DA14531 Name Change Service/Characteristic

I was curious if there's a characteristic to change the GAP device name.

I know there's one to see the name, but I didn't see one to change the name. Is this one I'd have to manually create or is there a simple way to do so?

Thanks!

EDIT:

For those reading this in the future, I verified 3 answers for this. 1 is for a service and characteristic. The other 2 are for AT commands to accomplish the same task, 1 with persistent data and the other without.

  • Hi There,

    Thank you for posting your question online.
    Yes, it is possible to change the Device Name. 
    I worked on the ble_app_peripheral example with SDK v6.0.18.
    I created a custom characteristic for the Custom Service 1.
    On user_custs1_impl.c file:

    void user_svc1_dev_name_wr_ind_handler (ke_msg_id_t const msgid,
                                          struct custs1_val_write_ind const *param,
                                          ke_task_id_t const dest_id,
                                          ke_task_id_t const src_id)
    {
    
    	char new_device_name[NEW_DEVICE_NAME_LENGTH] = "\0";
    
    	memcpy(&new_device_name, &param->value, param->length);
    
    	device_info.dev_name.length = (strlen(new_device_name) <= GAP_MAX_NAME_SIZE) ?strlen(new_device_name) : GAP_MAX_NAME_SIZE;
    
    	memcpy(device_info.dev_name.name, new_device_name, device_info.dev_name.length);
    
    	
    }

    On user_peripheral.c file:
    void user_catch_rest_hndl(ke_msg_id_t const msgid,
                              void const *param,
                              ke_task_id_t const dest_id,
                              ke_task_id_t const src_id)
    {
        switch(msgid)
        {
            case CUSTS1_VAL_WRITE_IND:
            {
                struct custs1_val_write_ind const *msg_param = (struct custs1_val_write_ind const *)(param);
    
                switch (msg_param->handle)
                {
                    case SVC1_IDX_CONTROL_POINT_VAL:
                        user_svc1_ctrl_wr_ind_handler(msgid, msg_param, dest_id, src_id);
                        break;
    								
                    case SVC1_IDX_DEV_NAME_VAL:
                        user_svc1_dev_name_wr_ind_handler(msgid, msg_param, dest_id, src_id);
                        break;
                        .
                        .
                        .

    With the SmartBond App I connect into my device and I can change the Device name like this:

  • Quick follow up to this actually: what compiler is required for these changes?

  • This is interesting, I see two names only: CLv2 and CodeLess, never a CLv2-CodeLess. This is on 14531 v_6.380.14.22 by the way. I'll have to investigate why that is. I wanted to figure out a way to rename both.

  • Hi There,

    Thank you for the response.
    In Codeless SDK v6.380.14.22 we had set the USER_DEVICE_NAME as CodeLess and we have not inserted the Short Name into the Advertising Data. 
    Where did you see the CLv2 name on this CodeLess version?
    Are you facing any issues with the AT+DEVNAME command on CodeLess SDK v6.380.16.55?

    Kind Regards,
    OV_Renesas

  • The library I'm using to communicate with the device has two values: name (defined as "Device name if present") and localName (defined as "User friendly name of device"). 

    name returns CLv2 and localName returns CodeLess. Ideally I was hoping to rename both.

    I admittedly haven't yet tried implementing AT+DEVNAME, I'll soon try. I just wanted to ask ahead of time to try to further my knowledge of this. 

  • Just a follow up to this since I've had time to work on it:

    For the name: You're right! v6.380.14 had CodeLess and v6.360.16 had CLv2-CodeLess.

    CLv2 shows up as the short name (I'm assuming localName is the short name for my library) on v6.380.16, which fits in perfectly with what you said earlier. Still interesting to me then that CLv2 shows up as the long name and CodeLess the short name on v6.380.14.

    For the AT+DEVNAME custom command: It works! But it's not persistent when it restarts. Do you know if that's possible without having something else read/store/write the name with the command on every reboot?

  • Hi There,

    Thank you for the reply.

    For the AT+DEVNAME custom command: It works! But it's not persistent when it restarts. Do you know if that's possible without having something else read/store/write the name with the command on every reboot?

    If you want the device name to be kept even after a Reset or Power off/on then you should save the device name on the SPI Flash and on the user_app_on_init read the specific address you have stored your name and see which name should be used in your project.

  • Am I correct in assuming writing to SPI Flash couldn't be done through an AT command?

    If I'm able, it seems like combining the second half of this tutorial with such an AT command could accomplish what I'm looking for.

    Edit:
    Another question, am I correct in assuming I cannot compile changes to the last file you added because it requires a paid edition of Keil-MDK? I'm unable to find the directory codeless > codeless_5xx > Keil_5 in the target_apps directory of the SDK so I've been unable to try to rebuild this on my own.

  • Hi There,

    Thanks for the reply and apologies for the delay.

    If I'm able, it seems like combining the second half of this tutorial with such an AT command could accomplish what I'm looking for.

    In order to save the new Device Name into the SPI Flash you should work with this tutorial: 
    5. DA14531 SPI Flash — DA145XX Tutorial SDK peripherals (renesas.com)

    Another question, am I correct in assuming I cannot compile changes to the last file you added because it requires a paid edition of Keil-MDK?

    Yes, due to the ARM Compiler v6 and the size of CodeLess SDK you will not be able to compile this project without a license.

    Please find the attached codeless_5xx_devname_v2.zip file.
    Each time we use the AT+DEVNAME command to change the device name, we store the Device Name into the SPI Flash on the address 0x1FFC0 (64 bytes before the end of the SPI Flash 0x20000).
    I worked with DA14531MOD, so my initializations are for the P25Q11U Flash which is integrated in the DA14531MOD.

    On my side it works as expected:

    Please test it in your side and share any feedback.

  • Sorry for the delay. I tested this and it works just as you described. Brilliant work. I need to spend some more time later to fully read the code vs your guide to appreciate it. Thanks for your time and effort on this, I've really learned a lot during this whole process. 

    One last question though related to compiling: am I correct in reading that SDK 5 is still accessible and can be worked on and compiled for free? 

  • Hi There,

    Thank you for the reply and the feedback.

    One last question though related to compiling: am I correct in reading that SDK 5 is still accessible and can be worked on and compiled for free? 

    That is not correct. The SDK5 is not available and it did not support DA14531. It supported DA14580/1/2/3/5/6,

    P.S.
    If you found any answer helpful, you can verify it so you can help others in the community with the same issue.

  • Drat! So is there no way for me to try my own solutions without the paid version of Keil? Reading the documentation I thought the solution was SDK5.

    Also, I've verified the 3 answers that covered changing the advertising name.

  • Hi There,

    Thank you for the reply.

    You could use the Keil IDE Professional License which has a Trial period. However, if you want to develop a project and go on production, you should have the Keil IDE Licensed. 
    If you have any other issue, feel free to raise a new ticket.
