Genius 3186 points

Part Number: SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-SDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2651R3, SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

Hello,

My customer is testing CC2651R3 with SIMPLELINK-LOWPOWER-F2-SDK.

They change to "No Display or Input Device" in simple_peripheral example,

Bonding success/failure results are irregular.

If set "Display Only Device" or "Display and Yes and No Capable" ,

Bonding are success in a steady manner.

Another setting :

　・Maximum Number of Supported Bonds: 1
　・Pairing Mode: 「Initiate a pairing request」
　・Sync Acceptlist With Bonded Devices：Yes
　・LRU Bond Replacement：Yes

[Question]

Is the pairing method setting only IO Capabilites?

Thanks,

Hello Nima,

Thanks for your information.

Hello,

The link provided runs through all the pairing settings. IO Capabilities is one method, but the Bond Manager settings in sysconfig has more settings that can be changed like MITM, secure connection, etc. I would have the customer go through the link and run through the lab to learn about the different pairing schemes available.

In addition to the lab I provided, we also have documentation that goes over BLE security/privacy: Privacy — SimpleLink CC13XX/CC26XX SDK BLE5-Stack User's Guide 2.02.07.00 documentation

The above should have everything they need.
