Detailed Description

Function Documentation

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_addr_get ( ble_gap_addr_t p_addr)

Get local Bluetooth identity address.

Note
This will always return the identity address irrespective of the privacy settings, i.e. the address type will always be either BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC or BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC.
Parameters
[out]p_addrPointer to address structure to be filled in.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSAddress successfully retrieved.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRInvalid or NULL pointer supplied.
uint32_t sd_ble_gap_addr_set ( ble_gap_addr_t const *  p_addr)

Set the local Bluetooth identity address.

   The local Bluetooth identity address is the address that identifies this device to other peers.
   The address type must be either @ref BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC or @ref BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC.
Note
The identity address cannot be changed while advertising.
This address will be distributed to the peer during bonding. If the address changes, the address stored in the peer device will not be valid and the ability to reconnect using the old address will be lost.
By default the SoftDevice will set an address of type BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC upon being enabled. The address is a random number populated during the IC manufacturing process and remains unchanged for the lifetime of each IC.

Parameters
[in]p_addrPointer to address structure.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSAddress successfully set.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRInvalid pointer supplied.
BLE_ERROR_GAP_INVALID_BLE_ADDRInvalid address.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYThe stack is busy, process pending events and retry.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATEThe identity address cannot be changed while advertising.
uint32_t sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set ( uint8_t const *  p_data,
uint8_t  dlen,
uint8_t const *  p_sr_data,
uint8_t  srdlen 
)

Set, clear or update advertising and scan response data.

Note
The format of the advertising 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 advertising data and scan response data.
To clear the advertising 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.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_phy_update ( uint16_t  conn_handle,
ble_gap_phys_t const *  p_gap_phys 
)

Initiate or respond to a PHY Update Procedure.

This function is used to initiate or respond to a PHY Update Procedure. It will always generate a BLE_GAP_EVT_PHY_UPDATE event if successfully executed. If this function is used to initiate a PHY Update procedure and the only option provided in ble_gap_phys_t::tx_phys and ble_gap_phys_t::rx_phys is the currently active PHYs in the respective directions, the SoftDevice will generate a BLE_GAP_EVT_PHY_UPDATE with the current PHYs set and will not initiate the procedure in the Link Layer. If ble_gap_phys_t::tx_phys or ble_gap_phys_t::rx_phys is BLE_GAP_PHY_AUTO, then the stack will select a PHY for the respective direction based on the peer's PHY preferences and the local stack configuration. If the peer does not support the PHY Update Procedure, then the resulting BLE_GAP_EVT_PHY_UPDATE event will have a status set to BLE_HCI_UNSUPPORTED_REMOTE_FEATURE. If the PHY procedure was rejected by the peer due to a procedure collision, the status will be BLE_HCI_STATUS_CODE_LMP_ERROR_TRANSACTION_COLLISION or BLE_HCI_DIFFERENT_TRANSACTION_COLLISION. If the peer responds to the PHY Update procedure with invalid parameters, the status will be BLE_HCI_STATUS_CODE_INVALID_LMP_PARAMETERS. If the PHY procedure was rejected by the peer for a different reason, the status will contain the reason as specified by the peer.

Get the received signal strength for the last connection event.

   @ref sd_ble_gap_rssi_start must be called to start reporting RSSI before using this function. @ref NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
   will be returned until RSSI was sampled for the first time after calling @ref sd_ble_gap_rssi_start.

   A new event is reported whenever the RSSI value changes, until @ref sd_ble_gap_rssi_stop is called.
Events generated
BLE_GAP_EVT_RSSI_CHANGEDNew RSSI data available. How often the event is generated is dependent on the settings of the threshold_dbm and skip_count input parameters.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_rssi_stop ( uint16_t  conn_handle)

Stop reporting the received signal strength.

Note
An RSSI change detected before the call but not yet received by the application may be reported after sd_ble_gap_rssi_stop has been called.

Parameters

Reply with GAP security information.

This function is only used to reply to a BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_INFO_REQUEST, calling it at other times will result in 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.
Data signing is not yet supported, and p_sign_info must therefore be NULL.

[in]p_enc_infoPointer to a ble_gap_enc_info_t encryption information structure. May be NULL to signal none is available.
[in]p_id_infoPointer to a ble_gap_irk_t identity information structure. May be NULL to signal none is available.
[in]p_sign_infoPointer to a ble_gap_sign_info_t signing information structure. May be NULL to signal none is available.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSSuccessfully accepted security information.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMInvalid parameter(s) supplied.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATEInvalid state to perform operation.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLEInvalid connection handle supplied.

Reply with GAP security parameters.

This function is only used to reply to a BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_PARAMS_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.

Parameters
[in]conn_handleConnection handle.
[in]sec_statusSecurity status, see GAP Security status.
[in]p_sec_paramsPointer to a ble_gap_sec_params_t security parameters structure.
[in,out]p_sec_keysetPointer to a ble_gap_sec_keyset_t security keyset structure. Any keys generated and/or distributed as a result of the ongoing security procedure will be stored into the memory referenced by the pointers inside this structure. The keys will be stored and available to the application upon reception of a BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS event. Note that the SoftDevice expects the application to provide memory for storing the peer's keys. So it must be ensured that the relevant pointers inside this structure are not NULL. The pointers to the local key can, however, be NULL, in which case, the local key data will not be available to the application upon reception of the BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS event.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSSuccessfully accepted security parameter from the application.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRInvalid pointer supplied.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYThe stack is busy, process pending events and retry.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMInvalid parameter(s) supplied.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATEInvalid state to perform operation.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLEInvalid connection handle supplied.
NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDSetting of sign or link fields in ble_gap_sec_kdist_t not supported.
uint32_t sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set ( int8_t  tx_power)

Set the radio's transmit power.

Parameters
[in]tx_powerRadio transmit power in dBm (accepted values are -40, -20, -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, 3, and 4 dBm).
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSSuccessfully changed the transmit power.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMInvalid parameter(s) supplied.
uint32_t sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set ( ble_gap_addr_t const *const *  pp_wl_addrs,
uint8_t  len 
)

Set the active whitelist in the SoftDevice.

Note
Only one whitelist can be used at a time and the whitelist is shared between the BLE roles. The whitelist cannot be set if a BLE role is using the whitelist.
If an address is resolved using the information in the device identity list, then the whitelist filter policy applies to the peer identity address and not the resolvable address sent on air.
Parameters
[in]pp_wl_addrsPointer to a whitelist of peer addresses, if NULL the whitelist will be cleared.
[in]lenLength of the whitelist, maximum BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSThe whitelist is successfully set/cleared.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRThe whitelist (or one of its entries) provided is invalid.
BLE_ERROR_GAP_WHITELIST_IN_USEThe whitelist is in use by a BLE role and cannot be set or cleared.
BLE_ERROR_GAP_INVALID_BLE_ADDRInvalid address type is supplied.
NRF_ERROR_DATA_SIZEThe given whitelist size is invalid (zero or too large); this can only return when pp_wl_addrs is not NULL.
