Whitelist not restrict connections

[isdv]

Hi!

I'm try restrict device connections with whitelist.

Code based on examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hids_mouse.

My problem - any devices can bond and connect even after whitelist is not empty.

Example in SDK 15.3 with board "nrf52840 dongle" show same result.

I break my table with my head.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

By default, the example will after APP_ADV_FAST_DURATION(30 sec) switch to slow advertising(BLE_ADV_EVT_SLOW_WHITELIST), and here the whitelist is by default turned off with the function ble_advertising_restart_without_whitelist(). Snippet from on_adv_evt():

        case BLE_ADV_EVT_SLOW_WHITELIST:
            NRF_LOG_INFO("Slow advertising with whitelist.");
            err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_ADVERTISING_WHITELIST);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            err_code = ble_advertising_restart_without_whitelist(&m_advertising);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;

You can change it to this to avoid that:

        case BLE_ADV_EVT_SLOW_WHITELIST:
            NRF_LOG_INFO("Slow advertising with whitelist.");
            err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_ADVERTISING_WHITELIST);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;

You can refer to my example https://github.com/jimmywong2003/nrf52-ble-central-scanner-with-whitelist.

i create the nrf_ble_whitelist module to load the lists with scanner.

Function  whitelist_set() with flag PM_PEER_ID_LIST_SKIP_NO_ID_ADDR  alway return empty list.

Advertising started without whitelist.

Problem solved by changing flag to PM_PEER_ID_LIST_SKIP_NO_IRK .

Special thanks to Pyotr for  Jimmy Wong    for example code.
