I want to run a BLE Profile called "Proximity Profile" or PXP on a Linux machine with bluez-5.17 installed.
PXP is, if i understand correctly, a collection of three ble services:
- Link Loss Service
- Immediate Alert Service
- Tx Power Service
What i did so far. I followed the installation instructions on this site. Installation seems to be sucessfull.
I could run hciconfig hci0 up and hcitool lescan.
So but now i want to run the PXP profile and let the BLE USB dongle act as the gatt-server.
In the folder /etc/bluetooth/ is a file called proximity.conf. There is only one Option to set called Disable="...". Since i want to enable all services i just removed every thing behind the equals-sign.
In the same folder is a file called main.conf where i changed the option to AttributeServer = true. (Not sure if this was really necessary because in the text below i written that this is only useful for testing)
In /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/ i added uuids of the services in the "profiles" file. For 00001803-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb for LinkLoss.
So i restarted the bluetooth service and expected it to work.
On the other side i have a two android apps as Proximity Reporter (gatt client). The first app is from the TI.com sample code. It scan and shoes all the gatt attributes. i use it to check whether the services are running. i also found an app called nRF Toolbox for BLE.
To make the long story short it's not working and i even have no clue how to run this PXP service. I was just trying it. Thank for helping !
