Detailed Description

Representation of a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).

UUIDs are 128-bit wide numbers used to identify data type and elements in many layers of the Bluetooth specification.

Two representations of UUIDS exist:

This class acts as an adapter over these two kinds of UUIDs to allow indiscriminate use of both forms in Mbed BLE APIs.

Note
32-bit UUID representation is not supported currently.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef uint8_t LongUUIDBytes_t[LENGTH_OF_LONG_UUID]

Type for a 128-bit UUID.

Definition at line 124 of file common/UUID.h.

typedef uint16_t ShortUUIDBytes_t

Type for a 16-bit UUID.

Definition at line 114 of file common/UUID.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumeration of byte ordering.

It is used to construct 128-byte UUIDs.

Enumerator
MSB 

Most significant byte first (at the smallest address).

LSB 

Least significant byte first (at the smallest address).

Definition at line 99 of file common/UUID.h.

Enumeration of the types of UUIDs.

Enumerator
UUID_TYPE_SHORT 

16-bit wide UUID representation.

UUID_TYPE_LONG 

128-bit wide UUID representation.

Definition at line 82 of file common/UUID.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UUID ( const char *  stringUUID)

Construct a 128-bit UUID from a string.

Parameters
[in]stringUUIDHuman readable representation of the UUID following the format XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.
Note
Upper and lower case are supported.
Hyphens are optional. The string must include at most four hyphens.
Internally, the UUID is stored in the little endian order as a 16-byte array.

Definition at line 149 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID ( const LongUUIDBytes_t  longUUID,
ByteOrder_t  order = UUID::MSB 
)

Construct a new UUID from a 128-bit representation.

Parameters
[in]longUUIDThe 128-bit (16-byte) of the UUID value.
[in]orderBytes order of longUUID.

Definition at line 200 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID ( ShortUUIDBytes_t  _shortUUID)

Creates a new 16-bit UUID.

The Bluetooth standard body defines 16-bit wide UUIDs. They are the shortened version of the UUID 0000xxxx-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB, where xxxx is the value of the 16-bit UUID.

Attention
16-bit UUIDs are not used in user defined data type or user defined element ID.
Parameters
[in]_shortUUID16-bit part of the standard UUID. The short UUID value.
Note
User defined UUIDs are commonly named vendor-specific UUIDs across the Bluetooth literature.

Definition at line 220 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID ( const UUID source)

UUID copy constructor.

Parameters
[in]sourceThe UUID to copy.

Definition at line 231 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID ( )

Default constructor.

Construct an invalid UUID.

Postcondition
shortOrLong() returns the value UUID_TYPE_SHORT.
getShortUUID() returns the value BLE_UUID_UNKNOWN.

Definition at line 253 of file common/UUID.h.

Member Function Documentation

const uint8_t* getBaseUUID ( ) const

Get a pointer to the UUID value based on the current UUID type.

Returns
A pointer to an uint16_t object if the UUID is 16 bits long.
A pointer to an array of 16 bytes if the UUID is 128 bits long.

Definition at line 297 of file common/UUID.h.

uint8_t getLen ( ) const

Get the length (in bytes) of the internal UUID representation.

Returns
sizeof(ShortUUIDBytes_t) if the UUID type is UUID_TYPE_SHORT.
LENGTH_OF_LONG_UUID if the UUID type is UUID_TYPE_LONG.

Definition at line 324 of file common/UUID.h.

ShortUUIDBytes_t getShortUUID ( ) const

Get the uint16_t value of the UUID.

Attention
This function is not used on long UUIDs.
Returns
The value of the shortened UUID.

Definition at line 313 of file common/UUID.h.

bool operator!= ( const UUID other) const

Not equal to operator.

Parameters
[in]otherThe UUID compared to this.
Returns
true if both UUIDs are not equal and false otherwise.

Definition at line 360 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID& operator= ( const UUID source)
default

UUID copy assignment.

Parameters
[in]sourceThe UUID to copy.
bool operator== ( const UUID other) const

Equal to operator between UUIDs.

Parameters
[in]otherThe UUID to compare to this.
Returns
true if both UUIDs are equal and false otherwise.

Definition at line 338 of file common/UUID.h.

void setupLong ( const LongUUIDBytes_t  longUUID,
ByteOrder_t  order = UUID::MSB 
)

Replace existing value with a 128-bit UUID.

Parameters
[in]longUUIDNew 16-byte wide UUID value.
[in]orderByte ordering of longUUID.

Definition at line 264 of file common/UUID.h.

UUID_Type_t shortOrLong ( ) const

Return the internal type of the UUID.

Returns
UUID_TYPE_SHORT if the UUID is 16-bit wide.
UUID_TYPE_LONG if the UUID is 128-bit wide.

Definition at line 286 of file common/UUID.h.

Field Documentation

const unsigned LENGTH_OF_LONG_UUID = 16
static

Definition at line 119 of file common/UUID.h.

const unsigned MAX_UUID_STRING_LENGTH = LENGTH_OF_LONG_UUID * 2 + 4
static
