BT_UUID_128_ENCODE(w32, w1, w2, w3, w48)

Encode 128 bit UUID into an array values.

Helper macro to initialize a 128-bit UUID value from the UUID format. Can be combined with BT_UUID_DECLARE_128 to declare a 128-bit UUID from the readable form of UUIDs.

Example for how to declare the UUID 6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E

BT_UUID_DECLARE_128(
      BT_UUID_128_ENCODE(0x6E400001, 0xB5A3, 0xF393, 0xE0A9, 0xE50E24DCCA9E))

Just replace the hyphen by the comma and add 0x prefixes.

Return

The comma separated values for UUID 128 initializer that may be used directly as an argument for BT_UUID_INIT_128 or BT_UUID_DECLARE_128

Parameters
  • w32: First part of the UUID (32 bits)

  • w1: Second part of the UUID (16 bits)

  • w2: Third part of the UUID (16 bits)

  • w3: Fourth part of the UUID (16 bits)

  • w48: Fifth part of the UUID (48 bits)

Enums

enum [anonymous]

Bluetooth UUID types.

Values:

BT_UUID_TYPE_128

Functions

int bt_uuid_cmp(const struct bt_uuid *u1, const struct bt_uuid *u2)

Compare Bluetooth UUIDs.

Compares 2 Bluetooth UUIDs, if the types are different both UUIDs are first converted to 128 bits format before comparing.

Return

negative value if u1 < u2, 0 if u1 == u2, else positive

Parameters
  • u1: First Bluetooth UUID to compare

  • u2: Second Bluetooth UUID to compare

bool bt_uuid_create(struct bt_uuid *uuid, const u8_t *data, u8_t data_len)

Create a bt_uuid from a little-endian data buffer.

Create a bt_uuid from a little-endian data buffer. The data_len parameter is used to determine whether the UUID is in 16, 32 or 128 bit format (length 2, 4 or 16). Note: 32 bit format is not allowed over the air.

Return

true if the data was valid and the UUID was successfully created.

Parameters
  • uuid: Pointer to the bt_uuid variable

  • data: pointer to UUID stored in little-endian data buffer

  • data_len: length of the UUID in the data buffer

void bt_uuid_to_str(const struct bt_uuid *uuid, char *str, size_t len)

Convert Bluetooth UUID to string.

Converts Bluetooth UUID to string. UUID can be in any format, 16-bit, 32-bit or 128-bit.

Return

N/A

Parameters
  • uuid: Bluetooth UUID

  • str: pointer where to put converted string

  • len: length of str

struct bt_uuid
#include <uuid.h>

This is a ‘tentative’ type and should be used as a pointer only.
