Notes

  • The file “at_customize.bin” has to be downloaded, so that the relevant commands can be used. Please refer to How To Customize ble services for more details.

  • Before using other Bluetooth LE AT commands, you should run this command first to trigger the initialization process.

  • After the initialization, the Bluetooth LE role cannot be changed unless you run AT+RST to restart the system first and then re-initialize the Bluetooth LE role.

  • If you use an ESP device as a Bluetooth LE server, a service bin should be downloaded into flash.

    • To learn how to generate a service bin, please refer to esp-at/tools/readme.md.

    • The download address of the service bin is the “ble_data” address in esp-at/module_config/module_${platform}_default/at_customize.csv.

Notes

  • If you are using an ESP device as a Bluetooth LE server, a service bin should be downloaded into flash in order to provide services.

    • To learn how to generate a service bin, please refer to esp-at/tools/readme.md.

    • The download address of the service bin is the “ble_data” address in esp-at/module_config/module_${platform}_default/at_customize.csv.

  • This command should be called immediately to create services, right after the Bluetooth LE server is initialized; If a Bluetooth LE connection is established first, the service creation will fail.
