HID Peripheral
Overview
Similar to the Peripheral sample, except that this application specifically exposes the HID GATT Service. The report map used is for a generic mouse.
In the default configuration the sample uses passkey authentication (displays a
code on the peripheral and requires that to be entered on the host during
pairing) and requires an authenticated link to access the GATT characteristics.
To disable authentication and just use encrypted channels instead, build the
sample with CONFIG_SAMPLE_BT_USE_AUTHENTICATION=n.
Requirements
BlueZ running on the host, or
A board with Bluetooth LE support
Building and Running
Build and flash the sample as follows, replacing <board> with your target board:
west build -b <board> samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hids
west flash
After flashing, the device will advertise as a HID peripheral. Pair it with a host (a passkey will be displayed on the peripheral’s console and must be entered on the host). Once paired, the device should be recognized as a generic mouse by the operating system.
