The nRF Desktop needs an address filter per every bonded peripheral.

CONFIG_BT_SCAN_CONN_ATTEMPTS_FILTER

(unknown)

The connection attempts filter is enabled by default to limit number of attempts to connect to the device.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_BLE_SCAN_START_TIMEOUT_S

(int) Scan start timeout [s]

After disabled, scanning is re-enabled after defined time of connected peripherals inactivity (scanning has negative impact on user experience - e.g. may cause mouse pointer lags).

This option enables an alternative method of performing DFU using the MCUmgr module.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_DFU_MCUMGR_MCUBOOT_DIRECT_XIP

(bool) Device uses MCUboot bootloader in direct-xip mode

The option informs the MCUmgr DFU module that the MCUboot bootloader supports direct-xip mode. In this mode, the image is booted directly from the secondary slot instead of moving it to the primary slot. The module by default assumes that MCUboot with direct-xip is used when direct-xip variant image is built.

The MCUmgr DFU module assumes that MCUboot direct-xip bootloader simply boots the image with a higher version. The module does not confirm the newly updated image after a successful boot.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_SWIFT_PAIR_ADV_GENERAL_PEER

(bool) Enable Swift Pair advertising payload for general Bluetooth peers

Enable Swift Pair advertising payload for general Bluetooth peers.

This option enables HID over GATT Service application module.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_HIDS_FIRST_REPORT_DELAY

(int) First HID report delay [ms]

If set to non-zero, the peripheral will delay sending first HID report after the connection security was established. This is done to ensure that central will be ready to receive the data. nRF Desktop centrals reenable the subscriptions on every reconnection. HID report is dropped if received before the subscription was reenabled.

By default, nRF Desktop keyboard uses a delay of 500 ms to prevent dropping HID reports right after reconnection.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_HIDS_SUBSCRIBER_PRIORITY

(int) HID service reports subscriber priority

HID Service over GATT reports subscriber priority. The lower value means the lower priority in subscribtion to HID reports. By default, the HID service uses the lowest possible priority.

CONFIG_BT_HIDS_ATTR_MAX

The maximum number of GATT attribute descriptors for HIDS is set assuming that nRF Desktop peripheral supports all of the HID input and output reports defined in default configuration for the selected peripheral type, boot protocol and HID feature report used by the configuration channel.

Make sure to update the value if you enable additional HID reports.

CONFIG_BT_HIDS_INPUT_REP_MAX

(unknown)

nRF Desktop Bluetooth peripheral by default uses HID output reports for configuration channel and keyboard LEDs.

CONFIG_BT_HIDS_FEATURE_REP_MAX

(unknown)

nRF Desktop Bluetooth peripheral by default uses HID feature report only for the configuration channel.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_OUT_REPORT

(bool) Enable additional HID output report

Use additional HID output report for configuration channel data transfer. The HID output report is used only by nRF Desktop dongle, other hosts use the HID feature report.

For HID output reports, the dongle can use write without response. In that case LLPM peripheral does not have to respond instead of providing HID notification during one connection event.

Using HID output report prevents report rate drops when forwarding configuration channel data, but it increases memory consumption of the peripheral.

The config channel HID output report is handled in a dedicated way. It does not use the same infrastructure as other HID output reports.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_TIMEOUT

(int) Transaction timeout on configuration channel in seconds

Timeout [s] after which config channel transaction is dropped.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DFU_ENABLE

(bool) DFU over the config channel

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DFU_SYNC_BUFFER_SIZE

(int) Size (in words) of sync buffer

Number of words DFU data synchronization buffer will use. The new image data is first transmitted to this RAM located buffer. When host performs progress synchronization the data is moved from RAM to flash. The host must perform progress synchronization at least every synchronization buffer bytes count.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DFU_MCUBOOT_DIRECT_XIP

(bool) Device uses MCUboot bootloader in direct-xip mode

The option informs the DFU module that the MCUboot bootloader supports direct-xip mode. In this mode, the image is booted directly from the secondary slot instead of moving it to the primary slot. The module by default assumes that MCUboot with direct-xip is used when direct-xip variant image is built.

The DFU module assumes that MCUboot direct-xip bootloader simply boots the image with a higher version. The module does not mark the newly uploaded image as pending nor confirm it after a successful boot.

CONFIG_DESKTOP_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DFU_VID

CONFIG_DESKTOP_HFCLK_LOCK_ENABLE

(bool) Keep HF clock enabled

Keeping the HF clock enabled is needed to reduce the latency before the first packet (in a row) is transmitted over the BLE. If disabled a startup delay of around 1.5 ms will be added to overall latency of the first packet. If enabled current consumption is increased.

(bool) Constant latency interrupts

When enabled SoC will use configuration for constant latency interrupts. This reduces interrupt propagation time but increases power consumption.
