(updated)

Is it possible for you to add a Github issue for this? Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is only the documentation provided in the API header. I have sent your request to the internal. Hope we can reveal more detail.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the info. But it's too high level. I'm looking for something like those Message Sequence Chart in the nRF5 SDK documents where you can see which function gets called in what order.

Here more specifically, these things are unclear to me, for example:

Somehow pairing_complete(), bond_deleted() are never called if I use Just Works pairing. And there isn't any place to set the mode. It's just implied by the combination of the callbacks.

Then if set passkey_confirm to not-null (so it points to a function), suddenly pairing_complete() will be called. It also calls bond_deleted() if bond is deleted.

It looks like by setting these callback pointers to null or not, it can drives the pairing mode. If so then maybe a table to list all the combinations will be convenient and easier to understand.

Hi,

You can read more about it here and refer to Peripheral UART.
