[nRF51822] Connectable Indirected advertising after pairing was done.

[Jeffery]

Hi sir In Desktop 2, before BTLE pairing, nRF51 uses Connectable Indirected advertising. After BTLE pairing with BTLE host, nRF51 will select Directed advertsing for saving connection time. Could nRF51use Connection Indirected advertising type to the BTLE host which was already paired with it? Then, like mouse or keyboard device, can they still work well?

Regards, Jeffery

Hi dears

Actually, this application is a testing kit used in MP. I don't want to do pairing for everey sample in a single PC since operators will got mad to repeat it. Besides, the performace of PC will become worse after a lot of bonding records were accumulated.

So, my idea is only to pair for the first sample. Then, the bonding record will exist in the PC. Then, for other samples that they didn't have whitelist anyhow, just advertise by Connectable Indirected advertising. However, it seems not work.

If you're looking at developing a test for mass production, I'd recommend you to have a look at nAN-34: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/20648/5/85114866

An alternative to the setup that is proposed there is to make a Master Emulator application to do the test, instead of relying on the built-in Windows features to do the bonding. This will make it easy to create and remove bonds from the code, removing the need for operators to manually do any deletion except for on the device.
