Implement passkey or whitelist in ble_app_uart example

[christoff]

Hello everyone, the sdk version that I use is 15.0 (nrF5_SDK_15.0.0). The soft device is s132.

In my project I have to implement passkey or whitelist in the conection with the app.

In the ble_peripheral / ble_app_uart example, How is it known that the connection request comes from the app?

Could I add a passkey or whitelist?

What do I have to modify in the sdk_config.h file?

Thanks

Hello,

The UART example does not use bonds in its default state as it is delivered in the SDK, but if you search around DevZone it is possible others have done the job of adding the peer manager?

I would take a look at the glucose example (ble_app_gls), it has implemented passkey to pair.

You can copy paste the peer manager things into the UART example, or copy-paste the BLE UART things into the glucose example and remove the glucose functionality?

This recent blog post could be useful for you. In it, we add UART functionality to another example (ble_app_hts).
