nRF52832 Bluetooth Documentation

[Sai Kiran]

Hi

Is there any documentation regarding bluetooth in nRF52832 specs sheet or anywhere else? I understand that there are examples provided by SDK. But I want to know in detail about the bluetooth functions that are used in examples provided. I saw the specs sheet and I couldn't find any details? Can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

Not clear what you're actually looking for?

The Product Specification gives the hardware details of the chip:

The SoftDevice is the BLE protocol stack

See the SoftDevice Specification for the particular SoftDevice you are using; eg, for S132:

I am actually using BLE_UART example. I want to understand how exactly the bluetooth transmission is going on. I want to see the handshake procedure(if any) in the example.

Thanks for the Soft Device link. I went through that. But it does not explain clearly what each function does, like how the Product Specification Document does.

Still not clear what you mean.

For full details of the BLE radio protocol, see the BT Specifications - available on the Bluetooth SIG website.

Each function has a header comment which outlines  what it does.

The Nordic UART Service documentation is here:

Hey thanks! Offline SDK gave the  details I needed.
