Hi Bastien,

I agree, both contains the same description we can concatenate in one
property only.
Both values are used in the "Remote OOB Data Request Reply Command" only.

>From BT spec:
" Note: Each OOB transfer will have unique C and R values so after each OOB
transfer this command shall be used to obtain a new set of values for the next
OOB transfer."

Currently, I am not updating hash and randomizer automatically, it is
necessary run  "hciconfig -a hci0 oobdata".
An approach to update it automatically can be  call "Read Local OOB
Data Command" after "Remote OOB Data Request Event". If the remote oob
data is present "Remote OOB Data Request Reply Command" will be used
to notify the Host controller, it also means that the LOCAL oob data
will be used and a new value must be set for the next OOB transfer. At
the moment, I am not sure if it is correct update the local OOB data
immediately or  if it is necessary wait for link key event to avoid
some race condition.

I have only one NXP PN533 board, I wish I had two to test real peer to
peer transfer instead of peer<->tag.
For initial tests I developed a python script, but it is necessary to
type the oob data on both sides :-P

Cheers,
krau
