![]() This updates the minimal supported version of CMake to 3.16, which in turn enables us to use more CMake features and have a cleaner build system. This is the version that provides most new features and also the one we use in our latest docker image for CI. |

Hands-Free Audio Gateway (HF-AG)
This example is to show how to use the APIs of Hands-Free Audio Gateway (hf_ag) Component and the effects of them by providing a set of commands. You can use this example to communicate with a device that implements Hands-Free Client Role (e.g. a headphone set).
How to use example
Hardware Required
This example is designed to run on commonly available ESP32 development board, e.g. ESP32-DevKitC. To operate this example, it should be connected to a Hands-Free Client running on a Headphone/Headset or on another ESP32 development board loaded with hfp_hf example of ESP-IDF.
Configure the project
Open the project configuration menu:
idf.py menuconfig
Special Configurations for HFP
Data Path
ESP32 HFP supports two types of audio datapath: PCM and HCI.
The default configuration is PCM
, if you want to use vHCI
you should configure the data path before building and downloading the binary.
-
PCM: To use PCM, audio stream is directed from Bluetooth controller to the specific GPIO pins you set in the demo, and you should link these GPIO pins to a speaker via I2S port. The audio data will not go through the
Bluedroid
. In menuconfig, you should choose PCM inmenuconfig
path:Component config --> Bluetooth controller --> BR/EDR Sync(SCO/eSCO) default data path --> PCM
and also
Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Hands Free/Handset Profile --> audio(SCO) data path --> PCM
. -
vHCI: To use vHCI, audio data stream will be directed from Bluetooth Controller through vHCI on ESP32 and go through the Bluedroid to the Application layer. In menuconfig, you should choose vHCI in
menuconfig
path:Component config --> Bluetooth controller --> BR/EDR Sync(SCO/eSCO) default data path --> HCI
and also
Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Hands Free/Handset Profile --> audio(SCO) data path --> HCI
.
Codec Choice
ESP32 supports two types of codec for HFP audio data: CVSD
and mSBC
.
CVSD
is the default setting and is also the widely used codec for voice audio. But, mSBC
is designed to have a better voice quality through HFP
. To select which one is in use, we provide Wide Band Speech
item in the menuconfig
:
Component config --> Bluetooth --> Bluedroid Options --> Wide Band Speech.
Switching on the Wide Band Speech
means that the preferred codec is mSBC
, but which one is actually being used also depends on the Data Path
configuration.
-
If you choose
PCM
for datapath, you can only useCVSD
and hardware is responsible for the codec job. In the meanwhile, you cannot usemSBC
by switchingWide Band Speech
on, because themSBC
is implemented in the Bluedroid (Bluetooth Host Stack) by software. -
If you choose
vHCI
for datapath withWide Band Speech
on, codec job is done in the Bluedroid and mSBC is being used. -
If you choose
vHCI
for datapath withWide Band Speech
off, hardware is responsible for the codec job andCVSD
is in use.
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board. Then, run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-]
.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
Example Output
When you flash and monitor this example, the commands help table prints the following log at the very begining:
Type 'help' to get the list of commands.
Use UP/DOWN arrows to navigate through command history.
Press TAB when typing command name to auto-complete.

=================================================
Service Level Connection and Disconnection
You can type con
to establish a service level connection with HF Unit device and log prints such as:
W (2211) BT_APPL: new conn_srvc id:5, app_id:0
I (2221) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CONNECTION_STATE_EVT
I (2221) BT_APP_HF: --connection state CONNECTED, peer feats 0x0, chld_feats 0x0
I (2291) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CIND_RESPONSE_EVT
I (2291) BT_APP_HF: --CIND Start.
I (2331) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CONNECTION_STATE_EVT
I (2331) BT_APP_HF: --connection state SLC_CONNECTED, peer feats 0xff, chld_feats 0x4010
Note: Only after Hands-free Profile(HFP) service is initialized and a service level connection exists between an HF Unit and an AG device, could other commands be available.
You can type dis
to disconnect with the connected HF Unit device, and log prints such as:
disconnect
W (77321) BT_RFCOMM: port_rfc_closed RFCOMM connection in state 2 closed: Closed (res: 19)
I (77321) BT_APP_HF: APP HFP event: CONNECTION_STATE_EVT

W (77381) BT_RFCOMM: RFCOMM_DisconnectInd LCID:0x41
Audio Connection and Disconnection
You can type cona
to establish the audio connection between HF Unit and AG device. Also, you can type disa
to close the audio data stream.
Scenarios for Audio Connection
- Answer an incoming call
- Enable voice recognition
- Dial an outgoing call
Scenarios for Audio Disconnection
- Reject an incoming call
- Disable the voice recognition
Choice of Codec
ESP32 supports both CVSD and mSBC codec. HF Unit and AG device determine which codec to use by exchanging features during service level connection. The choice of codec also depends on the your configuration in menuconfig
.
Since CVSD is the default codec in HFP, we just show the scenarios using mSBC:
- If you enable
BT_HFP_WBS_ENABLE
inmenuconfig
, mSBC will be available. - If both HF Unit and AG support mSBC and
BT_HFP_WBS_ENABLE
is enabled, ESP32 chooses mSBC. - If you use PCM data path, mSBC is not available.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems, please check if the following rules are followed:
- You should type the command in the terminal according to the format described in the commands help table.
- Not all commands in the table are supported by the HF Unit.
- If you want to
hf con;
to establish a service level connection with a specific HF Unit, you should add the MAC address of the HF Unit inapp_hf_msg_set.c
for example:esp_bd_addr_t peer_addr = {0xb4, 0xe6, 0x2d, 0xeb, 0x09, 0x93};
- Use
esp_hf_client_register_callback()
andesp_hf_client_init();
before establishing a service level connection.
Example Breakdown
Due to the complexity of the HFP, this example has more source files than other bluetooth examples. To show the functions of HFP in a simple way, we use the Commands and Effects scheme to illustrate APIs of the HFP in ESP-IDF.
