New pc-ble-driver on NCS

[Piwy]

Hello

I search a way to have a similar project as pc-ble-driver with NRF connect sdk

There is a peripherial with many sensor that send data over BLE and i want to command a central BLE on nrf connect sdk with a rasberry pi

I use 2 nrf52840, i can change the hardware if it's necessary

Someone have an idea, what sample or project can i start with ?

I thought to use shell command to command the central but i don't know how to do it or if it's possible

Regards,

Pierre

Hi,

If you need to interact with a Bluetooth device over a serial (scriptable) interface we encourage checking out the zephyr Bluetooth Shell. This is maintained and released as a part of nRF Connect SDK and is located under …/zephyr/tests/Bluetooth/shell

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

is there a tutorial or a link to see commands lines ?

Do you think we can do similar things that with pc-ble-driver ?

Documentation online seems a bit lacking, but if you type help in the shell, you will see the supported commands.

Yes.

For exemple in pc-ble-driver i can update the firware with ble, is it possible to do it with bluetooth shell command ?

For DFU use mcumgr. You might find this post here useful.  Add DFU support to your application

thanks you for your answers

I need for my developpement to have one peripheral with sensors and to have a central control with shell command from a raspberry and use the data sensor with the rasberry, but also update the periphal firware with the central controled by the raspberry, this post use serial and an android app but not update bwith ble, do you have other links to help ?

I think it should be possible to run mcumgr on the raspberry, and do a DFU over BLE with that. See this link: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/services/device_mgmt/mcumgr.html
