BLE_GATT_STATUS_ATTERR_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_FOUND not found error in nrf52

[sharmelaraju]

Hi,

I am using NRF52840 DK in our project . I  am using 15.3.0 SDK  and soft device s140 in our project .Here the nrf52840 dk board is client and other controller bluetooth is used as slave which as 1 base uuid and 4  128 bit characteristics uuid .I am able to connect to the peripheral by scanning device name.Now  i successfully connected to the peripheral devuce. But while doing service discovery i am getting BLE_GATT_STATUS_ATTERR_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_FOUND  in service discovery. can you tell me  how to resolve this issue. as i know only 128 bit base uuid and i dont know the service uuid . Plz help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,

The BLE_GATTS_EVT_SYS_ATTR_MISSING (MSC) event must be handled by your application if you don't use the Peer manager module. Try to include the following code in your ble_evt_handler (copied from ble_app_uart example):

/**@brief Function for handling BLE events.
 *
 * @param[in]   p_ble_evt   Bluetooth stack event.
 * @param[in]   p_context   Unused.
 */
static void ble_evt_handler(ble_evt_t const * p_ble_evt, void * p_context)
{
    uint32_t err_code;

    switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id)
    {
    
     ...
    case BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_PARAMS_REQUEST:
            // Pairing not supported
            err_code = sd_ble_gap_sec_params_reply(m_conn_handle, BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_PAIRING_NOT_SUPP, NULL, NULL);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;

    case BLE_GATTS_EVT_SYS_ATTR_MISSING:
            // No system attributes have been stored.
            err_code = sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set(m_conn_handle, NULL, 0, 0);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;
     ...

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried to include the BLE_GATTS_EVT_SYS_ATTR_MISSING event but still it is getting attribute not found and service not found at the peer. Plz  help me.

[sharmelaraju]

Plz reply. I am waiting for your reply.

Hi,

What services does the GATT server have? LBS_UUID_BASE is set to the official SIG based UUID (link) and should not be used together with custom vendor-specific UUIDs

[sharmelaraju]

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the late reply. I was on the holiday.

The GATT server uses SPPLE service which has 128 bit UUID.I am didn't get  official SIG based UUID .

Can you tell me what is this UUID ?Plz help me to resolve the issue.

[Vidar Berg]

Do you have a link to the SPPLE service? I'm not sure what service that is.  

sharmelaraju said:

.I am didn't get  official SIG based UUID .

 The SIG base UUID is already included in the Softdevice and does not need to be added through sd_ble_uuid_vs_add() call. It should only be used together with 16-bit UUIDs assigned by Bluetooth SIG (link)

[sharmelaraju]

Thanks for the reply.

yes I have the link attaching here.

It appears to be 4 or 5 unique UUID bases. I suggest you start by trying to discover the main Service since any typo or error in the byte order will cause service discovery to fail. 

I didn't find the UUID below in the documentation you linked to. Can you point me to the Service or characteristic it belongs to?

 #define LBS_UUID_SERVICE_UUID {0x39, 0x23, 0xcf, 0x40, 0x73, 0x16, 0x42, 0x9a, \
0x5c, 0x41, 0x7e, 0x7d, 0xc4, 0x9a, 0x83, 0x14} /**< Used vendor specific UUID. */

Thanks for the reply.

Below I have attached the program of the service table in the peripheral side.

These are the UUID  of the SPPLE service and characteristics in the program of peripheral side.

Attached uuid of the characteristic of the spple service.

Here there is 5 UUID of 128 bit . My doubt is how to add all uuid  which is 128 bit characteristics. In the  example program of the LBS service they are adding 16 bit characteristics and 16 bit Service UUID .

And one more doubt is what do i need to add the LBS BASE UUID  ..I dont know the base uuid  of the spple service . I know only the spple service uuid  which is of 128 bit UUID. 

Plz give me the solution.

Plz reply me. I  am not getting any solution.

The SSP Service base UUID seems to be added with the correct byte order in your code so that is good, but I can't see from your code snippets if you use the 16-bit Service UUID for the Service discovery (0x9AC4). Can you upload your entire project here so I can take a look?
