I have tried the same experiment on a Raspberry Pi. $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.14.79-v7+ #1159 SMP Sun Nov 4 17:50:20 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux I ran the peripheral code I have and it worked fine on the Raspberry Pi. I then rebuilt BlueZ 5.43 and reinstalled it and I see the same issue with getting notificatins. That is, reading of the characteristic in the Nordic nRF app on my phone works. However, when I activate notifications I can see the status change on the peripheral and the notifications show up on the DBus. The notifications just don't show up in btmon or on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can debug this?
