Hello all,
I have my BLE configured as follows:
My code is as follows
/******************************S T A R T ********* M A I N . C ******************************/
void monitorCybleState();
int main(){
CyBle_Start(StackEventHandler);
for(;;){
monitorCybleState();
}
return 0;
}
void monitorCybleState()
{
switch(CyBle_GetState()){
case CYBLE_STATE_STOPPED:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_INITIALIZING:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_CONNECTED:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_ADVERTISING:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_SCANNING:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_CONNECTING:
break;
case CYBLE_STATE_DISCONNECTED:
CyBle_GappStartAdvertisement(CYBLE_ADVERTISING_FAST);
CyBle_GapcStartScan(CYBLE_SCANNING_FAST);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
/******************************E N D ********* M A I N . C ******************************/
/**********************S T A R T *********** E V E N T . C **********************/
void StackEventHandler(uint32 event, void* eventParam){
switch(event){
case CYBLE_EVT_STACK_ON:
break;
case CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_PROGRESS_RESULT:
printf(".");
break;
case CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_START_STOP:
printf("CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_START_STOP\r\n");
break;
default:
break;
}
}
/**********************E N D **************** E V E N T . C ***********************/
/**********************OBSERVATIONS******************/
I see that advertisement and scanning are started. I can see my BLE advertising with the payload I configured. Also,the scanning is active as I can see the dots on my console. After a while I don't see any dots which means there are no scan events. This implies that scanning has stopped because there are active BLE devices emitting beacons all the time. I printed the value of CyBle_GetState() and it shows 4.
4 corresponds to CYBLE_STATE_SCANNING.
This implies that Cyble is still in scanning state but it is not scanning anymore. I am not sure why. I added debug messages to see if somehow CyBle_GapcStopScan() is being called. I didn't see my debug messages on console. So no. I am not sure why scan is stopping after a while. It stops at random times. However, advertisement is functioning well.
As of now the only way to fix this is using stack restart which is CyBle_Stop() and Cyble_Start() which starts the advertisement and scan again. Any suggestions on how to fix this without stack restart?
Thanks
