Event upon connection start

victor

Hello,

I have an application in which the available power is so extremely limited that the hardware cannot do anything else at the same time as conencting to a central. Therefore I need to abort all other activities when a central is trying to connect to the device.

Is there any way of getting an event when a central is initiating a connection? I know that it is possible to get an event when central has managed to connect (BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED), but what I'm looking for is an event for the start of the connection sequence.

Grateful for any tips!

    Hi Victor,

    There is no handshaking or connection establishing procedure with BLE when a connection in starting. BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED event occurs when the softdevice receive the connect request packet from central. Please have a look at section 4.5.4 Vol 6 Part B in Bluetooth Core Spec v4.2.

    And I think you should be aware that with the same interval, advertising consume more power than in connection, because we have to advertise in 3 channel when in connection we listen and transmit on 1 channel at a time.
