Using the GATT Layer Directly

This section describes how to use the GATT layer directly in the application. The functionality of the GATT layer is implemented in the library code but you can find the header functions can in gatt.h. You can find the complete API for the GATT layer in Section D. You can find more information on the functionality of these commands in the Device Information Service (Bluetooth Specification), version 1.0 (24-May-2011). GATT client applications uses these functions primarily. A few server-specific functions exist which are described in the API and not considered here. Most GATT functions return ATT events to the application, so consider the ATT API in Section D. Perform the following procedure to use the GATT layer when functioning as a GATT client (that is, in the SimpleBLECentral project):

  1. Initialize the GATT client. Do this in the application initialization function.
  2. code_sec5_23__swru271.gif
  3. Register to receive incoming ATT indications and notifications. Do this in the application initialization function.
  4. code_sec5_24__swru271.gif
  5. Perform a GATT client procedure. The following example uses GATT_WriteCharValue(), which is triggered by pressing the key on the left in the SimpleBLECentral application.
  6. code_sec5_25__swru271.gif
  7. Receive and handle the response to the GATT client procedure in the application. In the following example, the application receives an ATT_WRITE_RSP event. For a list of GATT commands and their corresponding ATT events, see Section D.6.
  8. code_sec5_26__swru271.gif

    NOTE

    Though the event sent to the application is an ATT event, it is sent as a GATT protocol stack message (GATT_MSG_EVENT).

    Besides receiving responses to its own commands, a GATT client may also receive asynchronous data from the GATT server as indications or notifications.

  9. Ensure the GATT client is registered to receive these ATT events in step 2.
  10. These events will also be sent as ATT events in GATT messages to the application and should be handled as described in this procedure.
