Enable bonding for peripheral role and disable it for central role

[KasunR]

Hi, 

I am developing an application where the device should support both central and peripheral roles at the same time. My devices are connecting to a mobile phone. All the devices should start up as peripherals and will connect to the mobile phone using a static pass key. Mobile phone will bond with the device to avoid manual pairing later. After that, mobile phone will set one of the device as a master. Then master device will act as a central and connect with other devices with that pass key but should not perform bonding.

How can i enable bonding for peripheral role and disable it for central role?

I am using SDK 16 and relay example as reference. 

Thanks

what you require is pm_deregister of peer manager event handler when the device role is switched to master so that the master takes control of the pairing procedure and do not perform bonding. Unfortunately the library provided by us does not have deregister of event handler.

Does it mean this is not possible?

[Susheel Nuguru]

not with the peer_manager we provide. But is possible if you edit it to add the deregister functionaility. This is the reason we give you the source code instead of giving only the compiled libraries, so that you can mold them to fit into your requirements.

Thanks Susheel. 

Do you have any example code which I can use. Or any guidance on how to modify the peer manager?

Thanks

Sorry Kasun, We do not have any example code to demonstrate that.
