How to add bonding information manually?

[Surya]

Hi,

I want to add bonding information manually. 

1.can I assume IRK key will be constant for multiple peripherals?

2.if IRK only key is available, can i add it to peer list using pm_peer_new?

How to white list IRK in Other peripherals which are not having any Bond information?

Please read the links in my previous reply, as well as the Usage chapter on Whitelists in the SDK Infocenter page. This post also has a great explanation on Whitelisting using IRKs.

Best regards,

I modified advertising Event handler case as below, it causing ERROR 7 NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM] when i start advertising

 ret_code_t ret = ble_advertising_start(&m_advertising, BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST);

bond_info is filled with bonding information.

case BLE_ADV_EVT_WHITELIST_REQUEST:
{
ble_gap_addr_t whitelist_addrs[BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT];
ble_gap_irk_t whitelist_irks[BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT];
uint32_t addr_cnt = BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT;
uint32_t irk_cnt = BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT;

err_code = pm_whitelist_get(whitelist_addrs, &addr_cnt,whitelist_irks, &irk_cnt);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

memcpy(&(whitelist_irks[0].irk),&(bond_info.peer_ble_id.id_info.irk),16);
irk_cnt = 1;
addr_cnt = 0;

// Apply the whitelist.
err_code = ble_advertising_whitelist_reply(&m_advertising,whitelist_addrs,addr_cnt,whitelist_irks,irk_cnt);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

}
break;

Hi

I'm sorry, but what exact error check is it that returns this INVALID_PARAM error? It means that a value in one of your functions is invalid, but we'll need to narrow it down to see what parameter exactly this is. Can you upload your debug log so I can get a better view at what's going on?

Best regards,

this line causing the error. if modifications in "BLE_ADV_EVT_WHITELIST_REQUEST" is not made everything working fine.

that make sense to m that there is problem in the modifications. so I uploaded the modification.

NOTE: in "BLE_ADV_EVT_WHITELIST_REQUEST" case, all returned success. but at function ble_advertising_start , the error came.
