ble_app_hids_keyboard will not run if SEC_PARAM_BOND = 0

[EDBOND]

Hi Nordic Team,

We have no problem with using ble_app_hids_keyboard app,

However, in some use cases, we would like the application to run as "Just Works" to access other characteristics, say battery voltage characteristics for example. And well in some cases depending on the connected client HID can work without bonding too.

 Testing this just with nrf52 DVK,   When SEC_PARAM_BOND  = 0, the firmware faults.

In debug, runs to the last call in Main.c peer_manager_init();

Appears to be in the peer manager  pm_init(void)?

Any thoughs on how we can get this to run?

Regards,

Eric

Hi

Just to make sure, you know the difference between pairing and bonding, right? Because I think you might want to do pairing, but not bonding. My colleague Einar explains this very well here. 

You can also see how the battery service is implemented in the ble_app_hrs example project where it is added without using bonding. 

Best regards,

Simon
