BLE Serialization: Porting libraries

[Paarth_Ved23]

Hi,

Recently, I was researching about BLE Serialization for an upcoming training project. I want to get to know about the following points (some reading material, tips or dos and donts):

1. What all Libraries do I need to add to the application chip to work properly (main serialization libraries) and how do I get to know whether a particular library is required or not from .h or .c files.

2. One file (ser_app_hal_nrf5x.c) is simply a wrapper for nRF SDK functions, so do I need to port this .h and .c file or would it be fine to implement them without the wrapper at the application chip side so as to port as few libraries as possible.

I am using the nRF SDK 15.0.0. and so far have taken reference from the Serialized HRS application example in the SDK (ble_app_hrs --> ser_s140_uart).

Just a beginner in BLE Serialization, so if you have good links for understanding the whole process, that would be a big help.

Thanks in advance, 

Regards,

Paarth.

Hello,

You can find some information in the documentation:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/nrf51_setups_serialization.html
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_serialization.html (this one in specific)

I don't think serialization will be much used anymore, since the new nRF53-series have two MCU's (network + application). This should reduce the need for a two chip solution.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth, 

I had already gone through these nRF Infocenter links, thanks anyways. If you have anything specific to porting libraries (necessary libraries, wrappers etc), that would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
