[nRF8001] Changing setup without using nRFGo

Is it possible to change the SETUP_MESSAGES_CONTENT in software? I want to add a unit specific id on every device with the SW. I'm using 'Custom Advertisement Types' with hex 0xFF to set this data.

At start up i would like to load an id from flash and set it in the variable like:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
	setup_msgs[33].buffer[i + 4 +3] = myData[i];
}

aci_state.aci_setup_info.number_of_pipes    = NUMBER_OF_PIPES;
aci_state.aci_setup_info.setup_msgs 		= (hal_aci_data_t*)setup_msgs;
aci_state.aci_setup_info.num_setup_msgs     = NB_SETUP_MESSAGES;

But i get this in the errors in the log:

Evt Device Started: Setup ACI Command 6 Evt Cmd respone: Status 88

Or can you recommend another what to set the custom data?

Hi,

Looks like we will release the structures for the setup data, but we have been very busy lately so I'm not sure when it will be ready. If you open a support case I could send you a preliminary document.

Best regards,

Hi Runar,

Thanks for the information.

Will a suitable structure be available for the Setup data to facilitate easy modification? I noticed that one contributor was doing some documentation.

Best Regards, Kirem

Hi,

You can change the device name using a set pipe if you enable this in nRFgo studio. There is also an example in the ble-sdk-arduino that shows you how to modify the setup. Or you could look at this devzone tread where this question has already been answered.

Best regards,
