BLE peripheral application

Overview

This application is a sample implementation of device using GAP peripheral role. It does not implement any particular profile, instead it registers couple of different services for testing purposes. It can be also used to execute PTS test cases against services it exposes. These services can be controller using debug service (for example, 1st client can interact with services and 2nd client can control them via debug service).

Features:

• All features enabled in application can be controller via config.h file, all parameters are described there.

Installation procedure

The project is located in the projects/dk_apps/features/ble_peripheral folder.

To install the project follow the General Installation and Debugging Procedure.

Manual testing

When enabled in config.h, application will register custom debug service in ATT database with control point (CP) characteristic as follows:

• service UUID is 6b559111-c4df-4660-818e-234f9e17b290
• CP characteristic UUID is 6b559111-c4df-4660-818e-234f9e17b291
• CP characteristic properties are: WRITE, NOTIFY
• CP descriptor: Client Characteristic Configuration
• CP descriptor: Characteristic Presentation Format

Client should enable notifications on CP in order to receive feedback from application.

Following commands can be written to CP (string values) to interact with services registered by application:

- bas set <lvl>         set BAS instance battery level to <lvl>`
- cts adjust <reason>   notify current time with adjust reason <reason>`
                        possible <reason> values:`
                        - manual (manual update)`
                        - tz (timezone)`
                        - dst (daylight saving time)`
                        - reftime (reference time update)`
