Can central get the bonded peripheral MAC address if it is not in connection?

[John_Doe]

Hi Nordic,

I am using SDK 12.3.0, S130 2.0.1 and PCA10028 nrf51 DK.

My design is 1-to-1 (one central and one peripheral). They both would use peer manager to create whitelist for scanning or advertising.

I would like to ask that how can central get the bonded peripheral MAC address if central is not in connection, for example after power up?

Thank you.

Hi John, 

if the peripheral is already bonded with the central, then the central already has the MAC address stored in its bonded peer database, see pm_peer_data_bonding_load. 

Best regards
