GATT server

[Miklós Fazekas <mfazekas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm trying to develop a GATT server with bluez on a raspberry to
communicate with iOS via BLE.

I've managed to get one working with bluez 5.28 based on
plugins/gatt-example.c (gatt_service_add). But i have some weird
issues when sending more 70 bytes in a packet to iOS devices - not
always but sometimes.

So i try to upgrade bluez to investigate on the latest version. My
understanding is that while the plugins/gatt_service_add is still in
5.37 repo, and they compile fine, they are now depreacted, and dbus is
the replacement.

I'm a dbus newby. I configured/running with experimental. Moreover
python example (../test/example-gatt-server) seems to work fine. But
running C example (tools/gatt-service) gives me this error:

   RegisterService: Method "RegisterService" with signature "oa{sv}"
on interface "org.bluez.GattManager1" doesn't exist

But my limited dbus fu on python showed this signature for the method.
Does the example tools/gatt-service works? Can anyone give me pointer
to figure out the RegisterService issue above?

Thanks,
Miklós

Linux raspberrypi 4.1.13-v7+


When running the python example:

sudo ../test/example-gatt-server
GetManagedObjects
GetManagedObjects
GetManagedObjects
GATT service registered
GATT service registered
GATT service registered


And in bluetoothd log i see services registered:

For the C program i see this in dbus monitor:
