Adding a name to custom UUID

[Nikosant03]

Hi, I've created a custom service for my application. However, is there any way to give a name to the corresponding UUID? I want the custom UUDI to be appearing for example as "IMU_Service", is that possible?

Hi,

Yes, you can add custom UUID definitions in the file %APPDATA%\nrfconnect\uuid_definitions.json.

I did a quick test with a modified version of the Nordic UART Service (changed UUID from 0x0001 to 0x0005):

"uuid128bitServiceDefinitions": {
    "6E400005B5A3F393E0A9E50E24DCCA9E": {
        "name": "Custom UART"
    }
},

This shows in nRF Connect as "Custom UART":

Best regards,
Jørgen
