>
> The BLE HCI was asserting when it could not allocate a buffer for a command
> and/or an ACL data packet. The proper behavior as per the specification is
> the following:
> 1) If no ACL buffer is available the controller should send the data buffer
> overflow event.
> 2) The spec is not quite clear as to what should be done if there is no
> command buffer available. This should not happen but if it does, we should
> not assert. In this case, our controller will skip the command and simply not
> reply. Not sure what else could be done in this case.
> The other issue with the HCI code was loss of sync. The spec dictates that a
> HW error should be sent on loss of sync. Loss of sync occurs when either an
> invalid HCI packet type is seen or a HCI packet length is out of range.
> The code will now send a HW error when loss of sync occurs. Note that we only
> check ACL data packets for correct length; we dont check commands.
> A final note: these changes are only for the controller only implementation
> currently. The host only implementation need to be done.
