RE: Generate UUID with nRF5 SDK 17.1.0 in C

Hi Edvin,

thanks for your reply!

We don't plan to use it for the SoftDevice or the BLE functionality but for an application specific use case to label recordings.

Anyway, if there's no possibility to generate the UUID during runtime in C with nRF SDK, that's all i need to know!

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Domi

Hello,

As far as I know, we don't have any "on the fly" / runtime UUID generator libraries.

As far as I can tell, the softdevice requires the UUID to be a const parameter, so I am not sure whether this is actually possible at all.

This being said, I guess you can store the UUID somewhere in UICR, So you can make it unique for each device, but it would still need to be determined during compile / programming time, and not runtime.

Best regards,

Edvin
