Example for BLE on ODIN-W2

[janjongboom]

Could someone ping someone in u-blox, and see if they can publish a BLE example for the ODIN-W2? They ship a binary driver with the board, but no example code. I assume their own SDK examples for BLE work, so maybe publish an mbed program with those loaded.

Preferably they'd adopt to the mbed BLE API, but that's a longer shot.

Has the example been published or not?

Any progress on this? There is quite a bit of interest in the mbed community for BLE on ODIN-W2

Hi, we're currently working on the C++ BLE API port so we would recommend to use that API instead of the C API. Once the port is finished the mbed BLE examples should work.

Meanwhile it should be possible to test with the https://github.com/ARMmbed/ble-x-nucleo-idb0xa1 shield on the ODIN board. There is a name clash in the current ODIN binary with the ST NUCLEO BLE code. HCI_Init needs to be renamed in ble_hci.c to make it build.

I have an EVK-ODIN-W2 based application that could really benefit from mbed BLE support that makes use of the on-board BLE radio in the ODIN-W2xx module. Is there an update on the release date for the C++ BLE API port mentioned by andreaslarssonublox?

Hi,
Support for BLE in Arm Mbed OS5 (C++ API) is being integrated. Plan is to provide a first set of functionality in Q1 2018.

Hi ,
Is it possible to use mbed 5.x easy-connect with the ODIN-W2 module configured as an access point instead of as a station? If so, would it be possible to change from one mode to the other programmatically?

Hi, @BruceSHoward access point mode is not yet supported for the C++ Wi-Fi API.

Hi Andreas Larsson,
Are there any plans to support access point mode, with the ability to switch between access point and station mode, in the future?

[andreaslarssonublox]

@BruceSHoward Yes, we plan to add support for access point mode. I think that switching between station mode and AP should be possible.

We have started the work on mbed BLE support in this sprint (as a high priority feature).
