Can't find Bluetooth operations in example code

[sticman22]

Hi, I'm a student at Oregon State University using the nRF51 Development Kit for a project. I can't seem to find any functions for sending and recieving Bluetooth signals in the SDK example code. The closest I found is the use of the macro SVCALL (in ble_gap.h line #889, SVCALL is defined in nrf_svc.h).

How does SVCALL relay information to Bluetooth? And where can I find the functions that actually invoke bluetooth?

The example code are located under Board folder inside the SDK. You can also follow this blog site for Eclipse development. It also have example codes both nRF51822 and iOS counter part. embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/.../ehal-nrf51.html

The code has several parts. The initialization, event handling, and the data exchange. There are many things to initialize. Enable the softdevice first then the BLE part. You'll need a GUID to define your device. You'll need to go through the code to get the feel of it. The example code on my blog site has a 1 to 1 relationship with iOS counter part. It may be easier to understand than just the example from the SDK alone. My example code make use of custom GUID. For standard device example, the Heart rate example from the SDK is the one to look at. The nAN-36 is a must read but may not be updated with the SDK6. It explains about custom GUID.
