Multiple interrupt during data transmition

Hello

It's not entirely clear to me what your code is doing here, but if you're sending 135 bytes with an MTU of 31 the data would have to be split into 5 packets, so perhaps it's not so strange that 5 events are triggered?

Best regards,

Hello Einar

I understand this one. Strange there is something that I send all 135 bytes in respose to this event so all data is provided completely as it declared at the add custom service . So logicaly,  soft device should split it to 5 packets and send it without generation additional events because it has all data to transnit. But in actulal case,  event handler duplicates the same 135 bytes  5 time due to unnecessary events .  From other side, logicaly, the high level application does not  must to know details of low level  for example what  size of  MTU is. it should send data and count of data that is all.

Are you sure all of the 135 bytes are actually duplicated for each event? Can you elaborate on how you came to this conclusion?

What version of the SDK are you using? Can you link me to the documentation of these event handlers?

Yes I am sure :-)  because this event handler was developed by our company and registered as observer :-)

static void measurements_service_event_handler(ble_evt_t const *p_ble_evt, void *p_context)
{
    ble_measurements_service_t *service_context = (ble_measurements_service_t *)p_context;
    switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id)
    {
        case BLE_GATTS_EVT_WRITE:
            on_write(service_context, p_ble_evt);
            break;
        case BLE_GATTS_EVT_RW_AUTHORIZE_REQUEST:
        {
            const ble_gatts_evt_rw_authorize_request_t*  req;
            
            req = &p_ble_evt->evt.gatts_evt.params.authorize_request;
            if (req->type == BLE_GATTS_AUTHORIZE_TYPE_READ)
            {
                on_read(p_ble_evt->evt.common_evt.conn_handle, service_context, req->request.read.handle);
            }
            break;
        }
        default:
            // No implementation needed.
            break;
    }
}

registration is

NRF_SDH_BLE_OBSERVER(ble_service_name_obs, BLE_LBS_BLE_OBSERVER_PRIO,
                         measurements_service_event_handler, &m_ble_measurements_service);

the BLE_GATTS_AUTHORIZE_TYPE_READ has value 0x51 mentioned above

so after receiving this message the function on_read is called . this function send 135 bytes due to this code (I was metioned this code in my first message but I repeat this one here)

ble_gatts_rw_authorize_reply_params_t auth_reply = {0};
    auth_reply.type = BLE_GATTS_AUTHORIZE_TYPE_READ;
    auth_reply.params.read.gatt_status = BLE_GATT_STATUS_SUCCESS;
    auth_reply.params.read.update = 1;

  auth_reply->params.read.p_data = get_calibraion_buff;
        auth_reply->params.read.len = 135;
        DEBUG_MSG("Size Of Spectrum = %d", auth_reply->params.read.len);

 sd_ble_gatts_rw_authorize_reply(conn_handle, auth_reply);

The sdk version is 17.0..2

So your custom event handler is called 5 times, which causes the on_read function to be called 5 times?

How many packets are actually sent? Does the on_read function cause the whole 135 bytes to be sent or does it send just one packet of 31 bytes each time it's called?

Have you considered setting the MTU and LE data length to over 135 bytes, to let you send all the data in a single packet?

First question - YES.

Second querstion - I have to put the same code third time please read my messages attentively

ble_gatts_rw_authorize_reply_params_t auth_reply = {0};
    auth_reply.type = BLE_GATTS_AUTHORIZE_TYPE_READ;
    auth_reply.params.read.gatt_status = BLE_GATT_STATUS_SUCCESS;
    auth_reply.params.read.update = 1;

  auth_reply->params.read.p_data = get_calibraion_buff;
        auth_reply->params.read.len = 135;
        DEBUG_MSG("Size Of Spectrum = %d", auth_reply->params.read.len);

        sd_ble_gatts_rw_authorize_reply(conn_handle, auth_reply);

     where get_calibraion_buff is pointer to array with size 135 byte.

  third question - the size of MTU is assigned during connection esteblishment .

The sizue of MTU accordingly  sdk _config.h

#ifndef NRF_SDH_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE
#define NRF_SDH_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE 160
#endif

But question how to increaase MTU during connection establishment it is another question and another  topic.

Current question is why soft device generate 5 time BLE_GATTS_AUTHORIZE_TYPE_READ event 

after calling sd_ble_gatts_rw_authorize_reply(conn_handle, auth_reply) with  parrameter filled by above mentioned way.

Best regards

Please, I am reading your messages attentively, but it's not obvious to me how your program will behave based on this code, which is why I'm asking you these questions. So I would appreciate if you could answer my question and not just post the same code again. Thanks.

I believe the MTU is very relevant to your question, as it seems likely to me that your data is split into 5 packets because of the MTU.

From your original post it seems the MTU is set to 31, have you changed the sdk_config.sh since your first post or is the setting not taking effect? Also it is not enough to just set the MTU, you'll also have to set the data length variable to send larger packets.
