Could we get rid of sd_rpc_serial_port_name_set?

[jpo38]

I'm using s120_nrf51_ble_driver on PC.

To connect the BLE dongle, we need to COM port number to be known (parameter of sd_rpc_serial_port_name_set). Is there really no way to get rid of that when one single dongle is connected to the PC?

Can't the API propose a mode where dongle is automatically found and used (this could raise an error if 0 or more than 1 are found). s120_nrf51_ble_driver.dll should be able to scan all connected devices and identify the good one!

Hi, and thanks for the feedback.

There is currently no way to get the ble_driver to automatically connect to a dongle, other than implementing that in your own application (it would be possible by doing a registry lookup).

In the releases so far the main focus has been to keep the API lightweight and focus on the core functionality, the SoftDevice commands. Other, more highlevel functions has been left out (left over to the application), like dongle enumeration, chip reset, programming, etc.

Your feature request has been noted and will be considered for future releases.

That's just perfect. This first version of the API is a great thing. I'll continue posting feedbacks while using it.

Thanks for the good work.
