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, scanning or creating a connection.
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.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_adv_addr_get ( uint8_t  adv_handle,
ble_gap_addr_t p_addr 
)

Get the Bluetooth device address used by the advertiser.

Note
This function will return the local Bluetooth address used in advertising PDUs. When using privacy, the SoftDevice will generate a new private address every ble_gap_privacy_params_t::private_addr_cycle_s configured using sd_ble_gap_privacy_set. Hence depending on when the application calls this API, the address returned may not be the latest address that is used in the advertising PDUs.
Parameters
[in]adv_handleThe advertising handle to get the address from.
[out]p_addrPointer to address structure to be filled in.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSAddress successfully retrieved.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRInvalid or NULL pointer supplied.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_ADV_HANDLEThe provided advertising handle was not found.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATEThe advertising set is currently not advertising.
uint32_t sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure ( uint8_t *  p_adv_handle,
ble_gap_adv_data_t const *  p_adv_data,
ble_gap_adv_params_t const *  p_adv_params 
)

Configure an advertising set. 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.
In order to update advertising data while advertising, new advertising buffers must be provided.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_next_conn_evt_counter_get ( uint16_t  conn_handle,
uint16_t *  p_counter 
)

Obtain the next connection event counter value.

The connection event counter is initialized to zero on the first connection event. The value is incremented by one for each connection event. For more information see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.0, Vol 6, Part B, Section 4.5.1.

Note
The connection event counter obtained through this API will be outdated if this API is called at the same time as the connection event counter is incremented.
This API will always return the last connection event counter + 1. The actual connection event may be multiple connection events later if:
  • Slave latency is enabled and there is no data to transmit or receive.
  • Another role is scheduled with a higher priority at the same time as the next connection event.
Parameters
[in]conn_handleConnection handle.
[out]p_counterPointer to the variable where the next connection event counter will be written.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSThe connection event counter was successfully retrieved.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLEInvalid connection handle parameter supplied.

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 PHYs based on the peer's PHY preferences and the local link configuration. The PHY Update procedure will for this case result in a PHY combination that respects the time constraints configured with sd_ble_cfg_set and the current link layer data length.

When acting as a central, the SoftDevice will select the fastest common PHY in each direction.

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 Update 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 Update procedure was rejected by the peer for a different reason, the status will contain the reason as specified by the peer.

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_qos_channel_survey_start ( uint32_t  interval_us)

Start the Quality of Service (QoS) channel survey module.

The channel survey module provides measurements of the energy levels on the Bluetooth Low Energy channels. When the module is enabled, BLE_GAP_EVT_QOS_CHANNEL_SURVEY_REPORT events will periodically report the measured energy levels for each channel.

Note
The measurements are scheduled with lower priority than other Bluetooth Low Energy roles, Radio Timeslot API events and Flash API events.
The channel survey module will attempt to do measurements so that the average interval between measurements will be interval_us. However due to the channel survey module having the lowest priority of all roles and modules, this may not be possible. In that case fewer than expected channel survey reports may be given.
In order to use the channel survey module, ble_gap_cfg_role_count_t::qos_channel_survey_role_available must be set. This is done using sd_ble_cfg_set.
Parameters
[in]interval_usRequested average interval for the measurements and reports. See Quality of Service (QoS) Channel survey interval defines for valid ranges. If set to BLE_GAP_QOS_CHANNEL_SURVEY_INTERVAL_CONTINUOUS, the channel survey role will be scheduled at every available opportunity.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSThe module is successfully started.

Supported tx_power values: -40dBm, -20dBm, -16dBm, -12dBm, -8dBm, -4dBm, 0dBm, +3dBm and +4dBm.
The initiator will have the same transmit power as the scanner.
When a connection is created it will inherit the transmit power from the initiator or advertiser leading to the connection.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSSuccessfully changed the transmit power.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMInvalid parameter(s) supplied.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_ADV_HANDLEAdvertising handle not found.
BLE_ERROR_INVALID_CONN_HANDLEInvalid connection handle 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.
