This is technically a breaking change, but:
a) We need the end handle to do descriptor discovery properly.
b) We have no possible use for the existing definition handle in the
characteristic result IRQ. None of the methods can use it, and therefore
no existing code should be using it in a way that changing it to a
different integer value should break.
Unfortunately NimBLE doesn't make it easy to get the end handle, so also
implement a mechanism to use the following characteristic to calculate
the previous characteristic's end handle.

This fixes two problems with the BTstack implementation of descriptor
discovery:
- The call to gatt_client_discover_characteristic_descriptors needs to have
value_handle set to the starting handle (actually characteristic handle)
to start the search from.
- The BTstack event for a descriptor query result is
GATT_EVENT_ALL_CHARACTERISTIC_DESCRIPTORS_QUERY_RESULT.
With this change the test tests/multi_bluetooth/ble_subscribe.py now passes
when BTstack is instance1 (for BTstack to pass as instance0 requires
gatts_write to support sending an update on BTstack).

This uses MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER() to register
bluetooth_btstack_root_pointers and removes the same from all
mpconfigport.h.

This allows the write to trigger a notification or indication, but only to
subscribed clients. This is different to gatts_notify/gatts_indicate,
which will unconditionally notify/indicate.

Previously, the MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE macro
controlled enabling both the central mode and the GATT client
functionality (because usually the two go together).
This commits adds a new MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_GATT_CLIENT
macro that separately enables the GATT client functionality.
This defaults to MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE.
This also fixes a bug in the NimBLE bindings where a notification
or indication would not be received by a peripheral (acting as client)
as gap_event_cb wasn't handling it. Now both central_gap_event_cb
and peripheral_gap_event_cb share the same common handler for these
events.

Zephyr controllers can be queried for a static address (computed from the
device ID). BlueKitchen already supports this, but make them both use the
same macro to enable the feature.
This allows the application to be notified if any of encrypted,
authenticated and bonded state change, as well as the encryption key size.

This widens the characteristic/descriptor flags to 16-bit, to allow setting
encryption/authentication requirements.
Sets the required flags for NimBLE and btstack implementations.
The BLE.FLAG_* constants will eventually be deprecated in favour of copy
and paste Python constants (like the IRQs).

This allows the application to be notified of changes to the connection
interval, connection latency and supervision timeout.

This requires that the event handlers are called from non-interrupt context
(i.e. the MicroPython scheduler).
This will allow the BLE stack (e.g. NimBLE) to run from the scheduler
rather than an IRQ like PENDSV, and therefore be able to invoke Python
callbacks directly/synchronously. This allows writing Python BLE handlers
for events that require immediate response such as _IRQ_READ_REQUEST (which
was previous a hard IRQ) and future events relating to pairing/bonding.

Instead of having the stack indicate a "start", "data"..., "end", pass
through the data in one callback as an array of chunks of data.
This is because the upcoming non-ringbuffer modbluetooth implementation
cannot buffer the data in the ringbuffer and requires instead a single
callback with all the data, to pass to the Python callback.

Generally a controller should either have its own public address hardcoded,
or loaded by the driver (e.g. cywbt43).
However, for a controller that has no public address where you still want a
long-term stable address, this allows you to use a static address generated
by the port. Typically on STM32 this will be an LAA, but a board might
override this.
Previously the interaction between the different layers of the Bluetooth
stack was different on each port and each stack. This commit defines
common interfaces between them and implements them for cyw43, btstack,
nimble, stm32, unix.
This adds an additional optional parameter to gap_scan() to select active
scanning, where scan responses are returned as well as normal scan results.
This parameter is False by default which retains the existing behaviour.
This commit adds the IRQ_GATTS_INDICATE_DONE BLE event which will be raised
with the status of gatts_indicate (unlike notify, indications require
acknowledgement).
An example of its use is added to ble_temperature.py, and to the multitests
in ble_characteristic.py.
Implemented for btstack and nimble bindings, tested in both directions
between unix/btstack and pybd/nimble.
The goal of this commit is to allow using ble.gatts_notify() at any time,
even if the stack is not ready to send the notification right now. It also
addresses the same issue for ble.gatts_indicate() and ble.gattc_write()
(without response). In addition this commit fixes the case where the
buffer passed to write-with-response wasn't copied, meaning it could be
modified by the caller, affecting the in-progress write.
The changes are:
- gatts_notify/indicate will now run in the background if the ACL buffer is
currently full, meaning that notify/indicate can be called at any time.
- gattc_write(mode=0) (no response) will now allow for one outstanding
write.
- gattc_write(mode=1) (with response) will now copy the buffer so that it
can't be modified by the caller while the write is in progress.
All four paths also now track the buffer while the operation is in
progress, which prevents the GC free'ing the buffer while it's still
needed.
On btstack there's no status associated with the read result, it comes
through as a separate event. This allows you to detect read failures or
timeouts.
This commit allows the user to set/get the GAP device name used by service
0x1800, characteristic 0x2a00. The usage is:
BLE.config(gap_name="myname")
print(BLE.config("gap_name"))
As part of this change the compile-time setting
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_NAME is renamed to
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_GAP_NAME to emphasise its link to GAP and this
new "gap_name" config value. And the default value of this for the NimBLE
bindings is changed from "PYBD" to "MPY NIMBLE" to be more generic.
The latest version of BTstack has a bug fixed so that it correctly
configures scan parameters if they are set right after activating the
stack. This means that BLE.gap_scan() will correctly set the scanning to
passive and so SCAN_RSP events are not passed through, so we don't need to
explicitly filter them in our bindings.
This commit changes the BLE _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT data from:
addr_type, addr, connectable, rssi, adv_data
to:
addr_type, addr, adv_type, rssi, adv_data
This allows _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT to handle all scan result types (not just
connectable and non-connectable passive scans), and to distinguish between
them using adv_type which is an integer taking values 0x00-0x04 per the BT
specification.
This is a breaking change to the API, albeit a very minor one: the existing
connectable value was a boolean and True now becomes 0x00, False becomes
0x02.
Documentation is updated and a test added.
Fixes#5738.
This commit ensures that the BLE stack is active before allowing operations
that may otherwise crash if it's not active. It also clarifies the state
better (adding the "stopping" state) and renames mp_bluetooth_is_enabled to
the more self-explanatory mp_bluetooth_is_active.
