How to submit bugs on the pc-ble-driver?

[brianreinhold]

I am trying to find where to submit bugs against the pc-ble-driver. There are two major bugs I have found

1. saved CCCDs (in a bonded connection) do not get restored when calling the sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set() method with the locally saved configuration data.
   1. This bug is very problematic as there is no work-a-round. One simply will be unable to transfer data to a bonded peer on a reconnect (if the bonded peer follows the spec).
   2. This bug also prevents me from invoking a service-changed event (though it is clear that the peer has enabled the CCCD in the previous connection).
2. when handling a BLE_GATTS_EVT_RW_AUTHORIZE_REQUEST the update=0 option does not work. If one gets this event one MUST update the attribute value
   1. This bug is less severe because there is a work-a-round ... update the value. It may be the same value, but you need to call the update method with the update value.

I have posted these problems to the forum for some time now but its probably better to post them directly to the pc-ble-driver development team. Looked on git-hub but could not find a way to do it.

I am talking about the read. I don't need this feature for a write. This is an issue I get when the client READS one of my characteristics!

I see. I have reported it internally so that it can be fixed in a future release.

It is possible someone there can configure the pc-ble-driver as a Visual Studio project so I can debug some of these issues myself? Someone there must have one!

Any news on an update? Perhaps a pre-written VS project to build the driver myself?

Hi,

You can generate a VS project by following this guide, but use the cmake generator for Visual Studio instead of Ninja, like this:

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

(I do not have any updates on the issue itself.)
