NimBLE

Apache NimBLE is an open-source Bluetooth 5.1 BLE stack (both Host & Controller).

This component offers the host only version of NimBLE.

How to use

To use this component the application must specify the port which needs to at minimum provide provide the Nimble Porting Layer implementation.

To use the Open IoT SDK provided port for CMSIS rtos you must add this to your application cmake file:

target_link_libraries(mynewt-nimble
    PUBLIC
        cmsis-nimble-port
)

Please refer to the README of cmsis-nimble-port for other requirements.

Nimble depends on tinycrypt. A version of tinycrypt is available as mynewt-nimble-tinycrypt but has been left out of dependencies to allow you to supply your own version of tinycrypt. If you want to use the supplied version, add this to your application cmake:

target_link_libraries(mynewt-nimble
    PRIVATE
        mynewt-nimble-tinycrypt
)

Otherwise specify there the alternate library you wish to use to supply tinycrypt.
