Master control panel & BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_MAX_CHAR_PER_SRV

[Vyacheslav Lebets]

Hi !

In questions question1 & question2 Petter Myhre gave a complete answers about count of max characteristic per service in s120 and how to resolve this restriction.

#define BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_MAX_CHAR_PER_SRV 3

I create custom board with nrf51822 and use custom service whith 4 characteristics. For testing I need to create "central" on PCA10000 (dongle in DK). When writing code that use S120, I learned that count of max characteristic per service is 3.

Petter resolved this restriction, but there is one small question :)

Master control panel (MCP) use PCA10000 and MCP finds all services. If PCA10000 firmware for MCP use S120, why MCP can find all characteristics ? Or MCP also has restrictions?

Thanks.

MCP doesn't use S120, is uses something we call Master Emulator Firmware. It just emulates a master (or a central device). It is not a true central device.

MCP doesn't have any memory restrictions, compared to the nRF51.

Thanks, Petter.
