Advertising Name

[dmleone]

I am trying to find an example to do a BLE pairing. This is my first BLE experience and working with nRF52832 using SDK15.2 and softdevice API 6.1

I am trying to do a base station keyfob connection

i would like to make 1 item go into pair mode and advertise OTA with a specific advertising name. I am trying to work with the ble_app_template example, but i cannot find how to change the advertising name from DfuTarg to what i want it to be.

What are the examples that are recommended to do the pairing i should review?

Also what is buttonless dfu? And if i want it to auto pair when near is that considered buttonless? endgame i would want to initiate a pairing sequence, but once paired, the paired device should remain paired and if within range, be able to communicate./ It is a key fob type situation.

Any informaiton would be helpful with this

Normal applications in main.c there is a #define DEVICE_NAME that you change. For the dfu application the change is in the sdk_config.h file.

the normal dfu application you have to press a button to tell the device to go into dfu mode. buttonless allows use cases that don't have access to a button or need a button to trigger the dfu action.

auto connecting to a ble device is driven from the central side. advertise, connection request, connection response, connection. connection request is done by the central indicating that it would like to connection to the advertising device. but it seems like you are mixing dfu bootloader with and actual application. 

the dfu only get the ota as you stated. I would look at the proximity example to begin and then add the secure bootloader. but definitely you should focus on the ble application first and not the bootloader.
