maximum centrals in ancs

[sherin]

Hi I am trying to overcome the problem that I have confronted, I have no buttons to delete bonds. So instead of deleteing this is what I did.

I modified the bondmanager code as follows

static uint32_t on_auth_status_from_new_central(ble_gap_evt_auth_status_t * p_auth_status) { uint32_t err_code;

if (m_centrals_in_db_count >= BLE_BONDMNGR_MAX_BONDED_CENTRALS)
{
                     m_centrals_in_db_count = 0x00;
		 //return NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM;
}

...................... Instead of a return I reset the count to zero. I don't see any problem as of now. Is this work around problematic?

In general we recommend avoiding changing the SDK files, so I'd rather use the error returned to the application to call the masters_delete() function from there.

The change you've done here is a little scary, since there will be a disagreement between the in-RAM state and the flash-state of the bond manager, and if you get a power reset or similar after this, you may see strange behavior.

Also, in an actual application it may create undesired behavior to just delete all bonds if you bond with a new device, but this will be very dependent on how your application is to behave, so I can't say anything for sure about that.
