CC2640R2F: How to remove connection params updates sent from simple_peripheral project

Part Number: CC2640R2F

CC2640R2 (BLE5)

Note: The following instructions have been written for SDK 3_40_00_10 but can be adapted to quite any SDK version (that is why I provided the sources but also the diff files)

At the end of this instruction, you will get a project which is not anymore able to send requests to update the connection parameters. The project will still be able to answer a connection request.
The goal is to save flash space and CPU time.

How to do this?

 

  1. Import the project you want (the OOB ble5_simple_peripheral or the project where you have already removed the display function, the secondary advertisement and the auto PHY functionalities [see here])
  2.  Do the following in simple_peripheral.c

    • Remove SimplePeripheral_processParamUpdate() function. Remove the call to the function (you can basically remove all the treatment of the events SP_SEND_PARAM_UPDATE_EVT and GAP_LINK_PARAM_UPDATE_EVENT)
    • Modify the spConnRec_t structure to remove the elements pParamUpdateEventData and pUpdateClock. Remove the code using those elements too.
    • Remove the list paramUpdateList (and the code referring to). As a result you can remove the functions SimplePeripheral_clearPendingParamUpdate()
    • Remove the definition of the struct spConnHandleEntry_t
    • Remove the inclusion of the list library: #include <ti/drivers/utils/List.h>

 

>> Here are the diff file and the file you are supposed to get if you also removed the display, the secondary advertisement and the auto PHY functionalities:
