NRF51822 file transfer over LE

I need to transfer few kilobytes of data from slave device over BLE when requested from master device. I tough there is no file transfer profile in LE? What are the options to transfer file over LE?

  • Hi there,

    There is as of today no standard way to transfer files over BLE (although one is being worked on).

    You have 2 basic options:

    1. If you have full control of both the central and peripheral, you could use a custom L2CAP channel and define your own protocol over it.

    2. If your central is a mobile device running iOS or Android, then you can define your own protocol using a propietary ATT service with a set of characteristics that act as endpoints.
