About the nRF8001 ' Device Address

[redfish]

 Hi  , 

     We know that the nRF8001 use the random static device address . I have the questions below :

  A.   Will the device get one new address after power on ?    or  is the address fixed for each nRF8001 when production ? 

  B.   When connected or bonded with host ,  will the host get another  address which is different with the random static    address ?   

 

    thanks!

- The random static is set for the nRF8001 at production

You can get the random static address that is assigned using GetDeviceAddress (0x0A).

- I assume you are referring to the peer device that is connecting and bonding with the nRF8001 as the host.

Let me check on the address being shared during bonding, In any case this shared address is not used by the nRF8001

When in a connection the Access address in the Connect request packet is used.

Hi  David, 

  First  Thanks for your reply  !

  I want to know that  will the nrf8001 's Mac Adr be changed when bond  with the host  ?

No, the nRF8001's address will not be changed when bonded with the host as it is using a Random Static Address.
