Central HIDS example can't connect with BLE HOGP mouse

[tadakado]

Hi, I tested Central HIDS example in nRF Connect SDK 2.1.0 with NRF52840DK. The example works with my BLE keyboard, but does not work with my BLE mice. The followings are messages for the BLE mice. How can I modify the example to connect them? The first mouse can connect with nRF Connect for Desktop, and the other can't. I have attached the connection information.

Hi,

With the first mouse you get "The discovery procedure failed with -3". 3 is -ESRCH, and lookin gat the implementation of gatt_dm.c this is only used in one case:

	cur_attr = attr_find_by_handle(dm, attr->handle);
	if (!cur_attr) {
		/* We should never be here is the server is working properly */
		discovery_complete_error(dm, -ESRCH);
		return BT_GATT_ITER_STOP;
	}

which is when the attribute handle is not found. I cannot see from the log which attribute this is though, but it would seem that the mouse GATT server does not have it.

With the second mouse you get "Failed to set security: -12" (BT_HCI_ERR_CMD_DISALLOWED), which is the same as in this thread. We cannot say more about the cause from the error, so a sniffer trace would be the natural next step.

Hi, thanks for the replay. I have attached a sniffer capture data for another mouse (Logitech M650). It seems not much information. Is this the data for the next step? I used nrf_sniffer_for_bluetooth_le_4.1.0 with nrf52840 dongle and Wireshark 3.6.8. The connection information is as follows:

Can you upload the full sniffer trace instead (the pcap file)?

Also, it could be interesting to see a trace with both the working and failing mouse to compare. And just to be sure, the problem here is different behavior with the two mouses right? And not the order of which mouse you try to connect? (Reading the initial question again I was a bit unsure). If you can elaborate that would be good.

Now, Logitech M650 works with the Central HIDS example! I just recompile it with the default settings, and it works.

I have attached the files for Logitech (success), Elecom (fail) and SANWA (fail). Below are the outputs from the console.

I want to connect keyboard and mouse to nRF52. My problem is that some mice can't connect with the Central HIDS example. I want to support various BLE mice to connect. (I can use Logitech but I want to use other mouse.)

Hi,

The sniffer traces only shows advertising and nothing of the connection, so there is not much that can be seen from those.

Without sniffer traces we can still look at the errors though, and the first error for both devices is "Failed to set security: -12", which is -ENOMEM. As this happens for peripheral 2 and 3 this makes me wonder if the issue here is that you have a configuration issue where you do not support enough bonds. Can you try to add CONFIG_BT_MAX_PAIRED=4 to your prj.conf (or another number, which is at least as high as the number of bonds you need)? The default value here is 1.
