Hi Petter

Thanks for the tip, it works now properly for the iOS. The problem was very simple, somehow I've had corrupt data in the softdevice, after a erase all (which is not supported by default in our debugging tool...) it worked!

And Thanks a lot for the example about update bond information! https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF51-ble-peripheral-bond-handling It really helbed me. The program is working now.

I created a case in the My Page, see case ID 28174. There, I added a demo-project with my init routine. see the main() routine.

ble_apps_hids_keyboard should work with single connection yes.

I'll see what I can do. However, if I follow up the example project "Bluetooth Le Keyboard" it should work with a single connection, right? Or is there another example more easy? I'll check it again and provide you a small project in case of no success!

It is strange. It would really be of a big help if you could share your project privately and confidentially through your MyPage at www.nordicsemi.no. If this is not possible, maybe you can remove the sensitive parts, and see if the issue is still reproducible, and share that?

The whitelist has following params: addr_type = -26

addr_count = 1

irk = a value of 16 bytes

irk_count = 0 (..probably this is strange)

The size of the whitelist and irk is set to 1! ..i can't send you the entire code, since we do not have a non-disclosure agreement.

Looks correct. But I meant if you could check what the contents of whitelist that is created. What address(es) and IRK(s) does it have in it? I can't also test your project here if you like, if you upload the complete project and tell me which SoftDevice and SDK version you are using.

ble_gap_whitelist_t whitelist;

ble_gap_addr_t * p_whitelist_addr[WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT];

ble_gap_irk_t * p_whitelist_irk[WHITELIST_IRK_MAX_COUNT];

whitelist.addr_count = WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT;

whitelist.irk_count = WHITELIST_IRK_MAX_COUNT;

whitelist.pp_addrs = p_whitelist_addr;

whitelist.pp_irks = p_whitelist_irk;

err_code = dm_whitelist_create(&mAppHandle, &whitelist);

err_code = ble_advertising_whitelist_reply(&whitelist);

break; do I have to set any address to it? or is the whiteliste after setting up managed handled by the s110?

What do you put inside the whitelist? What is in it?

RE: direct advertising with whitelist

it is called with this parameters (line 293-303, ble_advertising.c): adv_params.fp = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_FILTER_CONNREQ;

adv_params.p_whitelist = &m_whitelist;

m_advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_BR_EDR_NOT_SUPPORTED;

err_code = ble_advdata_set(&m_advdata, NULL);

if(err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)

{ return err_code; }

m_adv_evt = BLE_ADV_EVT_FAST_WHITELIST;

LOG("[ADV]: Starting fast advertisement with whitelist.\r\n"); --> where "ble_advdata_set" is executed successful

sd_ble_gap_adv_start() is used inside ble_advertising_start().

RE: direct advertising with whitelist

armin — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 07:46:51 GMT

I do not use the "sd_ble_gap_adv_start()". It's according the example code "ble_app_hids_keyboard" where only ble_advertising_start() is used. Do I have to use "sd_ble_gap_adv_start()" instead?

RE: direct advertising with whitelist

sd_ble_gap_adv_start() and ble_advertising_start() is not the same function. I'm guessing that the error originates from sd_ble_gap_adv_start()? What parameters are given to it?

RE: direct advertising with whitelist

armin — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 07:24:29 GMT

Yes, the error is returned by ble_advertising_start(BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST). I can pass BLE_ADV_MODE_DIRECTED or BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST, both time the NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM is returned. But I guess the root failure is in init. Since I'm advertising without whitlist and directed disabled, it works..

I'm guessing this is returned from sd_ble_gap_adv_start()? What parameters are given to it?
