Master emulator to access Multi role device

[Raja D.Singh]

Hi, I see that you provide Master emulator API for windows (dll) that works with firmware for Master control panel application. Master control panel firmware, as the name suggests, configures the device (nrf51 dongle) in Central (master) role.

Wondering what other options I have, if I wish to use the dongle in both Central and Peripheral role concurrently and be able to access it using Master emulator API.

In other words, is there a way to replace the master control firmware with my own firmware and still be able to access it using Master Emulator API? Any pointers on this is much appreciated.

@Raja: You can use our ble driver. Currently the version on our website is for S130 v1.0 only.

You can have a look at the latest driver on our github but it's on going develoment.

Thank you for getting back quickly.

I was looking at this driver as well. Do you have a document that lists (and explains) API calls to this library? I don't mind looking at examples and figuring out. But again, if there is a API document, it is much simpler. I also looked at the Node JS addon and python examples.

The hex file found in Git hub repository, is this a somewhat modified version of SDK example found under ble_central_and_peripheral/ble_connectivity ??

@Raja: I am afraid there is no document for the ble_driver yet. But all the sd_ble* commands have the same functionality with what described in the documentation for the API provided by the softdevice, you can find the documentation here.
