Can anyone get S110 v7 to pair with Windows 8.1 (desktop)?

I am trying to get the proximity example to pair with Windows, but it fails, requesting me to refer to the manufacturer.

I am using gcc in Eclipse on Windows 8.1 desktop, and a bluetooth usb adapter.

I am also seeing advertisements that are corrupt, (failed CRC) about 1-2% of the time when analysing using the nRfSniffer and a PCA10000 board.

The pairing from windows seems to request MITM bonding initially, then no MITM after an error/denial from the proximity device.

any help / tips / guidance / shared experience welcome,

Peter

  • It appears that the example for the HID profile works and with a support case a solution has been found:

    You must add this to application before starting advertising.

    ==

    {

    ble_gap_addr_t m_ble_addr;

    uint32_t err_code;

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_address_get(&m_ble_addr);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_address_set(BLE_GAP_ADDR_CYCLE_MODE_NONE, &m_ble_addr);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    }

    This allows pairing to occur, if somewhat slowly, hopefully Microsoft will work on speeding up the pairing as they focus more on the BLE stack.....
