ble_scan¶
Presentation¶
ble_scan identifies Bluetooth Low Energy devices that emit advertisements, hence allowing to identify which devices assume the role of Broadcaster or Peripheral. It extracts from those advertisments potentially useful information, like the device’s name or its BD address. There is a possiblity to limit the execution time with the TIME parameter (execution duration in seconds). If this parameter is set to an empty string (“”), the execution doesn’t automatically stop. It is also possible to target a specific device by specifying its BD address in the TARGET parameter. The information to display can be easily modified using the DISPLAY parameter: it allows to provide a list of information to display (among address, name, company, flags and data).

Output parameters¶
If no devices have been identified, no output parameters are generated. If there is only one device identified, the output parameters are listed in the following table :
Name |
Possible values |
Description |
|---|---|---|
ADVERTISING_ADDRESS |
<BD address> |
BD address of the identified device |
TARGET |
<BD address> |
BD address of the identified device |
ADVERTISING_DATA |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data (ADV_IND) |
SCANNING_DATA |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data (SCAN_RSP) |
If multiple devices have been identified, the same output parameters are generated, but are suffixed by the number of the device :
Name |
Possible values |
Description |
|---|---|---|
ADVERTISING_ADDRESS1 |
<BD address> |
BD address of the first device |
ADVERTISING_DATA1 |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data from the first device (ADV_IND) |
SCANNING_DATA1 |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data from the first device (SCAN_RSP) |
ADVERTISING_ADDRESS2 |
<BD address> |
BD address of the second device |
ADVERTISING_DATA2 |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data from the second device (ADV_IND) |
SCANNING_DATA2 |
<hexadecimal> |
Received advertising data from the second device (SCAN_RSP) |
