you might want to compare what conf packet the hciattach_rtk code is sending. I have seen the Broadcom one send also different ones. I would attempt to duplicate what they did and check what is happening. Also I might have a bug in my sliding window accounting. I have seen these timeouts with Broadcom as well, but was never able to track it down. Maybe some TX packet processing is stalled.

If this is just an out-of-order ACK or is this one that should be send to acknowledge an event that comes after the firmware download. The PKT_TYPE_ACK is a HCI transport detail and thus has nothing to do with HCI commands send via __hci_cmd_sync.

H:4 (UART) and H:5 (3-Wire UART) and H:2 (USB) are just transports for HCI. The extra headers or sync packets is their problem. This is hidden from the Bluetooth core that can send HCI commands, events etc.

Can you include the btmon part here. We might need to compare on what HCI events the firmware download causes. It could be well that there should be just a sleep so that the 3-Wire transport can settle and we cause an ACK to send. My code is rather simplistic when it goes for an ACK vs just the next TX packet acking the previous received one. Maybe that is also racy.

Regards

Marcel
