S130 v2.0.0-8 ble_gattc_evt_write_rsp_t wrong data??

[Marius Heil]

Hello,

I was just editing the handling of sent packets and I wanted to evaluate the contents of the ble_gattc_evt_write_rsp_t struct which is part of the BLE_GATTC_EVT_WRITE_RSP i suppose. When I receive the event, I check the contents of bleEvent->evt.gattc_evt.params.write_rsp.data.

Data length is always reported as 0 for me and the data[] does not contain any valid data,... However on the client side I receive everything correctly. What does that mean? How is this event supposed to work?

I doubt you get the data back for a normal write because for a normal write the bluetooth-level response is just a response code and nothing else. I would expect to see that data filled in only for long and reliable writes where the data is sent back from the server as part of the reply.

Alright, thank you. have to solve it differently then. I was thinking the SoftDevice has a buffer for a WRITE_REQ in which it keeps the data because it might need to resend it. so I thought it could as well deliver that data back to me when it creates the WRITE_RSP event. But maybe this data is deleted early so that the slot can be used again before the user has processed the WRITE_RSP event. (Well, and sending a new WRITE_REQ while handling this event would be a problem.)

But I think this part is a little poorly documented, I don't always trust the message sequence charts.
