Bluetooth: Gaming Audio Profile Shell

This document describes how to run the Gaming Audio Profile shell functionality. Unlike most other low-layer profiles, GMAP is a profile that exists and has a service (GMAS) on all devices. Thus both the initiator and acceptor (or central and peripheral) should do a discovery of the remote device’s GMAS to see what GMAP roles and features they support.

Using the GMAP Shell

When the Bluetooth stack has been initialized (bt init), the GMAS can be registered by by calling gmap init. It is also strongly suggested to enable BAP via bap init.

uart:~$ gmap --help
gmap - Bluetooth GMAP shell commands
Subcommands:
  init      : [none]
  set_role  : [ugt | ugg | bgr | bgs]
  discover  : [none]
  ac_1      : Unicast audio configuration 1
  ac_2      : Unicast audio configuration 2
  ac_3      : Unicast audio configuration 3
  ac_4      : Unicast audio configuration 4
  ac_5      : Unicast audio configuration 5
  ac_6_i    : Unicast audio configuration 6(i)
  ac_6_ii   : Unicast audio configuration 6(ii)
  ac_7_ii   : Unicast audio configuration 7(ii)
  ac_8_i    : Unicast audio configuration 8(i)
  ac_8_ii   : Unicast audio configuration 8(ii)
  ac_11_i   : Unicast audio configuration 11(i)
  ac_11_ii  : Unicast audio configuration 11(ii)
  ac_12     : Broadcast audio configuration 12
  ac_13     : Broadcast audio configuration 13
  ac_14     : Broadcast audio configuration 14

The set_role command can be used to change the role at runtime, assuming that the device supports the role (the GMAP roles depend on some BAP configurations).

Example Central with GMAP UGT role

Connect and establish Gaming Audio streams using Audio Configuration (AC) 3 (some logging has been omitted for clarity):

uart:~$ bt init
uart:~$ bap init
uart:~$ gmap init
uart:~$ bt connect <address>
uart:~$ gatt exchange-mtu
uart:~$ bap discover

uart:~$ cap_initiator discover
