# BLE Peripheral with ICMP Echo-Reply
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
This example aims to run `ping` network utility along with BLE GATT server simultaneously using NimBLE host stack. It is a combination of 2 examples in IDF: `bluetooth/nimble/bleprph` and `protocols/icmp_echo`. See the README.md files of these examples to know more about them.
|
|
|
|
### BLE peripheral
|
|
|
|
This example creates GATT server and then starts advertising, waiting to be connected to a GATT client.
|
|
|
|
It uses ESP32's Bluetooth controller and NimBLE stack based BLE host.
|
|
|
|
### ICMP Echo-Reply
|
|
|
|
Ping is a useful network utility used to test if a remote host is reachable on the IP network. It measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the source host to a destination target that are echoed back to the source.
|
|
|
|
Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waiting for an ICMP echo reply.
|
|
|
|
**Notes:** Currently this example only supports IPv4.
|
|
|
|
## How to Use Example
|
|
|
|
Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
idf.py set-target <chip_name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configure the project
|
|
|
|
Open the project configuration menu:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
idf.py menuconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the `Example Configuration` menu:
|
|
|
|
* Enter SSID and password of known Wi-Fi AP with connectivity to internet.
|
|
* Enter desired ping IP Address. Default is set to `93.184.216.34` ( This is the IP address of https://example.com ).
|
|
|
|
* Enter other related parameters like count of ping and maximum numbers of retry.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
To test this demo, any BLE scanner app and a WiFi access point with internet connectivity can be used.
|
|
|
|
### 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](https://idf.espressif.com/) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
