BLE: Multiple characteristics in one service

[Vaskov]

Hi I have tried suggestion from https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=8151, I want to add two characteristics in a service. I believe relevant part of the code is presented bellow (from function gatts_profile_event_handler):

Code: Select all

    case ESP_GATTS_CREATE_EVT:
        ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "CREATE_SERVICE_EVT, status %d,  service_handle %d\n", param->create.status, param->create.service_handle);
        gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle = param->create.service_handle;
        gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid.len = ESP_UUID_LEN_16;
        gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid.uuid.uuid16 = GATTS_CHAR_UUID;

        esp_ble_gatts_start_service(gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle);
        profile_property = ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_READ | ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_WRITE | ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_NOTIFY;
        // First characteristics
        esp_err_t add_char_ret = esp_ble_gatts_add_char(gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle, &gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid,
                                                        ESP_GATT_PERM_READ | ESP_GATT_PERM_WRITE,
                                                        profile_property,
                                                        &gatts_demo_char1_val, NULL);
        if (add_char_ret){
            ESP_LOGE(GATTS_TAG, "add char failed, error code =%x",add_char_ret);
        }
        break;
    case ESP_GATTS_ADD_INCL_SRVC_EVT:
        break;
    case ESP_GATTS_ADD_CHAR_EVT: {
        uint16_t length = 0;
        const uint8_t *prf_char;

        ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "ADD_CHAR_EVT, status %d,  attr_handle %d, service_handle %d\n",
                param->add_char.status, param->add_char.attr_handle, param->add_char.service_handle);
        if (param->add_char.char_uuid.uuid.uuid16 == GATTS_CHAR_UUID){
            ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "Add 1");
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle = param->create.service_handle;
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid.len = ESP_UUID_LEN_16;
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid.uuid.uuid16 = GATTS_CHAR_UUID2;

            profile_property = ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_READ | ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_WRITE | ESP_GATT_CHAR_PROP_BIT_NOTIFY;
            // Second characteristics
            esp_err_t add_char_ret = esp_ble_gatts_add_char(gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle, &gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_uuid,
                                                            ESP_GATT_PERM_READ | ESP_GATT_PERM_WRITE,
                                                            profile_property,
                                                            &gatts_demo_char2_val, NULL);
            if (add_char_ret){
                ESP_LOGE(GATTS_TAG, "add char failed, error code =%x",add_char_ret);
            }
            ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "End Add 1");
        } 
        else {
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].char_handle = param->add_char.attr_handle;
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].descr_uuid.len = ESP_UUID_LEN_16;
            gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].descr_uuid.uuid.uuid16 = ESP_GATT_UUID_CHAR_CLIENT_CONFIG;
            esp_err_t get_attr_ret = esp_ble_gatts_get_attr_value(param->add_char.attr_handle,  &length, &prf_char);
            if (get_attr_ret == ESP_FAIL){
                ESP_LOGE(GATTS_TAG, "ILLEGAL HANDLE");
            }

            ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "the gatts demo char length = %x\n", length);
            for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){
                ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "prf_char[%x] =%x\n",i,prf_char[i]);
            }
            esp_err_t add_descr_ret = esp_ble_gatts_add_char_descr(gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].service_handle, &gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_APP_ID].descr_uuid,
                                                                    ESP_GATT_PERM_READ | ESP_GATT_PERM_WRITE, NULL, NULL);
            if (add_descr_ret){
                ESP_LOGE(GATTS_TAG, "add char descr failed, error code =%x", add_descr_ret);
            }
        }
        break;
    }

I know UUIDs should be ordered, so this is how it looks like:

Code: Select all

#define GATTS_CHAR_UUID      0xFF01
#define GATTS_CHAR_UUID2      0xFF02

The problem is that I am getting error:

Code: Select all

E (1075) BT_APPL: service not created

And only first characteristics is created and no descriptor is added. The idea was to have two similar characteristics within one service with uuids as GATTS_CHAR_UUID and GATTS_CHAR_UUID2.
