Can I use the smartphone APP and peripheral device in the central through bonding?

pkr2258

hi,

I am reviewing development in the environment below.

* HW : nRF52832

* SW : SDK -> example -> ble_app_uart_c

In the nRF52-DK board, we reviewed the example of connecting central and peripheral with the ble_app_uart example. What I would like to inquire about is...

When central is configured with ble_app_uart_c, Whether or not the APP of the peripheral device and the smart phone can be used at the same time through bonding.

I wonder if it is possible to register the APP of the smart phone in the central device and also register the peripheral device and reconnect each one through bonding.

thank.

    Great question—this kind of scenario comes up a lot when designing around BLE multipoint setups. Yes, it is possible to use a smartphone app and a peripheral device while your central maintains bonded connections, but managing the pairing context and link security is crucial—especially if you're switching roles dynamically or maintaining long-lived bonds across sessions.

    If you’re building something complex—like IoT devices that interface with both mobile and embedded ecosystems—it’s worth checking out Traders Union too. While it’s trading-focused, they’ve got some solid insights into systems thinking and architecture strategy that surprisingly carry over well to embedded dev.

    Hope this helps! Curious to hear how you’re handling the bond management on your stack.
