Supported Targets	ESP32-C2	ESP32-C3	ESP32-S3

BLE Peripheral PHY Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example performs below functionalities:

• Establishes a connection on LE 1M PHY and switch to LE 2M PHY once connection is established. Then perform GATT read operation against the specified peer. Disconnect the link once this is completed.

• Change the default LE PHY to 2M/Coded and establish a connection on that PHY. Then perform GATT read operation against the specified peer. Disconnect the link once this is completed.

This example aims at understanding how to establish connections on preferred PHY and changing LE PHY once the connection is established.

To test this demo, use any BLE GATT server app that advertises support for the LE PHY service (0xABF2) and includes it in the GATT database. Also make sure device supports extended advertising.

Note :

• Make sure to run python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt -r $IDF_PATH/tools/ble/requirements.txt to install the dependency packages needed.
• Currently this Python utility is only supported on Linux (BLE communication is via BLuez + DBus).

How to Use Example

Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using:

idf.py set-target <chip_name>

Hardware Required

• A development board with ESP32-C3 SoC (e.g., ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
• A USB cable for Power supply and programming

See Development Boards for more information about it.

Configure the Project

Open the project configuration menu:

idf.py menuconfig

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
