Modify DEVICE_NAME

[Yoojin.Jang]

Hello.

I use nrf51822 chip.

I want modify Device_name as below.

1EA product "CoCoNut - 001"

other 1EA product "CoCoNut - 002"

other 1EA product "CoCoNut - 003" .....

So, 001,002,003 numbering is storage from flash memory.

I want modify only one source code.

but, I don't know add device_name.

How can I modify source code?

please confirm it.

You could use a script to modify your binary for each device you upload to.

e.g. In your code define a constant array with the text "CoCoNut - 001"

In the binary there were be a the text "CoCoNut - 001", so you just need to get your script to change this to "CoCoNut - 002" etc before you upload

You'd need to keep track of the index number somehow, e.g. some sort of database (or even just a text file)

Just small addition. Instead of the modifying binary I would define name(or numeric part of the name) in code memory somewhere at the end, just before bootloader. Then during programming use script mentioned above but include nrfprog to write into that memory incremented number. The only problem can be OTA
