ESP32-C3 - esp_ble_gap_start_advertising

PlatformIO IDE
1

I have a Bluetooth project for an ESP32 devkit and want to compile it for an ESP32-C3. I use the newest ESP32 Arduino core as a component with esp-idf and the following configuration for PlatformIO:

[platformio]
src_dir = src
default_envs = debug

# Common build environment that is used for each of the tasks
[env]
platform = espressif32
framework = espidf

board = esp32-c3-devkitm-1

# 4 MB module version
board_upload.flash_size = 4MB
board_upload.maximum_size = 4194304
board_build.partitions = partitions.csv

# Settings for serial upload
upload_speed = 921600
upload_port = COM2

# Settings for serial console
monitor_speed = 115200
monitor_port = COM2
monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder

# Additional packages
platform_packages =

# Aditional build scripts for all environments to run before (`pre`) and after (`post`) the main build script
extra_scripts =

# Common build flags for all environments
build_flags =

lib_deps =
    bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.18.0

[env:debug]
build_type = debug

build_flags =
    ${env.build_flags}
    -D DEBUG
    -D APP_VERSION_POST='debug'

lib_deps =
    ${env.lib_deps}

extra_scripts =
    ${env.extra_scripts}

[env:release]
build_type = debug

build_flags =
    ${env.build_flags}
    -D RELEASE

lib_deps =
    ${env.lib_deps}

extra_scripts =
    ${env.extra_scripts}

I use the following toolchain:

 - framework-espidf @ 3.40401.0 (4.4.1)
 - tool-cmake @ 3.16.4
 - tool-esptoolpy @ 1.30300.0 (3.3.0)
 - tool-idf @ 1.0.1
 - tool-mconf @ 1.4060000.20190628 (406.0.0)
 - tool-ninja @ 1.9.0
 - toolchain-riscv32-esp @ 8.4.0+2021r2-patch3

But I got the following error during the linking:

.platformio/packages/toolchain-riscv32-esp/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv32-esp-elf/8.4.0/../../../../riscv32-esp-elf/bin/ld.exe: .pio\build\debug\esp-idf\arduino-esp32\libarduino-esp32.a(BLEAdvertising.o): in function `BLEAdvertising::start()':

A verbose build outputs the following command before the error appears:

It looks like libbt.a isn´t linked. May this cause this issue? How can I fix it or where do I find the required part in the build system of pio?

Are you sure CONFIG_BT_ENABLED=y in the sdkconfig?

Hi @maxgerhardt,

yes it´s enabled. The code can get compiled successfully when switching to an ESP32 instead of the C3.

Hi @kampi ! The missing functions are wrapped by the BLE_42_FEATURE_SUPPORT macro. Could you please double check that the BLE 4.2 features are enabled in your sdkconfig? I guess the CONFIG_BT_BLE_42_FEATURES_SUPPORTED=y is the right option.

Hi,

thank you! This was the final hint. I also have seen that my sdkconfig contains also CONFIG_BT_BLE_50_FEATURES_SUPPORTED. Is there some documentation to find out the function of these two macros? I only have found this link and it wasn´t very helpful :frowning:
