bluetooth linker not connected

[zephyrbot]

Reported by Tamra Oyama:

Hi all,

When I try to compile the beacon example on my curie arduino 101 using the command, make BOARD=arduino_101, I get the following error.

error: unknown type name ‘bdaddr_t’

I think this happened because the bluetooth is not linked properly? I am using newlib in zephyr/lib/libc instead of minimal. In main.c, I included

bluetooth/bluetooth.h
bluetooth/hci.h

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

There's something incorrect or inaccurate in the description, since there's not a single instance of the string 'bdaddr_t' in the Zephyr source tree.

Also, I just tried building samples/bluetooth/beacon for BOARD=arduino_101 with latest master and it built just fine.

Hi Manoj,

I am currently using a tinyTILE. I am trying to compile a bluetooth application and I am pretty sure I am getting errors because I am not correctly linking the appropriate bluetooth files. All my other include files seem to be working fine. The only error I can't seem to figure out is,

error: unknown type name ‘bdaddr_t’

These are all the includes I have in my code,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <misc/printk.h>

#include <bluetooth/bluetooth.h>
#include <bluetooth/hci.h>

Thank you!

It seems to me that you must have a reference to bdaddr_t somewhere in your code since the Zephyr source tree contains no such thing. Note that bdaddr_t is a type that does exist for BlueZ, but not for Zephyr, so if you've e.g. tried to copy or write some BlueZ code in your app then it will fail. Closing this since I can't reproduce and this really does look like an issue in the application code.
