I am trying to extend an older 1.7.0 SDK to add functional BT support, which currently only has serial port communications. i don't really understand the terms for the functional parts, and understand the sdk is replaced with new..

the provider has provided source for their firmware which provides serial port communications to control operation only in old sdk 1.7.0 format

I need to use some other approach..

I would like to use pairing to connect my app to the local device

and then the local device would be ble central

and remotes would be ble peripheral 

today the 'same' firmware is loaded on both identical devices

but my testing will have a different local device using the 52840 and the remote is 52833

so my firmware update should be able to distinguish how to operate, I 'think' this is different boards and different binary builds. 

my app would pair with the local device (should only ever connect to ONE local device, during initial setup, the device is nearby)

there 'is' a possibility that there COULD be multiple instances of the same local device within bt range, so want to preclude ever seeing talking to others

in the future these devices would be BT6 with channel sounding support. but still architected this way to minimize dependencies.

data traffic from app to local device is low, done with BT notification (using ble).. 

I suppose I could store persistent data on both app device and local device with some key/identifier to be able to use only ble (one of the future devices says single mode bt, aka ble only)

but I still don't understand how to configure the 1.7.0 sdk to add the function that I can use.   the java config app assumes you know what the words/terminology means

and understand the concurrence (this function and not that) restrictions..

the provider has another instance using the 1.7.0 sdk  with BT ble peripheral only (but does not have serial port comms at all) 

extending their firmware is an exercise for the user (me!).. so trying to get my head around the config 

I can build each w the segger IDE, so that part is ready.

I have flashed the build with the IDE as well and command line tools.. so have that

have ble code that does most of what I want in both ios and android.. so have ble experience.  now to get runtime in the right config..

  • no... I want to add the BLE services to this build.. on the 840 peripheral(really server in pairing style to talk to my phone app) and central (to be UCI controller), and on the 833, peripheral only(to control UCI controllee)

    I do NOT want to rewrite the UWB support.. 
    I asked an earlier question here about migrating this to the new sdk under VS, and was told, No, we don't have that.

    in the future (after I get this working with my app) I would do a pure BT implementation using 
    ble between phone and localdevice , and bt(master) with CS to BT(slaves) wi CS
