BLE Characteristics Missing After OTA? Check GATT Cache, Service Changed and Bonds
Diagnose missing BLE characteristics after OTA without erasing the evidence: separate cache, subscription, bond and app-state failures.
Classic Bluetooth SPP, BLE GATT services and clients, notifications and reconnection. Radio roles and GATT client/server roles are separate design choices; define the application data contract explicitly.
Diagnose missing BLE characteristics after OTA without erasing the evidence: separate cache, subscription, bond and app-state failures.
Build a BLE OTA acceptance matrix around real app versions, retained bonds and permitted rollback, with business-level pass criteria.
A review-first BLE workflow covering exact wire formats, notifications, session state, reconnection and independently verified compatibility.
Size a BLE gateway against real sensor traffic and verify data freshness, queue limits, reconnection storms and Wi-Fi coexistence with a practical test matrix.
Design a BLE GATT evolution contract that preserves old app behavior across UUIDs, handles, payload changes and subscriptions.
