GATT SERVER API¶
Overview¶
Application Example¶
Check bluetooth/bluedroid/ble folder in ESP-IDF examples, which contains the following demos and their tutorials:
This is a GATT sever demo and its tutorial. This demo creates a GATT service with an attribute table, which releases the user from adding attributes one by one. This is the recommended method of adding attributes.
This is a GATT server demo and its tutorial. This demo creates a GATT service by adding attributes one by one as defined by Bluedroid. The recommended method of adding attributes is presented in example above.
This is a BLE SPP-Like demo. This demo, which acts as a GATT server, can receive data from UART and then send the data to the peer device automatically.
API Reference¶
Functions¶
-
esp_err_t
esp_ble_gatts_register_callback
(esp_gatts_cb_t callback)¶ This function is called to register application callbacks with BTA GATTS module.
- Return
- ESP_OK : success
- other : failed
-
esp_err_t
esp_ble_gatts_app_register

-
esp_err_t
esp_ble_gatts_create_service
(esp_gatt_if_t gatts_if, esp_gatt_srvc_id_t *service_id, uint16_t num_handle)¶ Create a service.
