Detailed Description

Function Documentation

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_address_get ( ble_gap_addr_t *const p_addr )

Get local Bluetooth address.

Parameters

[out] p_addr Pointer to address structure.

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS Address successfully retrieved.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_address_set	(	uint8_t	addr_cycle_mode,
		ble_gap_addr_t const *const	p_addr
	)

Set local Bluetooth address.

If the address cycle mode is BLE_GAP_ADDR_CYCLE_MODE_AUTO, the address type is required to be BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_RESOLVABLE or BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_NON_RESOLVABLE. The given address is ignored and the SoftDevice will generate a new private address automatically every time advertising is (re)started, and every BLE_GAP_DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ADDR_CYCLE_INTERVAL_S seconds. If this API call is used again with the same parameters while advertising, the SoftDevice will immediately generate a new private address to replace the current address.

If the application wishes to use a BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC or BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC address, the cycle mode must be BLE_GAP_ADDR_CYCLE_MODE_NONE.

If this API function is called while advertising, the softdevice will immediately update the advertising address without the need to stop advertising in the following cases:

If the previously set address is of type BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC and the new address is also of type BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC
If the previously set address is not BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC and the new address is also not BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC.

If the address is changed from a BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC address to another type or from another type to a BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC address, the change will take effect the next time advertising is started.

Note: If the address cycle mode is BLE_GAP_ADDR_CYCLE_MODE_NONE and the application is using privacy, the application must take care to generate and set new private addresses periodically to comply with the Privacy specification in Bluetooth Core Spec.

Parameters

[in]	addr_cycle_mode	Address cycle mode, see GAP Address cycle modes.
[in]	p_addr	Pointer to address structure.

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS Address successfully set.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM Invalid parameters.; BLE_ERROR_GAP_INVALID_BLE_ADDR Invalid address.; NRF_ERROR_BUSY The stack is busy, process pending events and retry.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set	(	uint8_t const *const	p_data,
		uint8_t	dlen,
		uint8_t const *const	p_sr_data,
		uint8_t	srdlen
	)

Set, clear or update advertisement and scan response data.

Note: The format of the advertisement data will be checked by this call to ensure interoperability. Limitations imposed by this API call to the data provided include having a flags data type in the scan response data and duplicating the local name in the advertisement data and scan response data.; : To clear the advertisement data and set it to a 0-length packet, simply provide a valid pointer (p_data/p_sr_data) with its corresponding length (dlen/srdlen) set to 0.; : The call will fail if p_data and p_sr_data are both NULL since this would have no effect.

Parameters

[in]	p_data	Raw data to be placed in advertisement packet. If NULL, no changes are made to the current advertisement packet data.
[in]	dlen	Data length for p_data. Max size: BLE_GAP_ADV_MAX_SIZE octets. Should be 0 if p_data is NULL, can be 0 if p_data is not NULL.
[in]	p_sr_data	Raw data to be placed in scan response packet. If NULL, no changes are made to the current scan response packet data.
[in]	srdlen	Data length for p_sr_data. Max size: BLE_GAP_ADV_MAX_SIZE octets. Should be 0 if p_sr_data is NULL, can be 0 if p_data is not NULL.

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS Advertisement data successfully updated or cleared.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS Invalid combination of advertising flags supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_DATA Invalid data type(s) supplied, check the advertising data format specification.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_LENGTH Invalid data length(s) supplied.; BLE_ERROR_GAP_UUID_LIST_MISMATCH Invalid UUID list supplied.; NRF_ERROR_BUSY The stack is busy, process pending events and retry.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_auth_key_reply	(	uint16_t	conn_handle,
		uint8_t	key_type,
		uint8_t const *const	key
	)

Reply with an authentication key.

Parameters

[in]	conn_handle	Connection handle.
[in]	key_type	See GAP Authentication Key Types.
[in]	key	If key type is BLE_GAP_AUTH_KEY_TYPE_NONE, then NULL. If key type is BLE_GAP_AUTH_KEY_TYPE_PASSKEY, then a 6-byte ASCII string (digit 0..9 only, no NULL termination). If key type is BLE_GAP_AUTH_KEY_TYPE_OOB, then a 16-byte OOB key value in Little Endian format.

This function is only used to reply to a BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_KEY_REQUEST, calling it at other times will result in an NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE.

Note: If the call returns an error code, the request is still pending, and the reply call may be repeated with corrected parameters.

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS Authentication key successfully set.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM Invalid parameter(s) supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE Invalid state to perform operation.; BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLE Invalid connection handle supplied.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_authenticate	(	uint16_t	conn_handle,
		ble_gap_sec_params_t const *const	p_sec_params
	)

Initiate GAP Authentication procedure.

Parameters

[in]	conn_handle	Connection handle.
[in]	p_sec_params	Pointer to the ble_gap_sec_params_t structure with the security parameters to be used during the pairing procedure.

In the central role, this function will send an SMP Pairing Request, otherwise in the peripheral role, an SMP Security Request will be sent. In the peripheral role, only the timeout, bond and mitm fields of ble_gap_sec_params_t are used.

Note: The GAP Authentication procedure may be triggered by the central without calling this function when accessing a secure service.; Calling this function may result in the following events depending on the outcome and parameters: BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_PARAMS_REQUEST, BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_INFO_REQUEST, BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_KEY_REQUEST, BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS.; The timeout parameter in ble_gap_sec_params_t is interpreted here as the Security Request timeout

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS Successfully initiated authentication procedure.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM Invalid parameter(s) supplied.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE Invalid state to perform operation.; BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLE Invalid connection handle supplied.; NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT A SMP timeout has occured, and further SMP operations on this link is prohibited.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_conn_param_update	(	uint16_t	conn_handle,
		ble_gap_conn_params_t const *const	p_conn_params
	)

Update connection parameters.

In the central role this will initiate a Link Layer connection parameter update procedure, otherwise in the peripheral role, this will send the corresponding L2CAP request and wait for the central to perform the procedure. In both cases, and regardless of success or failure, the application will be informed of the result with a BLE_GAP_EVT_CONN_PARAM_UPDATE event.

Note: If both a connection supervision timeout and a maximum connection interval are specified, then the following constraint applies: (conn_sup_timeout * 8) >= (max_conn_interval * (slave_latency + 1))

Parameters

[in]	conn_handle	Connection handle.
[in]	p_conn_params	Pointer to desired connection parameters. If NULL is provided on a peripheral role, the parameters in the PPCP characteristic of the GAP service will be used instead.

		uint16_t *const	p_len
	)

Parameters

[in]	p_dev_name	Pointer to an empty buffer where the UTF-8 non NULL-terminated string will be placed. Set to NULL to obtain the complete device name length.
[in,out]	p_len	Length of the buffer pointed by p_dev_name, complete device name length on output.

Note: If the device name is longer than the size of the supplied buffer, p_len will return the complete device name length, and not the number of bytes actually returned in p_dev_name. The application may use this information to allocate a suitable buffer size.

Returns: NRF_SUCCESS GAP device name retrieved successfully.; NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR Invalid pointer supplied.; NRF_ERROR_DATA_SIZE Invalid data size(s) supplied.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_device_name_set	(	ble_gap_conn_sec_mode_t const *const	p_write_perm,
