Generic Attribute Profile (gatt)#
The commands and events in this class can be used to browse and manage attributes in a remote GATT server.
gatt commands#
gatt_discover_characteristics#
This command can be used to discover all characteristics of the defined GATT service from a remote GATT database. This command generates a unique gatt_characteristic event for every discovered characteristic. Received gatt_procedure_completed event indicates that this GATT procedure has succesfully completed or failed with error.

This command can be used to add a characteristic value to the write queue of a remote GATT server and verify if the value was correctly received by the server. Received gatt_procedure_completed event indicates that this GATT procedure has succesfully completed or failed with error. Specifically, error code 0x0194 (data_corrupted) will be returned if the value received from the GATT server's response failed to pass the reliable write verification. At most ATT_MTU - 5 amount of data can be sent once. Writes are executed or cancelled with the execute_characteristic_value_write command. Whether the writes succeeded or not are indicated in the response of the execute_characteristic_value_write command.

gatt_prepare_characteristic_value_write#
This command can be used to add a characteristic value to the write queue of a remote GATT server. This command can be used in cases where very long attributes need to be written, or a set of values needs to be written atomically. At most ATT_MTU - 5 amount of data can be sent once. Writes are executed or cancelled with the execute_characteristic_value_write command. Whether the writes succeeded or not are indicated in the response of the execute_characteristic_value_write command.
In all cases where the amount of data to transfer fits into the BGAPI payload the command gatt_write_characteristic_value is recommended for writing long values since it transparently performs the prepare_write and execute_write commands.

gatt_read_characteristic_value#
This command can be used to read the value of a characteristic from a remote GATT database. A single gatt_characteristic_value event is generated if the characteristic value fits in one ATT PDU. Otherwise more than one gatt_characteristic_value events are generated because the firmware will automatically use the "read long" GATT procedure. A received gatt_procedure_completed event indicates that all data has been read successfully or that an error response has been received.
Note that the GATT client does not verify if the requested atrribute is a characteristic value. Thus before calling this command the application should make sure the attribute handle is for a characteristic value in some means, for example, by performing characteristic discovery.

This command can be used to read the characteristic value of a service from a remote GATT database by giving the UUID of the characteristic and the handle of the service containing this characteristic. A single gatt_characteristic_value event is generated if the characteristic value fits in one ATT PDU. Otherwise more than one gatt_characteristic_value events are generated because the firmware will automatically use the "read long" GATT procedure.

This command can be used to read a partial characteristic value with specified offset and maximum length from a remote GATT database. It is equivalent to gatt_read_characteristic_value if both the offset and maximum length parameters are 0. A single gatt_characteristic_value event is generated if the value to read fits in one ATT PDU. Otherwise more than one gatt_characteristic_value events are generated because the firmware will automatically use the "read long" GATT procedure.

gatt_read_multiple_characteristic_values#
This command can be used to read the values of multiple characteristics from a remote GATT database at once. The GATT server will return the values in one ATT PDU as the response. If the total set of values is greater than (ATT_MTU -
bytes in length, only the first (ATT_MTU - 1) bytes are included. A single gatt_characteristic_value event is generated, in which the characteristic is set to 0 and the data in value parameter is a concatenation of characteristic values in the order they were requested. Received gatt_procedure_completed event indicates that this GATT procedure has successfully completed or failed with error.
This command should be used only for characteristics values that have known fixed size, except the last one that could have variable length.

This command must be used to send a characteristic confirmation to a remote GATT server after receiving an indication.

Confirmation needs to be sent within 30 seconds, otherwise the GATT transactions between the client and the server are discontinued.

gatt_set_characteristic_notification#
This command can be used to enable or disable the notifications and indications being sent from a remote GATT server. This procedure discovers a characteristic client configuration descriptor and writes the related configuration flags to a remote GATT database. A received gatt_procedure_completed event indicates that this GATT procedure has successfully completed or that is has failed with an error.

gatt_procedure_completed | Procedure has been successfully completed or failed |
with error. | |
gatt_characteristic_value | If an indication or notification has been enabled |
for a characteristic, this event is triggered whenever an indication or | |
notification is sent by the remote GATT server. The triggering conditions on | |
the GATT server side are defined by an upper level, for example by a profile; | |
**so it is possible that no values are ever received, or that it may take | |
time, depending on how the server is configured.** |
gatt_set_max_mtu#
This command can be used to set the maximum size of ATT Message Transfer Units (MTU). If the given value is too large according to the maximum BGAPI payload size, the system will select the maximal possible value as the maximum ATT_MTU. If maximum ATT_MTU is larger than 23, MTU is exchanged automatically after a Bluetooth connection has been established.

gatt_write_characteristic_value_without_response#
This command can be used to write the value of a characteristic in a remote GATT server. This command does not generate any event. All failures on the server are ignored silently. For example, if an error is generated in the remote GATT server and the given value is not written into database no error message will be reported to the local GATT client. Note that this command cannot be used to write long values. At most ATT_MTU - 3 amount of data can be sent once.

gatt_characteristic_value#
This event indicates that the value of one or several characteristics in the remote GATT server was received. This event is triggered as a result of several commands: gatt_read_characteristic_value, gatt_read_characteristic_value_from_offset, gatt_read_characteristic_value_by_uuid, gatt_read_multiple_characteristic_values; and when the remote GATT server sends indications or notifications after enabling notifications with gatt_set_characteristic_notification. The parameter att_opcode reveals which type of GATT transaction triggered this event. In particular, if the att_opcode type is handle_value_indication (0x1d), the application needs to confirm the indication with gatt_send_characteristic_confirmation.
