Adding IoT to Custom BLE Service

[Beat Zenerino]

I have a nRF52832 reading sensors periodically using SDK14.2. The device uses a custom BLE service to upload the data to a mobile phone. That all works great, but now I would like to add an IPSP service, in particular 6LoWPAN and CoAP, to interface with a router. I would like to keep the custom BLE service. What would be the best approach to take here?

Should I take the CoAP sample and add my custom code or can I start with my code and add parts of the CoAP sample? I saw the CoAP samples use the ipv6_medium_ble.c file which initializes the BLE stack and advertising params, but I'm already doing that in my code.

Do you have sample code that combines a custom BLE service with IoT? I figured it wouldn't take too much to combine the two since they are in the same SDK and SD now, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

We don't have such an example sorry. I would get them both working separately first, then I don't think it matters that much which you merge into the other. I remember seeing some other users in here combining a BLE profile and the IPSP profile, but I'm not sure if they shared their code. I think this was with an older version of the IoT SDK though.

Thanks Petter, I do have both working independently. I'll start with the merge. Yes, I saw the older version post. It should be easier now that there is a common SDK and SD.
