Unable to read the 128 bit uuid with base uuid

[Beulah Preethi Vallur]

Hello Team

I need to scan the peripheral dongle's 128 bit UUID service and its characteristics,my code is based on heart rate collector of pc-ble-driver,before scanning I am registering the uuid with the softdevice as per the suggestions from your forum posts as below, its adding and registering but the problem is its displaying the uuid as all 0's as 0x0000000000000000 ,I am also attaching the screenshots

ble_uuid_t    dfu_uuid;

    uint8_t       uuid_type = BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN;

    

    /*Base UUIDs for DFU service characteristics*/

    ble_uuid128_t dfu_base_uuid = 

    {{0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX}

     };

    dfu_uuid.type = BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN;

    dfu_uuid.uuid = BLE_UUID_VALO_SERVICE;

    err_code = sd_ble_uuid_vs_add(m_adapter,&dfu_base_uuid, &uuid_type);

    if(err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)

    {

         printf("custom uuid failed\n");

         fflush(stdout);

    }

    else

    {

        printf("custom uuid added\n");

        fflush(stdout);

    }

     err_code = ble_db_discovery_evt_register(&dfu_uuid);

     if(err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)

    {

         printf("ble_db_discovery_evt_register failed\n");

         fflush(stdout);

    }

    else

    {

        printf("ble_db_discovery_evt_register added\n");

        fflush(stdout);

    }

    // Initiate procedure to find the primary BLE_UUID_MY_SERVICE.

    err_code = sd_ble_gattc_primary_services_discover(m_adapter,

                                                      m_connection_handle, 0x0E,

                                                      &dfu_uuid);

    if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)

    {

        printf("Failed to initiate or continue a GATT Primary Service Discovery procedure\n");

        fflush(stdout);

    }

    else

    {

        printf("Initiated or continue a GATT Primary Service Discovery procedure\n");

        fflush(stdout);

    }

Hello Eric,

Hi,

This looks better. I see you pass the correct &dfu_uuid.type to sd_ble_uuid_vs_add() now, which is good. Now it is populated with the correct value (you can also delete your uuid_type variable, which is no longer in use, but it is not important).

From what I can see from your log output there are no errors now (at least in the screenshots). I see the printout with "Discovered valo service" with an all zero UUID, but I don't see any code showing where and how this ins printed, so I cannot say any details about this. Please share the relevant code and logs and describe how they do not match your expectations.

Please check the complete code and the complete logs are same as posted in my earlier post ,still posting again

Hi,

This is a problem with your printing. Your printf on line 1210-1212 prints the uuid as a 128 bit number, but it is in fact just a 16 bit uint16_t. As you can see from the API doc of ble_uuit_t: "16-bit UUID value or octets 12-13 of 128-bit UUID.".

Since your BLE_UUID_VALO_SERVICE is 0x0000 that would be the expected if you correctly printed only the two bytes. The rest of the data is whatever happens to be there in RAM, which incidentally is all 0's.
