BLE Test from PC

[Oleh]

Dear all

is there any possibility to use PC to test the nrf51822, Instead of Android/ios app?

preferably a lib to be used with Java, so one can have some test cases.

What am I trying to do?

I'd like to test the firmware locally with my PC before sending a tag to develop Android/ios app. But is seems that BLE library for java is not available (for pc at least).

There are some solutions like:

• lib for pyton
• masteremulator.dll , but it is a C++ lib so I cannot access it via JNA
• tx/rx lib, but it is a low level interface, that will send/receive byte buffers.

anyone having the same "problem" .

Thank you OL

EDIT: more precisely I'm searching a GATT Server Library

I'm not aware of any BLE libraries for Java, but I'd just like to highlight that the Master Emulator API is C# based, not C++. If you absolutely want to use Java, it doesn't really help you though, but for now, this API is the only one I know about, and the best we have to offer. As you probably know, it's installed into C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Emulator\2.1.7.8226 with the Master Control Panel.

Edit: It also seems as if it may be possible to trick Java into calling C# code, but I'm uncertain how that would work with Master Emulator's many callback and event functions...

I'm trying to enumerate usb, and it hands there... the log says:

am I missing some security setup?

when running precompiled demo, the log is good:
