Hi,

If you are simply after setting up a peripheral with a gatt server to test your central side app you could look at our new tool yggdrasil (this might be renamed for the final release). You can find a blog for it here. Another option would be to use lightblue for iOS or a similar tool to run on your smartphone to configure the phone as a peripheral with a gatt server.

Perhaps you could use Nordic's Python API and a PC as the proxy for your hardware (github.com/.../pc-ble-driver).

I'm just starting to review it for comparable needs myself and I'm not yet sure if it has sufficient functionality. Perhaps others on the forum can give us some guidance.

Nikolaus, yes I looked into BDS and used it to develop my services and characteristics but it has some bug the I confirmed with Nordic that won't let it export my code. This must be a common problem for companies developing BLE products so I was hoping their would be a solution.

Have you checked out Bluetooth Developer Studio? It's a GUI for designing BLE services that you can then export as code.
