Hello everyone,

I have a question about the Bluetooth API, i want to add a client/central (Android Phone) to a whitelist in my peripheral/server bluetooth device (nrf51 DK), but i don't know if it is possible to do this and how ?

Thanks, best regards. Y.

Hello Yacire,

With the latest update of BLE-API, it is possible to use white listing. In the file Gap.h lives the following functions which deal with white listing:

  • Gap::setWhitelist Set the whitelist to use
  • Gap::setXXXXPolicyMode set the policy mode regarding whitelisting
