This section lists changes made to the BLE Stack.
| Version | Changes | Reason for Change |
|---|---|---|
| 5.0.10.265 | Updated BLE Stack ATT and GATT. | Updated to fix incorrect return code in error messages. |
| Updated BLE Controller. | Added changes required to qualify for BLE Spec. 5.2. | |
| Updated channel map indication handler. | Optimized the Low-Power-Mode (LPM) performance of PSoC 6 BLE Controller. | |
| Updated Radio TX Power Change Handling Procedure. | The radio TX power change handler was incorrectly being called from interrupt context whereas the ideal location for the same is from the task context. | |
| Enhanced GATT Server implementation. | Updated the GATT server implementation to handle large data base (> 512 entries). | |
| Re-factored Shutdown code for Dual CPU mode. | Improved the handling of Cy_BLE_StackShutdown API to avoid timing-sensitive bugs. | |
| 5.0.8.220 | Updated BLE ISR for SoC mode. | Enhanced the BLE ISR to handle LL Channel Map in interrupt context for SoC mode. |
| Updated low-power mode API. | Updated Cy_BLE_ControllerEnterLPM API for handling a scenario where wake-up is initiated by the hardware. | |
| Re-factored Shutdown code for Dual CPU mode. | Improved the handling of Cy_BLE_StackShutdown API to avoid timing-sensitive bugs. | |
| 5.0.7.196 | Updated the APIs to handle the interrupt locking. | A better locking mechanism to avoid potential timing-sensitive bugs. |
| Re-factored the radio initialization sequence. | It was observed that on customer boards, re-factoring the radio initialization sequence provided an improved stability to the reset sequence. | |
| Fix for CVE-2019-16336. | Enforced the length check on incoming LL PDUs to protect against buffer overflows caused by malicious packets. Malformed Data packets will be dropped in the LL. Malformed Control packets will be replied with LL_UNKNOWN_RSP. For detail, refer to the CVE-2019-16336 vulnerability page. | |
| 5.0.6.161 | Updated the radio configuration. | To support the new packages: QFN68 and BGA124. |
| Added checks for Malformed LL PDUs. | LL PDUs with the incorrect length must be replied with LL_UNKNOWN_RSP per latest BLE spec. Also, this prevents against any unknown behavior triggered due to malicious LL PDUs. | |
| Documentation update. | Updated the documentation for the CY_BLE_EVT_RADIO_TEMPERATURE and CY_BLE_EVT_RADIO_VOLTAGE_LEVEL events. | |
| 5.0.5.110 | Optimized the ACL TX path for a better throughput. | The throughput was observed to be low when the stack libraries were linked with MDK libraries. |
| Added support for autonomous feature exchange on connection complete. | Few mobile phone (eg. Droid Turbo) negotiate DLE with TX octets > 27 bytes but do not actually support the DLE feature. This leads to interoperability issues with such phones. An autonomous feature exchange will be triggered when the PSoC 6 device is in master role, and the DLE and PHY update negotiations will be triggered only if the peer supports DLE/PHY update feature. In case PSoC 6 is in a slave role, DLE/PHY update negotiations will not be triggered till the peer initiates a feature exchange procedure and hence exchanges it's feature set. | |
| Added support for configurable PA LDO settings. | It was observed that on customer boards, the output RF TX power was sub-optimal, when the factory settings for PA LDO were used. To fine tune the PA LDO settings at the customer end, the same were now exposed via the paCalConfig member of stackConfig input structure to the Cy_BLE_StackInit API. | |
| Updated RSSI formula. | With the previous formula, there existed a non-linearity in the measured value of RSSI at ~ -50dBm. | |
| The SoC mode library was split into three libraries: host, controller and stack manager. | The new organization structure allows usage of the same controller library with BLESS host, a UART application or any third party host, over a software HCI interface. | |
| Fixed issue with disconnection. | If an LL procedure is on-going, and a disconnect command is issued, the Terminate PDU is not transmitted over the air even after the procedure completes. | |
| Updated Cy_BLE_StackInit API to check that if DLE is disabled, max TX and RX octets must be set to 27 Bytes. | The check for the DLE parameters was not correct for the case when DLE is disabled. | |
| 5.0.4.946 | Fix for CVE-2019-17061. | Updated the handling of LL PDU with LLID 0 to prevent corruption in subsequently received LL PDUs. Such packets will be dropped in the LL, but the peer will be acked for the packet. For detail, refer to the CVE-2019-17061 vulnerability page. |
| Enabled the RSSI reading after the CRC has been received. | The RSSI value was not being updated if deep sleep was enabled in the controller. | |
| Optimized the ACL TX path for a better throughput. | In BLE dual CPU mode, with CM0p running at 25 MHz, the BLE throughput was observed to be sub-optimal. | |
| Added support for the PDL APIs to calculate temperature and Battery monitor output. | New APIs were added to the PDL to calculate the absolute values of the die temperature and radio voltage, using the raw values from the radio. | |
| 5.0.3.935 | 1.Added the option to override the paCal table and LoBuff table from the application. 2.Added the option to set lobuflimit and calvallimit from the application. 3.Updated the PA LDO settings to use the settings recommended by the designers. | Additional flexibility is provided to obtain an optimal output power at the user's board. The new PA LDO setting recommended by the designers results in the ~ 1dBm higher output power (measured using Cypress 001 kits) at the 4dBm setting. |
| The local SCA with PILO is enabled to be set to 500 ppm. | The PILO frequency accuracy is of the order of 500 ppm. | |
| The BLE SMP pairing vulnerability fix: 1.Added the public key validation check for the remote key. 2.Updated the documentation for the Cy_BLE_GAP_GenerateSetLocalP256Keys() API, to recommend the application to update the private key as mentioned in the BLE Core spec 5.0 Vol. 3 Part H, Section 2.3.6. 3.Added the feature bit mask for the remote public key validation. | The update to comply with BLE Core Specification Errata 10734. | |
1.When none of the BLE hardware engines are active, disable the hardware auto wakeup feature before entering deep sleep mode. | The fix for a spurious interrupt triggered by the link layer hardware when the firmware continuously enters/exits deep sleep mode. | |
| 5.0.2.917 | Added a new BLE event - CY_BLE_EVT_GAP_ADV_TX, which is triggered on transmission of an ADV packet (if this feature is enabled). | Support for BLE mesh. |
| Dual CPU mode: Stack Shutdown sequence modified to shut down controller before sending CY_BLE_EVT_STACK_SHUTDOWN_COMPLETE event. | The controller was shut-down after informing the application that shutdown had been completed. | |
| Updated the Cy_BLE_HAL_BlessInterruptHandler API to return status. | This return parameter indicates that user should call Cy_BLE_ProcessEvents() to process pending BLE Stack events. | |
| 5.0.1.906 | Added check for any pending real time procedures before allowing autonomous PHY update request. | Autonomous PHY update request was being initiated without a check for "LL control procedure collision". |
| Fixed memory allocation failure issue observed when initializing buffer pool for ACL Rx Packet. | Memory allocation failure was observed when DLE Rx Octet < TxOctet. | |
| Added support to disconnect LE link whenever there is real-time LL procedure collision. | Consistent with BLE Spec 5.0 erratum 7106 | |
| Added support for PILO. | PSoC 6 BLE supports a Precision ILO which can be used as an LF clock source instead of the WCO. | |
| 5.0.0.898 | Enhancement is done to rerun the scheduler on close CE, if the event about to be scheduled is in past. | Blocking flash write operation blocks the CPU from executing any interrupts (including BLESS isr) for > 17ms, Due to this, if the CI for connection is smaller than 17ms, the BLE link will disconnect. |
| The calibration target value for the Max output power level is modified under the user-defined condition. | The enhancement to support the 5dBm Tx power in the BLE stack. | |
| 5.0.0.855 | Changed the input parameter for the Cy_BLE_SetCustomEventMask() API from (uint8* mask) to (uint32 mask). | Consistent with the bit mask scheme. |
| 1.The timer context was never reset, it is made to reset during the Stack shutdown. 2.The timer context was not freed even when the timer start failed. It is made free when the timer start fails due to any reason. | The Cy_BLE_GAPC_StopScan() function returns CY_BLE_ERROR_MAX when the Cy_BLE_GAPC_StopScan() function is called to stop a previously-initiated scanning procedure. This issue occurs only when the authentication procedure is occurring and the application tries to stop the scan | |
| 1.The DLE control procedure timer is started only if the queuing Data Length Request in the Hardware FIFO is successful. 2.Added checks to handle the race condition between the ACK processing and Handling data PDU's from the Host. | Unexpected disconnection due to an LMP Response timeout in the embedded stress application. This issue is due to: | |
| 5.0.0.785 | Initial BLE Stack version. |
