I wish to determine my own connection name (UUID) for the bluetooth CSR1010 or CSR1012. May someone tell me how to do this? I couldn't find no reference to this in the data sheets. Thanks.

Bluetooth LE peripherals and beacons "advertise" their presence by broadcasting packets on special frequencies.

The advertisement packet may contain a Name field, a UUID field and some other things. Name is not the same as UUID. These are all configured by the firmware calling LsStoreAdvScanData(). Additionally, the Device Name is available as a GATT Database characteristic once you are connected to a Central device (e.g. a phone). Unfortunately, many of the examples in the CSR SDK don't link these data together so it's not obvious that changing one should change the other...

Hope this helps!

Chris

You can change the advertising name by changing the name 

see CSR_uEnergy_SDK-2.5.1\apps\health_thermometer\gap_service.c 

 /* Default device name - Added two for storing AD Type and Null ('\0') */ 

uint8 g_device_name[DEVICE_NAME_MAX_LENGTH + 2] = {
AD_TYPE_LOCAL_NAME_COMPLETE, 
'C', 'S', 'R', ' ', 'T', 'h', 'e', 'r', 'm', 'o', 'm', 'e', 't', 'e', 'r', '\0'};
