CC256x BLE to iOS - how to retrieve iOS device name?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438

Hi all,

We are using an MSP430F5438 and CC256x to talk BLE to iOS, WinPhone and Android devices. If an android or winphone device is connected I can call GAP_Query_Remote_Device_Name() and it returns the correct device name whether connected via BLE or BDR.

However, if I make that call to an iOS device via BLE I only receive a single character back, a '*'. I have tried with 2 iphones and an ipod. We don't have MFI so I cannot connect via BDR and see if the result is the same. Is there some other way to get the device name in BLE in the bluetopia stack?

Regards,

Barak

Hi,

Have you tried using the GetLERemoteName function from the sample apps after doing a GATT Service Discovery? That works from our side.

Thanks,

Unfortunately we aren't acting as a client with the cc256x. We are acting as a server and exposing characteristics to the phone to read/write to. Do I need to have performed GATT Service Discovery to make the above call work? I am not currently doing that in our application.
