Updated NimBLE fork to use as a separate ESP32 component.

esp-nimble-component

Updated esp-nimble fork to use as a separate ESP32 component in ESP-IDF v3.2 and v3.3.

Purpose:

This repo is provided to allow ESP-IDF v3.2 & v3.3 users to use NimBLE for their BLE projects instead of bluedroid.

Arduino as a component Note:

If you are using IDF 3.3, which already includes NimBLE, and also using Arduino as a component you will need this to use NimBLE as well.
This is because enabling NimBLE in menuconfig will disable bluedroid and will result in compilation
errors that require disabling many Arduino libraries.
This repo solves that by using NimBLE as a component in the project folder.

Using:

Download or clone this repo into your project/components folder and run menuconfig.
Configure settings in main menu -> NimBLE Options.

DO NOT enable NimBLE in Component config -> Bluetooth if using v3.3.2 and Arduino (see note above). Bluetooth and Bluedroid both have to be enabled though.

A C++ library is available here for use with NimBLE that is (mostly) compatible
with the original cpp_utils and esp32-Arduino BLE library.

Current tracking

This repo is currently using espressif/esp-nimble @f4ae049

esp-nimble-component's Issues

Cant compile with arduino-esp32 v3.3 and idf 3.3

Hi, cant get it to build.
This is what i did:

cp -r ~/esp-mdf/esp-idf/examples/get-started/hello_world ./hw
cd hw
mkdir -p components
cd components
git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/ arduino -b latest-3.3 --recurse-submodules
git clone https://github.com/h2zero/esp-nimble-component
cd ..
idf.py menuconfig
idf.py build
idf.py build > build.log

Getting the following error:

Correlation between NimBLE and ESP-IDF

I'm trying to create a specific BLE advertisement that is 16 bit. In the ESP-IDF way, I would set some advertisement parameters about the GAP Ad type such as: advParams.adv_type = ADV_TYPE_IND, which in their API is defined as "Service Data - 16-bit UUID" and defined as 0x16.

Also, I usually write the Ad data raw to the device using their API call like this: esp_ble_gap_config_adv_data_raw(msg, length)

Is there an equivalent way to handle these in Nimble? Thank you.
