We are using PC-BLE-DRIVER-JS for our central and zephyr in our peripheral (833).
The central bonded with the peripheral only when the id (IRK) param in our central is set to true.
If IRK set to false the central will not bond with the peripheral.
Only on zephyr we needed to set it to true, on NRF52 we didnt need to set it.
How does IRK work? Why must it be set to enable bonding sec parameters?
code snap(from our central, on authenticate method):
:
const secParamsCentral: SecurityParameters = {
bond: true,
mitm: true,
lesc: true,
keypress: false,
