 /**
  * Define device discovery, connection and link management procedures.
  *
  * - Device discovery: A device can advertise to nearby peers its existence,
  * identity and capabilities. Similarly, a device can scan its environment to
  * find advertising peers. The information acquired during the scan helps to
  * identify peers and understand their use. A scanner may acquire more information
  * about an advertising peer by sending a scan request. If the peer accepts scan
  * requests, it may reply with additional information about its state.
  *
  * - Connection: A bluetooth device can establish a connection to a connectable
  * advertising peer. Once the connection is established, both devices can
  * communicate using the GATT protocol. The GATT protocol allows connected
  * devices to expose a set of states that the other peer can discover, read and write.
  *
  * - Link Management: Connected devices may drop the connection and may adjust
  * connection parameters according to the power envelop needed for their
  * application.
  *
  * @par Accessing gap
  *
  * Instance of a Gap class for a given BLE device should be accessed using
  * BLE::gap(). The reference returned remains valid until the BLE instance
  * shut down (see BLE::shutdown()).
  *
  * @code
  * // assuming ble_device has been initialized
  * BLE& ble_device;
  *
  * ble::Gap& gap = ble_device.gap();
  * @endcode
  *
  * @par Advertising
  *
  * Advertising consists of broadcasting at a regular interval a small amount of
  * data containing valuable information about the device. These packets may be
  * scanned by peer devices listening on BLE advertising channels.
  *
  * Scanners may also request additional information from a device advertising by
  * sending a scan request. If the broadcaster accepts scan requests, it can reply
  * with a scan response packet containing additional information.
  *
  * Advertising parameters are updated using setAdvertisingParams(). The main
  * advertising payload is updated using setAdvertisingPayload(), and the scan response
  * is updated using setAdvertisingScanResponse(). If the advertising is already
  * updated, the data will take effect from the next advertising event.
  *
  * To create a valid advertising payload and scan response, you may use
  * AdvertisingDataBuilder. You must first allocate memory and create an mbed::Span and
  * pass that into the AdvertisingDataBuilder, which will only be able to add as much
  * data as fits in the provided buffer. The builder accepts any size of the buffer,
  * but for the created data to be usable, it must be smaller than the maximum data
  * length returned from getMaxAdvertisingDataLength().
  *
  * Another option is to use AdvertisingDataSimpleBuilder, which allocates memory
  * on the stack and offers a fluent interface at the expense of a reduced set of
  * APIs and error management options.
  *
  * @note Prior to Bluetooth 5, advertising and scanning payload size were limited
  * to LEGACY_ADVERTISING_MAX_SIZE. It changed with Bluetooth 5, and now the maximum
  * size of data that can be advertised depends on the controller. If  you wish
  * to be compatible with older devices, you may wish to advertise with the
  * LEGACY_ADVERTISING_HANDLE. This uses payloads no larger than LEGACY_ADVERTISING_MAX_SIZE
  * with that advertising set.
  *
  * @par Extended advertising
  *
  * Extended advertising allows for a wider choice of options than legacy advertising.
  * You can send bigger payloads and use different PHYs. This allows for bigger throughput
  * or longer range.
  *
  * Extended advertising may be split across many packets and takes place on both the
  * regular advertising channels and the rest of the 37 channels normally used by
  * connected devices.
  *
  * The 3 channels used in legacy advertising are called primary advertisement channels.
  * The remaining 37 channels are used for secondary advertising. Unlike sending data
  * during a connection, this allows the device to broadcast data to multiple devices.
  *
  * The advertising starts on the primary channels (which you may select) and continues
  * on the secondary channels as indicated in the packet sent on the primary channel.
  * This way, the advertising can send large payloads without saturating the advertising
  * channels. Primary channels are limited to 1M and coded PHYs, but secondary channels
  * may use the increased throughput 2M PHY.
  *
  * @par Periodic advertising
  *
  * Similarly, you can use periodic advertising to transfer regular data to multiple
  * devices.
  *
  * The advertiser uses primary channels to advertise the information needed to
  * listen to the periodic advertisements on secondary channels. This sync information
  * will be used by the scanner who can now optimize for power consumption and only
  * listen for the periodic advertisements at specified times.
  *
  * Like extended advertising, periodic advertising offers extra PHY options of 2M
  * and coded. The payload may be updated at any time and will be updated on the next
  * advertisement event when the periodic advertising is active.
  *
  * @par Advertising sets
  *
  * Advertisers may advertise multiple payloads at the same time. The configuration
  * and identification of these is done through advertising sets. Use a handle
  * obtained from createAvertisingSet() for advertising operations. After ending
  * all advertising operations, remove the handle from the system using
  * destroyAdvertisingHandle().
  *
  * Extended advertising and periodic advertising is an optional feature, and not all
  * devices support it. Some will only be able to see the now-called legacy advertising.
  *
  * Legacy advertising is available through a special handle, LEGACY_ADVERTISING_HANDLE.
  * This handle is always available, doesn't need to be created and can't be
  * destroyed.
  *
  * There is a limited number of advertising sets available because they require support
  * from the controller. Their availability is dynamic and may be queried at any time
  * using getMaxAdvertisingSetNumber(). Advertising sets take up resources even if
  * they are not actively advertising right now, so it's important to destroy the set
  * when you're done with it (or reuse it in the next advertisement).
  *
  * Periodic advertising and extended advertising share the same set but not the same
  * data. Extended advertising carries out periodic advertising synchronization
  * information. Therefore, to let other devices be aware that your device
  * exposes periodic advertising, you should start extended advertising of the set.
  * Subsequently, you may disable extended advertising, and the periodic advertising
  * will continue. If you start periodic advertising while extended advertising is
  * inactive, periodic advertising won't start until you start extended advertising
  * at a later time.
  *
  * @par Privacy
  *
  * Privacy is a feature that allows a device to avoid being tracked by other
  * (untrusted) devices. The device achieves it by periodically generating a
  * new random address. The random address may be a resolvable random address,
  * enabling trusted devices to recognize it as belonging to the same
  * device. These trusted devices receive an Identity Resolution Key (IRK)
  * during pairing. This is handled by the SecurityManager and relies on the
  * other device accepting and storing the IRK.
  *
  * You need to enable privacy by calling enablePrivacy() after having
  * initialized the SecurityManager because privacy requires SecurityManager
  * to handle IRKs. The behavior of privacy enabled devices is set by
  * using setCentralPrivacyConfiguration(), which specifies what the device
  * should be with devices using random addresses. Random addresses
  * generated by privacy enabled devices can be of two types: resolvable
  * (by devices who have the IRK) and unresolvable. Unresolvable addresses
  * can't be used for connecting and connectable advertising. Therefore, a
  * resolvable one will be used for these regardless of the privacy
  * configuration.
  *
  * @par Scanning
  *
  * Scanning consists of listening for peer advertising packets. From a scan, a
  * device can identify devices available in its environment.
  *
  * If the device scans actively, then it will send scan request to scannable
  * advertisers and collect their scan responses.
  *
  * Scanning is done by creating ScanParameters and applying them with
  * setScanParameters(). One configured, you may call startScan().
  *
  * When a scanning device receives an advertising packet, it will call
  * onAdvertisingReport() in the registered event handler. A whitelist may be used
  * to limit the advertising reports by setting the correct policy in the scan
  * parameters.
  *
  * @par Connection event handling
  *
  * A peer may connect device advertising connectable packets. The advertising
  * procedure ends as soon as the device is connected. If an advertising timeout
  * has been set in the advertising parameters then onAdvertisingEnd will be called
  * in the registered eventHandler when it runs out.
  *
  * A device accepting a connection request from a peer is named a peripheral,
  * and the device initiating the connection is named a central.
  *
  * Connection is initiated by central devices. A call to connect() will result in
  * the device scanning on any PHYs set in ConectionParamters passed in.
  *
  * Peripheral and central receive a connection event when the connection is
  * effective. If successful will result in a call to onConnectionComplete in the
  * EventHandler registered with the Gap.
  *
  * It the connection attempt fails it will result in onConnectionComplete called
  * on the central device with the event carrying the error flag.
  *
  * @par Changing the PHYsical transport of a connection
  *
  * Once a connection has been established, it is possible to change the physical
  * transport used between the local and the distant device. Changing the transport
  * can either increase the bandwidth or increase the communication range.
  * An increased bandwidth equals a better power consumption but also a loss in
  * sensibility and therefore a degraded range.
  *
  * Symmetrically an increased range means a lowered bandwidth and a degraded power
  * consumption.
  *
  * Applications can change the PHY used by calling the function setPhy. Once the
  * update has been made the result is forwarded to the application by calling the
  * function onPhyUpdateComplete of the event handler registered.
  *
  * @par disconnection
  *
  * The application code initiates a disconnection when it calls the
  * disconnect(Handle_t, DisconnectionReason_t) function.
  *
  * Disconnection may also be initiated by the remote peer or the local
  * controller/stack. To catch all disconnection events, application code may
  * set up an handler taking care of disconnection events by calling
  * onDisconnection().
  *
  * @par Modulation Schemes
  *
  * When supported by the host and controller you can select different modulation
  * schemes (@see BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 5.0 | Vol 1, Part A - 1.2):
  * - LE 1M PHY
  * - LE 2M PHY
  * - LE coded PHY
  *
  * You may set preferred PHYs (separately for RX and TX) using setPreferredPhys().
  * You may also set the currently used PHYs on a selected connection using setPhy().
  * Both of these settings are only advisory and the controller is allowed to make
  * its own decision on the best PHY to use based on your request, the peer's
  * supported features and the connection's physical conditions.
  *
  * You may query the currently used PHY using readPhy() which will return the
  * result through a call to the registered event handler. You may register the
  * handler with setEventHandler(). The events inform about the currently used
  * PHY and of any changes to PHYs which may be triggered autonomously by the
  * controller or by the peer.
