Is it possible to use ble_gattc with S110?

[NrfFan]

Hi,

I have an nRF51822-based peripheral with S110 softdevice, and it would be handy if I could nose around central's capabilities when it connects my device (I'd like to read out GAP device name, for starters).

The API to make GATTC stuff is present in S110, though when I call functions like sd_ble_gattc_primary_services_discover() I receive BLE_GATTC_EVT_PRIM_SRVC_DISC_RSP with evt->evt.gattc_evt.params.prim_srvc_disc_rsp.count == 0 even though I am quite positive there is at least GAP service exposed in the central.

So, is it possible to read central characteristics with S110, or do I need at least S130 (peripheral+central SD) to do GATTC things?

Thank you.

Yes, the S110 can be a gatt client so you can use these API's. What central are you testing with? Can you try to start a gatt server on the central? This could be done in our Master control panel app for android as one example.
