I know with the Wi-Fi firmware, the ath10k devs had python scripts to extract the firmware binaries from the Windows drivers (mentioned in here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184
). Has anyone done that before with the bluetooth firmware, or do you typically just wait for atheros/qualcom to release official ones?
Where did you get your atheros board/card since I couldn't find that board here. Is it a laptop? The BT firmware driver was trying to load AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu file and it got failed because no firmware file was present. But 0x00000200 means fw_version.rom_version which coming from controller chip, however, I haven't seen this version on Atheros chipset.
I'm adding my friend - Rick Huang here. He may help you out
Hi Rick,
Have you seen rom_version as 0x00000200?

According to my colleague, it is not AR chip but QCA ROME core inside even though they're sharing same VID/PID with AR/QCA ROME(version 2). That's why you cannot bring up your card with ath3k driver. I knew it was not a good idea as it was early stage to develop the card so that next version of ROME USB card(v3.0 or
v3.2) will use different PID/VID as you can see below.
Can you follow up these instructions to see whether or not it can be addressed on your setup?
--
1. put this code in drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c
static const struct usb_device_id blacklist_table[] = { ...
/* QCA ROME chipset */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe300), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe360), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME }, { USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_QCA_ROME
}, // <-- add new VID/PID here ...
2. Copy firmware files into /lib/firmware/qca
- nvm_usb_00000200.bin
- rampatch_usb_00000200.bin
Those FW files won't be available on linux-firmware.git til today but it it will be available soon I believe. --

Hi Ben,
I added that line to my btusb.c; did a mrpropery, copied my .config back into the source tree, disabled ATH3K in menucofnig, made the bzImage and rebooted. The firmware you attached is in /lib/firmware/qca.
I enabled debugging (FLAGS_btusb.o := -DDEBUG in the Makefile) so I could get some more info, and discovered I also have to delete this line or it will match the ath first:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x3004), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 }
