New Items

1.1 New Features
Added in release 5.1.1.0
The TrustZone solution is now available on all Bluetooth devices. Refer to AN1374: Series 2 TrustZone for the implementation details.
bt_soc_csr_generator and bt_soc_cbap applications are now also available as a Simplicity Studio Solution that includes both the application and the appropriate bootloader project.
Added in release 5.1.0.0
Bluetooth AppLoader OTA DFU Configurations
The Bluetooth AppLoader OTA DFU software component has configuration options now. When a custom device address is used, by default the address is read from the MFG_CUSTOM_EUI_64 token in the User Data page. This default behavior  can be overridden by implementing the bootloader_apploader_get_custom_device_address() function.
Added in release 5.0.0.0
External bonding database
The external bonding database is provided in this release as an optional feature component. When the feature is used, the application stores the persistent data of Bluetooth bondings. The Bluetooth stack sends BGAPI events to the application to store bonding data and to request the application to pass bonding data when needed.
Three-Wire UART transport layer support
Three-Wire UART transport layer support for HCI is available in this release.
Per-PHY Power Limit Configuration
A new per-PHY power limit configuration is available for specifying the maximum output power when TX power is limited by power spectral density.
New AFH configuration for enabling high power
New SL_BT_CONFIG_AFH_ENABLE_HIGH_POWER configuration option is added to the bluetooth_feature_afh component. Customers who want the device to behave as FHS, that is to use high power, in regions where AFH is not mandatory can enable this
option only, and disable the SL_BT_CONFIG_AFH_ENABLE_AT_BOOT configuration.
New configurations in Bluetooth Controller
The Bluetooth Controller component has two new configurations:

• SL_BT_CONTROLLER_COMPLETED_PACKETS_THRESHOLD for defining the number of transmitted air interface ACL packets to trigger the Number Of Completed Packets HCI event
• SL_BT_CONTROLLER_COMPLETED_PACKETS_EVENTS_TIMEOUT for defining the maximum number of connection events since the previous Number Of Completed Packets HCI event to trigger reporting of any unreported completed ACL packets.

Read Version over HCI
UC component bt_hci_version is added for HCI vendor specific read version command.
MQTT mock component
MQTT mock component is available for the bt_aoa_host_locator example application for testing purposes.
AoD receiver NCP example
The AoD receiver NCP example is available for Simplicity Studio Direction Finding tools.
Object Transfer Service
The Object Transfer Service (OTS) is available for applications to use the object transfer feature.
CTE transmitter SoC example
The CTE transmitter SoC example for Angle of Departure (AoD)
New Applications for TrustZone-compatible devices
bt_soc_csr_generator and bt_soc_cbap applications are now available for all TrustZone-compatible devices.
1.2 New APIs
Added in release 5.0.0.0
sl_bt_gap_set_identity_address command: Set the Bluetooth identity address for central and peripheral roles.
sl_bt_external_bondingdb_set_data command: Pass bonding data of a connection from the external bonding database to the stack.
sl_bt_evt_external_bondingdb_data_request event: The Bluetooth stack requests the bonding data of a connection from the external bonding database.
sl_bt_evt_external_bondingdb_data event: Indicates that updated bonding data of a connection is available.
sl_bt_evt_external_bondingdb_data_ready event: The stack has received all the necessary bonding data from the application.
sl_bt_evt_system_resource_exhausted event: Indicates the system is running out of resources during the use of the Bluetooth stack.
New flag in sl_bt_system_linklayer_configure command: A new configuration flag is added for enabling reporting all SCA_RSP pack- ets even if those are not the responses to the scan request initiated by the local device.
New version constants in header sl_bt_version.h: SL_BT_VERSION_MAJOR, SL_BT _VERSION_MINOR, SL_BT _VERSION_PATCH, SL_BT _VERSION_BUILD, and SL_BT _VERSION_HASH
VS_SiliconLabs_Set_Max_Low_Tx_Power (0xfc1b): New vendor-specific HCI command for the per-PHY power limit configuration feature.

Improvements

2.1 Changed Items
Changed in release 5.0.0.0
Stack behavioral change in case of external bonding database
Following functionality or API behavioral changes when the external bonding database feature is used:

• sl_bt_store_bonding_configuration command must be called to define the list size before adding devices to the accept list.
• The sl_bt_get_bonding_handles, sl_bt_get_bonding_details, and find_bonding_by_address commands are unavailable.

Bluetooth RTOS adaptation
The Bluetooth RTOS adaptation (bluetooth_rtos_adaptation) kernel object uses dynamic memory allocation for improving adaptability, beginning with this release. The heap usage in applications using this component is increased by roughly 4900 bytes as a result of this change.
Bluetooth API for NCP host
The host-side NCP Bluetooth API in sl_bt_ncp_host.c now accepts NULL pointers to output parameters. If an application does not need an output value that is merely informational, the application can pass a NULL pointer to that output parameter and avoid allocating storage for the output.
bootloader-apploader
The bootloader-apploader component can be used for both bt_soc_csr_generator and bt_soc_cbap. Previously, the bootloader_bgapi_uart_bootloader was used with bt_soc_csr_generator.
bt_soc_throughput_display example app
The bt_soc_throughput_display example app is no longer supported on BRD4169x boards.
2.2 Changed APIs
None

Fixed Issues

ID #|

Description

---|---
1105786
1132177| Fixed the extended connection backoff procedure behavior. Now, when the Link Layer fails multiple times to receive a AUX_CONNECT_RSP after a AUX_CONNECT_REQ is sent, an increasingly random number of connectable extended advertisements are skipped before attempting to connect again.
1124749| Fixed an issue that could cause the Bluetooth stack to enter a live- lock situation where no progress is made if buffer resources are exhausted when the stack is generating critical events that require a retry in out-of- memory situations.
1131945| Fixed an issue in the AppLoader that the TX power is too low on EFR32[M|B]G1x devices.
1143531| Fixed an issue that the EDIV and random values were always set to all zero, potentially causing encryption to fail when reconnecting to a peripheral that has been paired with legacy pairing.
1144105| Fixed an issue that the first connection packet was not received by the peripheral if the peripheral was advertising using LE Coded PHY with S2 coding.
1164860| Fixed a bug that caused the Bluetooth linklayer to transmit invalid Tx and Rx maximum times in the LLCP_LENGTH_REQ and LLCP_LENGTH_RSP packets to the remote device.
1192858| Improved advertisement report handling over the HCI interface. Now it is possible to configure maximum number of queued advertisement reports. This improves performance over slow HCI connection.
1196365| Fixed an issue seen with DTM when watchdog timer component presents.
1218018| Optimized connection establishments in a DMP configuration. Previously packets were not processed fast enough in certain cases, resulting in connection loss.
1218112| Fixed a race condition between the connection termination and channel map update procedure that could cause a double buffer free.

Fixed in release 5.1.4.0

ID #|

Description

---|---
1115163| Fixed an issue where Extended Advertisement packets would not be transmitted if AFH was enabled and the advertisement interval was longer than the AFH interval (default: 1 second).
1117851| Fixed the BGAPI event order so that the sl_bt_evt_connection_opened event is sent to the application before the sl_bt_evt_external_bondingdb_data_request event when the bluetooth_feature_external_bonding_database feature is used.
1117852| The option “Allow connections only from bonded devices” of the sl_bt_sm_configure() command is now ignored and treated as unsupported when the application uses the bluetooth_feature_external_bonding_database feature.
1120955| Fixed a regression where channel maps in the connection creation packets had reserved-for-future field bits set to 1.
1129475| Fixed a memory corruption issue in the GATT server that is caused by a data truncation operation when the data buffer used for sending a prepare write response has extra data payload to discard.

Fixed in release 5.1.1.0

Layer and radio. Other interrupts, such as the USART interrupt, are not used by the Bluetooth stack. Please check the priority settings in the corresponding component to see if it uses the default priorities or has own setting.
840102| Fixed a crash when the stack does not properly handle received data during the disconnection of a Bluetooth connection. The fix was first released to the Bluetooth SDK 4.0.0, and is available on all newer SDK versions.
1016107| For TrustZone-capable devices, the CBAP workspace can be used. Users don’t have to create their own TrustZone solutions.
1039103| Fixed a crash that may happen during the pairing process when the Bluetooth Controller runs on RTOS.
1080356| Fixed an issue that the Bluetooth stack could run out of memory if the remote device sends a L2CAP packet that has a very long length value in the L2CAP header.
1103368| Fixed a case where device could get stuck when operating as central device and opening a connection using the extended connection request procedure.

1092646| Fixed an issue in the DTM RX scheduling that may cause the stack to become unresponsive when the stack runs in RTOS.

Fixed in release 5.0.0.0

always return 0 for GRANT denied counts when using the rail_util_coex component with Bluetooth.
1020072| Fixed the issue where the coex REQUEST is held asserted for a longer duration than normal when a connection event pre-empts a lower-priority passive scan event that is at or near completion.
1039172| Fixed multiple HCI packet handling in CPC-HCI bridge that causes a GATT discovery failure.
1039636| Fixed an issue in the Bluetooth controller that overrides the low- power amplifier configuration to the high-power amplifier if the application selects the low-power amplifier. This issue causes an increase in transmission current. The fix is available since the Bluetooth SDK 4.2.0.0.
1040323| The mandatory ADI field has been added to the AUX_ADV_IND PDUs.
1042501| Fixed an issue in AppLoader causing using static random address in Series-2 devices to fail.

1067967| Fixed an issue that causes sl_bt_evt_sync_opened and sl_bt_evt_sync_transfer_received events to report a wrong adv_phy value if the periodic advertising train uses the coded PHY.
1068798| Fixed an issue that causes sl_bt_connection_get_tx_power() and sl_bt_connection_get_remote_tx_power() to return an error when they are called with phy value sl_bt_gap_phy_coding_500k_coded.
1069081| Fixed the vendor specific deinit command not working properly when called over HCI.
1069305| The stack now adds the device name to scan response data packet as needed when handling the command sl_bt_legacy_advertiser_generate_data() for generating advertising data for legacy advertising PDUs.
1069609| Fixed an issue that makes it impossible to set scan parameters via command sl_bt_cmd_scanner_set_parameters() when the component bluetooth_feature_scanner is used, but neither the bluetooth_feature_legacy_scanner nor bluetooth_feature_extended_scanner is.
1078436| Fixed the issue in Bluetooth SDK versions 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.2.0, and 4.2.1, where devices previously bonded with using Bluetooth SDK versions 3.3.2 or earlier appear to be not bonded.

Known Issues in the Current Release

Issues in bold were added since the previous release. If you have missed a release, recent release notes are available on https://www.si- labs.com/developers/bluetooth-low-energy in the Tech Docs tab

ID #| Description|

Workaround

---|---|---
361592| The sync_data event does not report TX power.| None
368403| If setting CTE interval to 1, a CTE request should be sent in every connection interval. But it is sent only in every second connection interval.| None
641122| The Bluetooth stack component does not provide a configuration for RF antenna path.| This is an issue specifically for BGM210P. One workaround is to manually update the configuration in sl_bluetooth_config.h in text edit mode.
If the OTA with Apploader is used, include the bluetooth_feature_ota_config component in application project. Call command sl_bt_ota_set_rf_path() to set the RF path for OTA mode.
650079| LE 2M PHY on EFR32[B|M]G12 and EFR32[B|M]G13 doesn’t work with smartphones using the Mediatek Helio chip due to an interoperability issue.| No workaround exists. For application development and testing, the disconnection can be avoided by disabling 2M PHY with sl_bt_connection_set_preferred_phy() or sl_bt_connection_set_default_preferred_phy().
682198| The Bluetooth stack has an interoperability issue on the 2M PHY with a Windows PC.| No workaround exists. For application development and testing, the disconnection can be avoided by disabling 2M PHY with sl_bt_connection_set_preferred_phy() or sl_bt_connection_set_default_preferred_phy().
730692| 4-7% packet error rate is observed on EFR32M|BG13 devices when RSSI is between -25 and -10 dBm. The PER is nominal (as per the datasheet) both above and below this range.|

None

756253| The RSSI value on a Bluetooth connection returned by the Bluetooth API is incorrect on EFR32M|B1, EFR32M|B12, EFR32M|B13, and EFR32M|B21 devices. On EFR32M|B21 devices. It is about 8~10 dBm higher than the actual value, according to a measurement.| Install the “RAIL Utility, RSSI” component in the application project. This component provides a default RSSI offset for the chip that is applied at the RAIL level and can help to achieve more accurate RSSI measurements.
845506| When the Bluetooth_feature_afh component for AFH is included, the feature initialization always enables AFH.| To include the component but not to enable AFH at device boot, change the parameter value from 1 to 0 in the function call of sl_btctrl_init_afh() in sl_bt_stack_init.c.
1031031| Changing the configuration in the bt_aoa_host_locator application results in crash in the application.| None
1169496| There is an issue in the Bluetooth link layer that may cause a multiprotocol application using the BLE advertisements to crash after running for a long time.
This issues does not exist on newer Bluetooth SDK versions.|

None

7.3 Fixed Issues
Fixed in release 5.1.4.0

and OpenThread ping traffic.

Fixed in release 5.1.3.0

1118077

| In the CMP RCP, Spinel messages were being dropped under heavy traffic load due to CPC not keeping up with the incoming packets. Fixed this by bundling all Spinel messages ready to be sent over CPC into one payload on the RCP, and unbundling them on the host. This dramatically improves the efficiency of CPC so that it can keep up with the incoming radio traffic.
1113498,1135805,
1139990, 1143344| **** Fixed multiple intermittent Zigbeed crashes and asserts that could be triggered when joining many Zigbee devices simultaneously to the CMP RCP.

Fixed in release 5.1.2.0

temporarily busy.
1129821| Fixed null pointer dereference in Zigbeed when receiving a packet if no buffers are available.

Fixed in release 5.1.0.0

reconnecting after the first disconnection.
1068435| Fixed Green Power bidirectional commissioning timing issue. Certification test case GPP 5.4.1.23 passes.
1074593| Fixed issue in which Just-in-time (JIT) messages to sleepy end devices were not sent correctly by Zigbeed + RCP.
1076235| Fixed issue where ot-cli failed to run in the multiprotocol docker container.

1085498| Fixed an issue where Zigbeed was not sending rejoin responses to sleepy end devices indirectly.
1090915| Fixed issue where multiple 0x38 errors appeared when attempting to either open a Zigbee endpoint on the Z3GatewayCPC OR to set EZSP parameters without resetting the CPC NCP.

Fixed in release 5.0.0.0

if BlueZ sent two at once.
834191| Improved the CPU utilization of the cpc-hci-bridge helper application.
1025713| Increased max length of Zigbeed device path to 4096.
1036622| Fixed a problem using cmake to build ot-cli using the multi-PAN RCP.
1040127| CPC security was failing to initialize for the rcp-uart-802154 and rcp-spi-802154 projects on MG13 and MG14 series parts. To work around this issue, mbedtls_entropy_adc has been added as entropy source for these parts. That might prevent the ADC from being used in combination with CPC security.
1066422| Fixed an intermittent buffer leak in Zigbeed.
1068429| Fixed a race condition that could cause the CMP RCP to assert.
1068435| Added capability on the RCP node to check and buffer a single bidirectional Green Power data frame and send it out upon rx offset timeout.
