How to set static passkey for nrf51822 BLE central(s120 ) ?

[leibin]

As we known we can set static passkey in peripheral side (s110) with the API sd_ble_opt_set(BLE_GAP_OPT_PASSKEY, &ble_opt) as below:

inline void setPassKey(void) { uint8_t passkey[] = "123456"; ble_opt_t ble_opt; ble_opt.gap.passkey.p_passkey = &passkey[0]; (void) sd_ble_opt_set(BLE_GAP_OPT_PASSKEY, &ble_opt); }

But the same API can't be used to set passkey in nrf51822 BLE central(s120 ) side. So how to set static passkey in nrf51822 BLE central(s120 )?

Peripheral display:

Static passkey for S120 can be impmlemented by following the message sequence chart for "GAP Central Bonding: Passkey Entry (Peripheral display) or OOB MSC" . The passkey could then be hard coded in the application.

The passkey should be passed as a parameter when the function sd_ble_gap_auth_key_reply(..) is being called. It can for example be done the following way in main.c:

#define STATIC_PASSKEY				"123456" 				            		/**< Static pin. */
uint8_t                             passkey[] = STATIC_PASSKEY;

static void on_ble_evt(ble_evt_t * p_ble_evt)
{
    uint32_t                err_code;
    switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id)
    {
        ...
        ...
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_KEY_REQUEST:
            err_code = sd_ble_gap_auth_key_reply(m_connection_handle,BLE_GAP_AUTH_KEY_TYPE_PASSKEY, passkey);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;
        ...
        ...
        default:
            break;
    }
}

Central display:

If you want to implement static passkey for S120 when the S120 device has the display,you should follow the message sequence chart "GAP Central Bonding: Passkey Entry, Central displays". In addition to what is in the message sequence chart, the static passkey has to be added. It can for example be done the following way: Set the option for static passkey in the softdevice, it can for example be done right after the initialization of the softdevice in main.c:

    #define STATIC_PASSKEY				"123456" 				         /**< Static pin. */
    uint8_t                             passkey[] = STATIC_PASSKEY;
    int main(void)
    {       
        uint32_t err_code;
        ble_opt_t static_pin_option;
        ...
        ble_stack_init();
        static_pin_option.gap_opt.passkey.p_passkey = passkey;
        err_code =  sd_ble_opt_set(BLE_GAP_OPT_PASSKEY, &static_pin_option);
        ...
    }

On the peripheral side (S110), the message sequence chart "GAP Bonding: Passkey Entry (Central display) or OOB MSC" should be followed. The passkey can then be added the same way as for the central in the "peripheral display" case.

I want to set static passkey on Central side and then display it. So the message sequence chart should be "GAP Central Bonding: Passkey Entry, Central displays". But according to the sequence, I still don't know how to set a static passkey on Central side. Looks like we should set static passkey to softdevice. Could you please tell more details about how to implement it? Thanks!
