Add support for setting advertising data

[jockej]

I need to be able to set the advertising data for a project I'm working on. This seems to be possible with Bluez, as per here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/advertising-api.txt but I could not find a method to do it in tinyb (I'm working in Java).

I could give it a go, but I would need some pointers (:-)) on how to do it.

Or maybe somebody else feels like having a try :)

Hi @jockej have a look into this issue, #49

Was you able to implement BLE advertising? We try to do the same thing.

thx

[jockej]

As far as I understood #49 i solved.

This is not really the same thing, I believe. I want to set the advertising data when advertising. Not read advertisement data from other devices.

You wrote "I solved" so you intend you solved your requirement? Can you help?

Hi there, I'm trying also - as for tinyb - from dbus - c code c++, JNI and up to java. Made my functions and so - but on register _advertisement - it is ok and one instance is used as created LEAdvertiseingManager and LEAdvertisement - but some more stuff must do - leadvertising_manager1_call_register_advertisement_sync returns ok and get_active_instances become 1 - but I cannot sniff them from my other BLE device. With pyton script in examples is ok (example-advertisement). I'm using BlueZ 5,48 in experimental

Note that: for ; ---- a(qv) not a(sv) for my point of view

[mburger81]

@lachev WHAT? :) sorry but your message is cryptic for me :) Where is the LEAdvertisingManager?

[jockej]

@mburger81 Sorry, I meant "is solved". The last word on that thread seems to be that they got it working.

[lachev]

when you see /lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service - inside must be: ExecStart=/usr/local/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --experimental and then in d-feet uoy will see this interface

[mburger81]

Ok but that's not implemented in tinyb, right?

[lachev]

LEAdvertisingManager1.txt this is the interface that was unable to be seen

[lachev]

yes there is no code in tinyb except for auto generated one for LEAdvertisement and nothing for LEAddvertisingManager. Trying to find some solution from 2 weeks

@lachev Have you tried to implement this? Do you have a fork on github?

[lachev]

I have a fork – and I feel that I’m going closer – ASAP I have clear code I’ll do it.

@lachev beatufil, if you like we can try your fork.

[lachev]

This days it is full of printouts and commented code

You can check this https://github.com/carsonmcdonald/bluez-ibeacon (inside bluez-beacon - C written). It is simple and can be added somehow. It seems for me that HCI layer is very important for advertisements. There are some timings and so on. I cannot see it right now over DBUS but can be added like some properties or else.
