esp_bt_controller-init failed

[Admsher]

Problem Description

I was trying out the SDA2DP example on esp-idf v 5.3 and am stuck with an error in which the Bluetooth init is first acknowledged and then it says init failed.

Device Description

ES32 One: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32_One

Sketch

#define HELIX_LOGGING_ACTIVE false
#include "AudioTools.h"
#include "AudioTools/AudioLibs/A2DPStream.h"
#include "AudioTools/AudioLibs/AudioSourceSDFAT.h"
#include "AudioTools/AudioCodecs/CodecMP3Helix.h"

const char *startFilePath="/music/";
const char* ext="mp3";
AudioSourceSDFAT source(startFilePath, ext, 15);
A2DPStream out;
MP3DecoderHelix decoder;
AudioPlayer player(source, out, decoder);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  AudioToolsLogger.begin(Serial, AudioToolsLogLevel::Warning);
  // setup player
  // Setting up SPI if necessary with the right SD pins by calling 
  SPI.begin(14, 12, 13, 15);
  player.setVolume(0.8);
  player.begin();

  // setup output - We send the test signal via A2DP - so we conect to a Bluetooth Speaker
  auto cfg = out.defaultConfig(TX_MODE);
  cfg.silence_on_nodata = true; // prevent disconnect when there is no audio data
  cfg.name = "CLIP 5";  // set the device here. Otherwise the first available device is used for output
  //cfg.auto_reconnect = true;  // if this is use we just quickly connect to the last device ignoring cfg.name
  out.begin(cfg);
}

void loop() {
  player.copy();
}

Other Steps to Reproduce

enable Bluetooth and BLE in esp-idf which is needed to compile it in the first place. Strangely it works on Arduino IDE

What is your development environment (incl. core version info)

ESP-IDF v5.3

I have checked existing issues, discussions and online documentation

Did you follow the instructions ?

After a second thought: But this does not make any sense to me: IDF doesn't support SPI.begin(14, 12, 13, 15); and
#include "AudioTools/AudioLibs/AudioSourceSDFAT.h"

This only works with the Arudino API!

And finally: I am closing this issue becaus you ignored this basic advice!

I have used arduino-esp32 for the same to include ArduinoSDFAT.h and SDFat in my workspace . I hope it makes sense why these two are in the environment. I also checked the flags and they were enabled in my build.

I have never looked into the Arduino as component scenario, so I can't really help, but my guess would be that it must be related to the configuration: Maybe you can take it from Arduino.

If you find the root cause, please share it with the community!

ps. I found this here: I had the same issue, took me a long time to figure it out, it's a missing "#define ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32", which has something to do with "-DARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32" not configured correctly.

So the issue has been resolved and turns it was indeed an arduino-esp32 issue: espressif/arduino-esp32#11167 this PR resolves the BLE problem.
