Re: Adding platform specific API to get public and/or random static address

Marcel: Thanks for the clarification on the public address and that for BLE the two LSbits of the MSbyte do not apply. I do understand the trickiness of changing the public address but it is certainly helpful for debugging/testing. > On Apr 3, 2017, at 9:38 AM, Marcel Holtmann

Re: Adding platform specific API to get public and/or random static address

Setting the public address from the host came from two things: bletiny and also my recollection of one of the vendor specific HCI commands that was discussed at Linaro Connect in Budapest this past March. I am trying to find the document we discussed in Budapest to confirm that this was one of

Re: Adding platform specific API to get public and/or random static address

Yep, except for one typo: ble_hw_get_public_addr() instead of ble_hs_get_public_addr(). I should have mentioned that, assuming we agree to this, the controller code will call that API and the host should not call it. I mentioned this API in case someone wants to modify how it works for them.

Adding platform specific API to get public and/or random static address

Hello: There has been some discussion of this already on the list but nothing has been done yet so I wanted to resurrect the conversation with some proposals. What we are trying to do here is the following: 1) Have the controller get a public device address without it being hardcoded. 2) Have
