Master Control Panel DFU code uses device name instead of UUID for

[Anthony Ambuehl]

During testing I changed the device name in the DFU. After making the change the DFU client in the master control panel would no longer work.

Is it possible to make the master control panel select the device based on the custom UUID instead of the device name?

My thought is that a device name should be user friendly, and a UUID is intended for machines. Therefore the DFU code which is not a person should use the UUID and not the device name designation.

I notice in the successful log file that the "Device Discovery" completes with text:

257;09:48:59.6837 [480105755][MainThread] [09:48:59.683] device CompleteLocalName 'Dfu' address 'FB1E9EDACE72'

258;09:48:59.6887 [480105755][MainThread] [09:48:59.687] Found peer device

259;09:48:59.7087 [480105755][MainThread] [09:48:59.708] [Emulator] Connecting

The text "Found peer device" is never displayed in the failed log.

It appears the "Device Discovery" mechanism is relying on the device name in the advertisement data. Since the device name in my case was too long to fit in the advertisement data I have moved the device name into the scan response data. Unfortunately with the 128-bit UUIDs there is very little space remaining for other data, therefore it is necessary to use the scan response fields.

You're right, it will only evaluate what is in the advertising packet itself, not what's in the scan response. I edited my answer above to explain how this can be changed, but I'll also report it internally so that it can be fixed in a future release. Thanks for letting us know!
