I'm working again on nordic chips and I would eventually like to use BLE. I keep coming back to all this work I've done, and while it was fairly functional and most likley needs some robustness improvements, debugging this was really painful (since it is at the limit of what you can introspect with a logic analyzer and a packet sniffer, and placing a breakpoint on time-critical code breaks everything). But overall, I don't like the idea that only me knows this code well enough to find any issues. Ideally, someone else would be willing to take over what I've done, test it and help maintain it. But I think it is just too much of a task. So, I'm currently considering going the softdevice route. To me at least it makes sense since I can assume the controller code is well tested and up-to-date with recent standards. Also, I feel it may not be that hard to make it work (at least not that hard as it is to debug RADIO code). @acassis I remember you mentioned the zGlue project (and I think there was even someone from that project that you mentioned could offer help). It would be cool to know at least about the general strategy they followed, since I see the softdevice uses an SVCall interface and it would probably require some careful consideration to tie it into NuttX. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about my current thoughts. I realize it is quite a lot of work that may end up nowhere but I'd rather continue putting effort in something that I can trust and works well. cc: @btashton (since I think you have experience with BLE stuff you may have an opinion about it) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
