Functions

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_register_callback(esp_gatts_cb_t callback)

This function is called to register application callbacks with BTA GATTS module.

Returns

  • ESP_OK : success

  • other : failed

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_app_register(uint16_t app_id)

This function is called to register application identifier.

Returns

  • ESP_OK : success

  • other : failed

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_app_unregister(esp_gatt_if_t gatts_if)

unregister with GATT Server.

Parameters

gatts_if -- [in] GATT server access interface

Returns

  • ESP_OK : success

  • other : failed

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_create_service(esp_gatt_if_t gatts_if, esp_gatt_srvc_id_t *service_id, uint16_t num_handle)

Create a service. When service creation is done, a callback event ESP_GATTS_CREATE_EVT is called to report status and service ID to the profile. The service ID obtained in the callback function needs to be used when adding included service and characteristics/descriptors into the service.

Parameters

  • gatts_if -- [in] GATT server access interface

  • service_id -- [in] service ID.

  • num_handle -- [in] number of handle requested for this service.

Returns

  • ESP_OK : success

  • other : failed

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_create_attr_tab(const esp_gatts_attr_db_t *gatts_attr_db, esp_gatt_if_t gatts_if, uint16_t max_nb_attr, uint8_t srvc_inst_id)

Create a service attribute tab.

Parameters

  • gatts_attr_db -- [in] the pointer to the service attr tab

  • gatts_if -- [in] GATT server access interface

  • max_nb_attr -- [in] the number of attribute to be added to the service database.

  • srvc_inst_id -- [in] the instance id of the service

Returns

  • ESP_OK : success

  • other : failed

esp_err_t esp_ble_gatts_add_included_service(uint16_t service_handle, uint16_t included_service_handle)

This function is called to add an included service. This function have to be called between 'esp_ble_gatts_create_service' and 'esp_ble_gatts_add_char'. After included service is included, a callback event ESP_GATTS_ADD_INCL_SRVC_EVT is reported the included service ID.

Parameters

  • service_handle -- [in] service handle to which this included service is to be added.
