CC2650: BLE Device Monitor: What does "Primary Service validation failed" mean? Cont...

John Child

Part Number: CC2650

Picking up where I left off some months ago...

When I add a custom Primary GATT service with random uuid (00000000-5578-4167-a937-787e755c37e1) to a BLE server the BLE Device Monitor (v2.9.0) connects to it OK but reports "Primary Service validation failed":-

And nothing is shown in the BLE Service/Characteristics window.

Could someone familiar with the BLE Device Monitor please explain what this message means?

Other clues:-

If I change the custom Service definition to Secondary, the other "Primary" services are correctly enumerated and listed by DeviceMonitor. The other primary services include one with a 128bit UUID.
Removing all custom characteristics from the custom service makes no difference to Device Monitor.
BTool v1.41.11 appears to enumerate all service and characteristics without any errors repotred. See below:-

BLE Device Monitor does not support a full set of services, it is primarily geared towards those use by SensorTag.

You may however have some luck with adding your own services to the list found here:

Jomar,

If "primary service validation" indicates a BLE Device Monitor configuration issue and not a BLE protocol violation then I can move on from this, as I can do everything I need to do with BTool.

Thanks.
