Whitelist in peripheral side

Hi

I need to connect to perticular central and i know the central MAC address. So i am using whitelisting in peripheral.

I made below changes in my code in ble_app_uart but central getting connected disconnected so fast. Did i miss something to add in code or whats the problem?

1. When i used peer_addr.addr_type = BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC; then peripheral is seen on nrf but not able to connect and when i set BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC no peripheral is shown  on nrf app.

static void on_adv_evt(ble_adv_evt_t ble_adv_evt)
{
    uint32_t err_code;
    ble_gap_addr_t peer_addr; //peer device address
    ble_gap_addr_t const * p_peer_addr;

    switch (ble_adv_evt)
    {
        case BLE_ADV_EVT_FAST:
            err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_ADVERTISING);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            break;
        case BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE:
            sleep_mode_enter();
            break;
     
      case BLE_ADV_EVT_WHITELIST_REQUEST:
	memset(&peer_addr, 0x01, sizeof(peer_addr));


	////peer_addr.addr[0] = 0xbc;			| Reverse the order you placed these:
	////peer_addr.addr[1] = 0x41;			|
	////peer_addr.addr[2] = 0x01;			| Also note that you used wrong address,
	////peer_addr.addr[3] = 0x31;			| as I said in my reply
	////peer_addr.addr[4] = 0x8f;			| 
	////peer_addr.addr[5] = 0x48; 		| Insert the address like this:

            peer_addr.addr[5] = 0x41;
            peer_addr.addr[4] = 0x4D;
            peer_addr.addr[3] = 0x9E;
            peer_addr.addr[2] = 0xF8;
            peer_addr.addr[1] = 0x50;
            peer_addr.addr[0] = 0xE1;
//// c1a7f5c23cc6
            peer_addr.addr_type = BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC; // Add the address type

	////peer_addr pointers. Double pointers for the win! :S
	p_peer_addr = &peer_addr;
	////pp_peer_addr = &p_peer_addr; --> Remove this line

	//// Set white list
	err_code = sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set(&p_peer_addr, 0x01); //swap pp_peer_addr with &p_peer_addr, like this
	if (err_code == NRF_SUCCESS)
	{
		printf("Successfully set whitelist!\r\n");
	}
        else
        {
        printf("Whitelist not set\r\n");
        }
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); //Added an error check, always useful to have.

	//// White list reply
	err_code = ble_advertising_whitelist_reply(&m_advertising,p_peer_addr, 1, NULL, (uint32_t) NULL);
	if (err_code == NRF_SUCCESS)
	{
		printf( "Whitelist replied\r\n");
	}
        else
        {
        printf("Whitelist not replied\r\n");
        }
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
        break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

static void advertising_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t             err_code;
    ble_advertising_init_t init;

    memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));

    init.advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    init.advdata.include_appearance      = false;
    init.advdata.flags                   = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;  // Comment this line out if you havn't done it already
    init.advdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
    init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = m_adv_uuids;

    init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled  = true;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout  = APP_ADV_DURATION;


    init.advdata.flags                     = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_BR_EDR_NOT_SUPPORTED; // These two lines are correct
    init.config.ble_adv_whitelist_enabled = true;									//

   
    init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

    err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

Please suggest how to connect one peripheral to particular central?

  • Hi,

    Is the central always going to have a static address? Note that whitelisting of Android and iOS devices will require support for bonding as you will need a way to get their identity resolving key (IRK) for address resolving.

    BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC no peripheral is shown  on nrf app

     The configured address type must match the actual address input. I expect that's not the case seen it doesn't start advertising. Does sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() return an error?

  • No error is coming with sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() api.

    Is there any chnages required in central side?

  • There must be an error returned somewhere if it doesn't start advertising.

  • Hi

    I also tried to make changes just like hid_keyboard example still its not working .

    In this code the board is not advertise.Please tell me where i am going wrong?

  • Hi,

    Please try to debug the application to find out why it's not advertising. Most likely you have an error being passed to one of the APP_ERROR_CHECK() macros which will cause the SDK Error module to get invoked.
