# esp-nimble-cpp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NimBLE CPP library for use with ESP32 that attempts to maintain compatibility with the [nkolban cpp_uitls BLE API](https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets/tree/master/cpp_utils).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**An Arduino version of this library, including NimBLE, can be [found here.](https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library **significantly** reduces resource usage and improves performance for ESP32 BLE applications as compared
|
||
|
|
with the bluedroid based library. The goal is to maintain, as much as reasonable, compatibility with the original
|
||
|
|
library but refactored to use the NimBLE stack. In addition, this library will be more actively developed and maintained
|
||
|
|
to provide improved capabilites and stability over the original.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Testing shows a nearly 50% reduction in flash use and approx. 100kB less ram consumed vs the original!**

# What is NimBLE?
|
||
|
|
NimBLE is a completely open source Bluetooth Low Energy stack produced by [Apache](https://github.com/apache/mynewt-nimble).
|
||
|
|
It is more suited to resource constrained devices than bluedroid and has now been ported to the ESP32 by Espressif.

# Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### ESP-IDF v4.0+
|
||
|
|
Download as .zip and extract or clone into the components folder in your esp-idf project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run menuconfig, go to `Component config->Bluetooth` enable Bluetooth and in `Bluetooth host` NimBLE.
|
||
|
|
Configure settings in `NimBLE Options`.
|
||
|
|
`#include "NimBLEDevice.h"` in main.cpp.
|
||
|
|
Call `NimBLEDevice::init("");` in `app_main`.
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### ESP-IDF v3.2 & v3.3
|
||
|
|
The NimBLE component does not come with these versions of IDF (now included in 3.3.2 and above).
|
||
|
|
A backport that works in these versions has been created and is [available here](https://github.com/h2zero/esp-nimble-component).
|
||
|
|
Download or clone that repo into your project/components folder and run menuconfig.
|
||
|
|
Configure settings in `main menu -> NimBLE Options`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`#include "NimBLEDevice.h"` in main.cpp.
|
||
|
|
Call `NimBLEDevice::init("");` in `app_main`.
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Using
|
||
|
|
This library is intended to be compatible with the original ESP32 BLE functions and types with minor changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have not used the original Bluedroid library please refer to the [New user guide](docs/New_user_guide.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are familiar with the original library, see: [The migration guide](docs/Migration_guide.md) for details about breaking changes and migration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also see [Improvements_and_updates](docs/Improvements_and_updates.md) for information about non-breaking changes.
|
||
|
|

## Using with Arduino as an IDF component and CMake
|
||
|
|
When using this library along with Arduino and compiling with *CMake* you must add `add_compile_definitions(ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32=1)`
|
||
|
|
in your project/CMakeLists.txt after the line `include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/project.cmake)` to prevent Arduino from releasing BLE memory.
