change MAC address in ble_app_beacon example

[Arun]

Greetings,

For my application,I need to change the nrf51's mac address. Previously I have changed the MAC id using the following code,

static ble_gap_addr_t m_central_addr;

m_central_addr.addr_type = BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_STATIC;

m_central_addr.addr[0] = (uint8_t)NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0];

m_central_addr.addr[1] = (uint8_t)(NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0] >> 8);

m_central_addr.addr[2] = (uint8_t)(NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0] >> 16);

m_central_addr.addr[3] = (uint8_t)(NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0] >> 24);

m_central_addr.addr[4] = (uint8_t)NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1];

m_central_addr.addr[5] = (uint8_t)((NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1] >> 8) | 0xC0); // 2MSB must be set 11

sd_ble_gap_addr_set(&m_central_addr);

The same working code is not working for ble_app_beacon example.

How can I change the MAC id for ble_app_beacon example.

Sorry but it works for me.

Hi endnote, Please try the above code in ble_app_beacon example. I am sure it wont work. The same code works for other examples in SDK.

Maybe the question is where you place it?

Hey Arun. What's the current status of this issue? Is it working now?

Hi Bjørn Kvaale,

It is not working.

The code i have posted above(for changing the MAC ID) is working for all the other examples but it is not working for "ble_app_beacon" example.

I found that the function used to set MAC id,

sd_ble_gap_address_set(uint8_t addr_cycle_mode, ble_gap_addr_t const *p_addr) is different as it takes two arguments in case of ble_app_beacon example.

But in all other examples the same function takes a single argument ,

sd_ble_gap_addr_set(&m_central_addr);

Can you please try changing the MAC ID in ble_app_beacon example.

Thanks Looking forward for your reply
