BLE_GAP_EVT_TIMEOUT and BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED

[Marius Heil]

Hello,

am I right in assuming the following?

• BLE_GAP_EVT_TIMEOUT with source BLE_GAP_TIMEOUT_SRC_CONN is only returned when a Central is establishing a connection and this establishment times out. Which means that it can never happen for a link where the device is Peripheral.
• BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED is used whenever a Connection is terminated after a BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED has been created. Both for Central and for Peripheral links.

If yes, I guess that the message Sequence chart is missing a Variant #4 with the disconnected event. I also found the naming of BLE_GAP_TIMEOUT_SRC_CONN a little inconvenient because it does not state if it's a timeout from a connection or a timeout of the connecting procedure.

If I understand you correctly the missing variant #4 would be BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED followed by BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED. I will add this to our internal Jira. Thanks for letting us know.

Best regards, Kenneth

Yes, that's right, at least if my assumptions about the Event flow are right :-)
