Hi,

I am trying to implement a BLE peripheral with CYW4343W that connects without advertising.

On CYW4343W datasheet (8.2 - Link Control Layer) it is stated that the LCU containts a command controller that takes commands from the software.

1 - Is it possible to access this command controller with WICED HCI, standard HCI or a backplane command?

2 - If yes, what are this controller capabilities? Where are they documented?

3 - Is it possible to change the states of the BLE link in order to enable a peripheral to connect to a central (respond to a connection requests) without being in the advertising state?

Thanks in advance.

Hi rafael.pgw.eng_4112161​,

Cypress BLE stack do not provide this feature. We have API wiced_bt_gatt_le_connect() where you can specify BD address of the peripheral and can connect to it directly but peripheral should be in advertising mode for the same.
