BLE peripheral example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example creates GATT server and then starts advertising, waiting to be connected to a GATT client.

It uses ESP32's Bluetooth controller and NimBLE stack based BLE host.

This example aims at understanding GATT database configuration, advertisement and SMP related NimBLE APIs.

It also demonstrates security features of NimBLE stack. SMP parameters like I/O capabilities of device, Bonding flag, MITM protection flag and Secure Connection only mode etc., can be configured through menuconfig options.

For RPA feature (currently Host based privacy feature is supported), use API ble_hs_pvcy_rpa_config to enable/disable host based privacy, own_addr_type needs to be set to BLE_ADDR_RANDOM to use this feature. Please include ble_hs_pvcy.h while using this API. As ble_hs_pvcy_rpa_config configures host privacy and sets address in controller, it is necessary to call this API after host-controller are synced (e.g. in bleprph_on_sync callback).

To test this demo, any BLE scanner app can be used.

A Python based utility bleprph_test.py is also provided (which will run as a BLE GATT Client) and can be used to test this example.

Note :

  • Make sure to run python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt -r $IDF_PATH/tools/ble/requirements.txt to install the dependency packages needed.
  • Currently this Python utility is only supported on Linux (BLE communication is via BLuez + DBus).

How to use example

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig
  • Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options.

  • Select I/O capabilities of device from 'Example Configuration > I/O Capability', default is 'Just_works'.

  • Enable/Disable other security related parameters 'Bonding, MITM option, secure connection(SM SC)' from 'Example Configuration'.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Note

  • NVS support is not yet integrated to bonding. So, for now, bonding is not persistent across reboot.
