Re: [PATCH] device: Add device type property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Marcel,

After giving it more thought, I would like to propose that this
additional property corresponds with Device Type as defined in Generic
Access Profile:

As stated in Bluetooth Core Specification Version 5.2, Vol 3, Part C
(Generic Access Profile):
This profile defines three device types based on the supported Core
Configurations as defined in [Vol 0] Part B, Section 3.1. The device
types are shown in Table 1.1:
* BR/EDR
* LE only
* BR/EDR/LE

Therefore, to be as close to the spec as possible, I propose that the
property be named GAPDeviceType, and the possible values be "br/edr",
"le-only", "br/edr/le".

What do you think? Thanks for reviewing this proposal!

If we start exposing BR/EDR vs LE or its combination (and we might also consider HS even while not used these days), then we need to be consistent with our terminology across the APIs.
