CBMutableCharacteristic properties writeWithoutResponse value changes in central application - swift

I'm making central and peripheral bluetooth application by CoreBluetooth but having trouble with the following.
Make characteristic and set properties .writeWithoutResponse in peripheral application by this code.
CBMutableCharacteristic(type: 'Any UUID', properties: .writeWithoutResponse, value: nil, permissions: .writeable)
setting properties 0x04. (writeWithoutResponse is 0x04)
Start advertising on peripheral application.
On central application, get the characteristic at this function
CBPeripheralDelegate.peripheral(:didDiscoverCharacteristicsFor)
but characteristic.properties value is changed from 0x04 to 0x84.
I think it looks like set .extendedProperties by CoreBluetooth.
I'm worrying about the value of .writeWithoutResponse is 0x04 but why properties changed to 0x84 on central application and I need get know how to set value 0x04 in central characteristic.
someone please help.
I searched for a solution but didn't find it

HALL Low Level Alternate pull push

I want to Initialize and send a single int using UART in blue_pill (STM32F10C8). Manual ask to set GPIO mode on ALTRN_PULL_PUSH in blue_pill. But Low level HALL library dosn't have such a option. Here is my code for initializing the UART:
void uart2_init()
{
LL_APB1_GRP1_EnableClock(LL_APB2_GRP1_PERIPH_GPIOA);
LL_APB1_GRP1_EnableClock(LL_APB2_GRP1_PERIPH_USART1);
LL_GPIO_SetPinMode(GPIOA, LL_GPIO_PIN_9, LL_GPIO_MODE_ALTERNATE); // ***this line should be corrected***
LL_GPIO_SetPinSpeed(GPIOA, LL_GPIO_PIN_9, LL_GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_50MHz);
LL_USART_SetTransferDirection(USART1, LL_USART_DIRECTION_TX);
LL_USART_ConfigCharacter(USART1, LL_USART_DATAWIDTH_8B, LL_USART_PARITY_NONE, LL_USART_STOPBITS_1);
LL_USART_SetBaudRate (USART1, 8000000, 9600);
LL_USART_Enable(USART1);
}
I need to set pin mode to "LL_GPIO_MODE_ALTERNATE_PUSH_PULL" but the library dosn't provide
it. Can anyone correct me?
I think you should use LL_GPIO_SetPinOutputType(GPIO_TypeDef *GPIOx, uint32_t PinMask, uint32_t OutputType) function.
Which allows You to set output type of pin as :
LL_GPIO_OUTPUT_PUSHPULL
LL_GPIO_OUTPUT_OPENDRAIN
I am highly recommend You to search this kind of information in - UM1850, where You can find a lot of information, for e.g. there is a information about above function on page 807.

Can't receive from USB bulk endpoint despite Windows enumerates and libusb reads descriptor of STM32 custom device class

For a fast ADC sampling USB device, I am using the USB 2.0 High Speed capable STM32F733 with the embedded USB-HS PHY. In USBView, I can see that the device is enumerated, the libusb code opens the device and claims interface, but when I try to receive data with libusb_bulk_transfer, the operation times out (return code -12). Things I have tried: I have confirmed than when I request data with libusb_bulk_transfer, the device is interrupted. Note: I have DMA enabled in my class configuration C file and it is not clear to me how that is triggered. I have verified that the transfersize and packet count registers are being set correctly by the LL library function, and that when I request data from
Any tips on debugging such problems will be much appreciated - this board is my undergrad thesis due in under two months!
Desktop sequence:
libusb_get_device_list, libusb_get_device_descriptor, libusb_open, libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii, libusb_free_device_list, libusb_bulk_transfer(devh, fat_EPIN_ADDR, inframe, fat_EPIN_SIZE, &gotBytes, 100). Where gotBytes is integer, and inframe is a large array.
Device firmware:
MX_USB_DEVICE_Init();
uint8_t txBuffer[10*fat_EPIN_SIZE];
while (1)
{
USBD_LL_Transmit(&hUsbDeviceHS, Custom_fat_EPIN_ADDR, txBuffer, Custom_fat_EPIN_SIZE);
HAL_Delay(1);
}
Custom_fat_EPIN_SIZE is 0x200 and the endpoint address is 0x81 (EP IN 1)
Installed driver for device is WinUSB (verified in Device Manger to be winusb.sys), and I am linking libusb-1.0 into my desktop program. You can find my source code at https://gitlab.com/tywonemi-school-stuff/silicon-radar-fun, the firmware is My SW/v1 and the desktop software is a Qt Creator project in My SW/Viewer, of note is usb.cpp. You can also compare with testing project/HIDTest, which is code that I tested with STM32F303 nucleo dev board where I was able to read an array through IN bulk endpoint with the Viewer application. However, F3 has the USB peripheral, while F7 has OTG_USB, and I am now attempting USB 2.0 compliant HS so there may be more protocol-based pitfalls. You can also find the output of the device descriptor etc from USBView in my SW/USBView_broken.txt
EDIT 1: I have found finally some concrete error in the STM32 behavior. The DMAADDR is set for EPIN 0x81, and never increments, despite the DMA being enabled. I have went through literally every occurrence of the word "DMA" in the USB_OTG periphery.
I thought it might be that my linker script makes my array be stored in DTCM or similar, and the OTG DMA can't access it, but the address of txBuffer is 0x2003EBEC which is in SRAM2. The AHB matrix in the reference manual clearly shows, that the USB OTG HS DMA is master for a bus that SRAM2 is a slave of. And DTCM is connected too. I will look for application notes for USB OTG HS DMA - it just seems to be refusing to copy data!
I have fixed my issue by disabling the DMA setting. I have re-read the relevant portions of the reference manual and still don't know how exactly the values propagate into the Tx FIFOs. It is possible that DMA-less operation will be a major bottleneck in my project, I might return to this later.

Cannot init NRF24L01+ registers using SPI and STM32F303

Am trying to initialize the NRF24L01+ registers using SPI but they always return 0x00.
According to the datasheet, Table 20 on page 51, all write commands will have a pattern of b001x xxxx, which i understood as having a 0x2x pattern.
In my snapshot below, i send the register value, for example register 0x00 will be sent as 0x20 indicating a write command to that register and then i send the value to be written on that register.
As you see on the MISO line, the value is 0x00 even when am trying to write a 0x08 which should be the default value according to page 57 of the datasheet.
I still dont know why its returning 0x00 even when i independently try to read the contents of that register later on without writing to it. I still get 0x00. The same applies to all other registers that am trying to re-init.
Anyone who has experienced this behaviour elsewhere or is it me that is having something wrong?
The NRF24 am trying to program here is this type from sparkfun
You are close. The datasheet shows write register as 001A AAAA and read as 000A AAAA, where the 5 A's represent the register you want to write to. The spec states that while the command is being sent (read, write, read payload, write payload, flush, activate, and so on), the device will return the status register. In your data, the device is responding with 0x0E, which is correct; decoded is is saying no errors and no data received or pending to transmit. If you want to see if the command you send was accepted, you need to first write the data and then read the data. For example, let's say we want to write the config register to enable the device as a receiver, 2 byte CRC with Rx interrupts enabled.
First, you would send 0b00100000 (0x20), 0b00111111 (0x3F). The device will respond with 0b00001110 (0x0e), 0b00000000 (0x00). This is what you are seeing. If you want to verify the configuration register, you need to then send 0b00000000 (0x00),which is the command to read the config register, then 0b00000000 (0x00), which is a dummy byte to clock out the data. The device will respond with 0x0e, which is the status, and then 0x3F assuming you configured as I did above.
Note that there are more commands than just reading and writing the registers, there are specific commands to fill and read the pipeline data.
Hope this helps.

Confusion over CoreMIDI Destinations

Given the following code if I use the first method in the if branch to obtain a MIDIDestination the code works correctly, and MIDI data is sent. If I use the second method from the else branch, no data is sent.
var client = MIDIClientRef()
var port = MIDIPortRef()
var dest = MIDIEndpointRef()
MIDIClientCreate("jveditor" as CFString, nil, nil, &client)
MIDIOutputPortCreate(client, "output" as CFString, &port)
if false {
dest = MIDIGetDestination(1)
} else {
var device = MIDIGetExternalDevice(0)
var entity = MIDIDeviceGetEntity(device, 0)
dest = MIDIEntityGetDestination(entity, 0)
}
var name: Unmanaged<CFString>?
MIDIObjectGetStringProperty(dest, kMIDIPropertyDisplayName, &name)
print(name?.takeUnretainedValue() as! String)
var gmOn : [UInt8] = [ 0xf0, 0x7e, 0x7f, 0x09, 0x01, 0xf7 ]
var pktlist = MIDIPacketList()
var current = MIDIPacketListInit(&pktlist)
current = MIDIPacketListAdd(&pktlist, MemoryLayout<MIDIPacketList>.stride, current, 0, gmOn.count, &gmOn)
MIDISend(port, dest, &pktlist)
In both cases the printed device name is correct, and the status of every call is noErr.
I have noticed that if I ask for the kMIDIManufacturerName property that I get different results - specifically using the first method I get Generic, from the USB MIDI interface to which the MIDI device is connected, and with the second method I get the value of Roland configured via the Audio MIDI Setup app.
The reason I want to use the second method is specifically so that I can filter out devices that don't have the desired manufacturer name, but as above I can't then get working output.
Can anyone explain the difference between these two methods, and why the latter doesn't work, and ideally offer a suggestion as to how I can work around that?
It sounds like you want to find only the MIDI destination endpoints to talk to a certain manufacturer's devices. Unfortunately that isn't really possible, since there is no protocol for discovering what MIDI devices exist, what their attributes are, and how they are connected to the computer.
(Remember that MIDI is primitive 1980s technology. It doesn't even require bidirectional communication. There are perfectly valid MIDI setups with MIDI devices that you can send data to, but can never receive data from, and vice versa.)
The computer knows what MIDI interfaces are connected to it (for instance, a USB-MIDI interface). CoreMIDI calls these "Devices". You can find out how many there are, how many ports each has, etc. But there is no way to find out anything about the physical MIDI devices like keyboards and synthesizers that are connected to them.
"External devices" are an attempt to get around the discovery problem. They are the things that appear in Audio MIDI Setup when you press the "Add Device" button. That's all!
Ideally your users would create an external device for each physical MIDI device in their setup, enter all the attributes of each one, and set up all the connections in a way that perfectly mirrors their physical MIDI cables.
Unfortunately, in reality:
There may not be any external devices. There is not much benefit to creating them in Audio MIDI Setup, and it's a lot of boring data entry, so most people don't bother.
If there are external devices, you can't trust any of the information that the users added. The manufacturer might not be right, or might be spelled wrong, for instance.
It's pretty unfriendly to force your users to set things up in Audio MIDI Setup before they can use your software. Therefore, no apps do that... and therefore nobody sets anything up in Audio MIDI Setup. It's a chicken-and-egg problem.
Even if there are external devices, your users might want to send MIDI to other endpoints (like virtual endpoints created by other apps) that are not apparently connected to external devices. You should let them do what they want.
The documentation for MIDIGetDevice() makes a good suggestion:
If a client iterates through the devices and entities in the system, it will not ever visit any virtual sources and destinations created by other clients. Also, a device iteration will return devices which are "offline" (were present in the past but are not currently present), while iterations through the system's sources and destinations will not include the endpoints of offline devices.
Thus clients should usually use MIDIGetNumberOfSources, MIDIGetSource, MIDIGetNumberOfDestinations and MIDIGetDestination, rather iterating through devices and entities to locate endpoints.
In other words: use MIDIGetNumberOfDestinations and MIDIGetDestination to get the possible destinations, then let your users pick one of them. That's all.
If you really want to do more:
Given a destination endpoint, you can use MIDIEndpointGetEntity and MIDIEndpointGetDevice to get to the MIDI interface.
Given any MIDI object, you can find its connections to other objects. Use MIDIObjectGetDataProperty to get the value of property kMIDIPropertyConnectionUniqueID, which is an array of the unique IDs of connected objects. Then use MIDIObjectFindByUniqueID to get to the object. The outObjectType will tell you what kind of object it is.
But that's pretty awkward, and you're not guaranteed to find any useful information.
Based on a hint from Kurt Revis's answer, I've found the solution.
The destination that I needed to find is associated with the source of the external device, with the connection between them found using the kMIDIPropertyConnectionUniqueID property of that source.
Replacing the code in the if / else branch in the question with the code below works:
var external = MIDIGetExternalDevice(0)
var entity = MIDIDeviceGetEntity(external, 0)
var src = MIDIEntityGetSource(entity, 0)
var connID : Int32 = 0
var dest = MIDIObjectRef()
var type = MIDIObjectType.other
MIDIObjectGetIntegerProperty(src, kMIDIPropertyConnectionUniqueID, &connID)
MIDIObjectFindByUniqueID(connID, &dest, &type)
A property dump suggests that the connection Unique ID property is really a data property (perhaps containing multiple IDs) but the resulting CFData appears to be in big-endian format so reading it as an integer property instead seems to work fine.

Add Heart rate measurement service to iPhone as peripheral

I'm using Apple BLTE Transfer to emulate the iPhone as a peripheral.
My goal is to simulate a heart rate monitor that uses the heart rate measurement profile.
(I know how to generate the data but needs to define the service on the peripheral side)
I've already have a code on the other side to collect data from BLE heart rate monitors.
I need some guidance how to define the Heart rate service and it's characteristics (ON the peripheral side).
I've also seen the use of specific service UUID (180D) and some characteristics UUID's (such as 2A37 for Heart rate measurement, 2A29 for manufacturer name etc.) Where do I get those numbers? and where they are defined?
If any other information need please advise.
The heart rate service is detailed on the bluetooth developer portal.
Say you have a CBPeripheralManager named peripheralManager initialized and you already received the peripheralManagerDidUpdateState: callback with the CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOn state. Here is how you can set up the service itself after this.
// Define the heart rate service
CBMutableService *heartRateService = [[CBMutableService alloc]
initWithType:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:#"180D"] primary:true];
// Define the sensor location characteristic
char sensorLocation = 5;
CBMutableCharacteristic *heartRateSensorLocationCharacteristic = [[CBMutableCharacteristic alloc]
initWithType:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:#"0x2A38"]
properties:CBCharacteristicPropertyRead
value:[NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:&sensorLocation length:1]
permissions:CBAttributePermissionsReadable];
// Define the heart rate reading characteristic
char heartRateData[2]; heartRateData[0] = 0; heartRateData[1] = 60;
CBMutableCharacteristic *heartRateSensorHeartRateCharacteristic = [[CBMutableCharacteristic alloc]
initWithType:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:#"2A37"]
properties: CBCharacteristicPropertyNotify
value:[NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:&heartRateData length:2]
permissions:CBAttributePermissionsReadable];
// Add the characteristics to the service
heartRateService.characteristics =
#[heartRateSensorLocationCharacteristic, heartRateSensorHeartRateCharacteristic];
// Add the service to the peripheral manager
[peripheralManager addService:heartRateService];
After this you should receive the peripheralManager:didAddService:error: callback indicating the successful addition. You should add the device information service (0x180A) similarly Finally, you should start advertising with:
NSDictionary *data = #{
CBAdvertisementDataLocalNameKey:#"iDeviceName",
CBAdvertisementDataServiceUUIDsKey:#[[CBUUID UUIDWithString:#"180D"]]};
[peripheralManager startAdvertising:data];
Note: The heart rate service was the first I implemented too. Good choice. ;)
Everything regarding Gatt Specifications can be found on the Bluetooth Developer Site. What you need to do is basically this:
1.)Set up your CBPeripheralManager
2.)After it is powered on, create the CBMutableService and CBMutableCharacteristics that match the Heart rate service. Advertise them and you'll be good to go.
