BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES event is coming when when remote device sends l2cap connection request

user116688

I am using Nordic Serialisation library, with a nrf52480 chip as connectivity chip and a m4 arm core custom board as Application chip. I am able to establish gap connection from Remote device. But when remote device send request to connect to l2cap channel (with PSM value 129, just for experimentation purpose, I set this value), I am getting BLE Event BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES from connecticity chip. There is no L2cap request event or anything. .I am directly getting this event. I mean, 

BLE_L2CAP_EVT_CH_SETUP_REFUSED event with status as BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES.
I have set the l2cap connection configuration as below:
	ble_cfg_t ble_cfg;
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.conn_cfg_tag = APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG; /* = 1 */
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.l2cap_conn_cfg.ch_count = 1;	
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.l2cap_conn_cfg.rx_mps = 67;
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.l2cap_conn_cfg.tx_mps = 67;
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.l2cap_conn_cfg.rx_queue_size = 4;
	ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.l2cap_conn_cfg.tx_queue_size = 4;
	err_code = sd_ble_cfg_set(BLE_CONN_CFG_L2CAP, &ble_cfg, NULL);

    Hi,

    I am not sure what the problem is here, I assume  you only have one link established.

    If you haven't already I suggest to take a look at the nRF5 SDK example that use L2CAP:
    \examples\ble_peripheral\experimental\ble_app_ots
    \examples\ble_central\experimental\ble_app_ots_c

    You may for instance use one of those examples as peer during testing also. 

    Also double check there are no error does returned by for instance sd_ble_cfg_set() or other softevice api calls.

    If you still have problems, then an on-air sniffer log could be useful. For instance check out nRF sniffer for BLE.

    Best regards,
    Kenneth

    Yeah. Every sd api is returning success only. (As I am using serialization library, in the application chip every sd api call was printed.)

    Okay. Will check and update. 

    Meanwhile, could you please let me know in what all possible scenarios sd will return the above error. As the sd source code is not available, I am not able to figure out what all are the possible scenarios for this event to generate

    I have tried this standalone (ie, without serialisation). I am able to get BLE_L2CAP_EVT_CH_SETUP_REQUEST properly.

    And I tried runnning the HRS example from sdk, standalone(ie, without serialization), with some modification to configure l2cap, that time also I am able to get the BLE_L2CAP_EVT_CH_SETUP_REQUEST properly. 

    But when i try the HRS example via serialisation, with similar l2cap  config changes which i did for standalone hrs, I am getting the BLE_L2CAP_EVT_CH_SETUP_REFUSED event, with BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES

    I tried the HRS example in nordic pc-ble-driver (with similar changes for setting l2cap configuration) from an Ubuntu systems, there also I am getting the same _NO_RESOURCES error.
    So I am thinking whether the issue is coming only due to Serialisation..
    1) Do I need to do any configuration on connectivity chip, while compilation itself, for using l2cap channels? ( I mean, I am already calling the sd_ble_cfg_set() from Application chip, before enabling the sd, for setting l2cap configuration. Apart from this for this particular l2cap to work, do i need to do any static configuration on connectivity chip side?)
    2) What all the possible cases for BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES error to come?

    I have learned that we return BLE_L2CAP_CH_STATUS_CODE_NO_RESOURCES in only one case: when peer sends us valid L2CAP_LE_CREDIT_BASED_CONN_REQUEST packet and SD cannot allocate l2cap channel for it.

    From your code it seems you do call sd_ble_cfg_set(BLE_CONN_CFG_L2CAP) with l2cap_conn_cfg.ch_count = 1 that should set aside one allocable channel, so first l2cap connection should be successful.

    One thing to check, do you connect BLE link with your configured APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG; /* = 1 */ (note, that default cfg tag is 0).

    I'm not sure about serialization, but it seems to me that problem may be in serialization and not in SD itself.

    I have tried this, using the default configuration. But still the same issue is there

    Could this  _NO_RESOURCES error due to any memory issue on the connectivity chip?

    I mean, it is trying to allocate something but memory is not available. Could that be a possibility
