The registration process has been breaked down into several functions that register the service attribute, characteristic declaration attributes, characteristic value attributes and characteristic descriptors.
Service registration now consider all characteristics permissions: read, write and update. Permissions are also considered when updates needs to be propagated to peers.
Handling of user authorization is also a change introduced by this refactoring.
A peripheral can act as a GATT client whether it is in the peripheral role or the central role therefore it doesn't make sense to enable signing only if roles will be reversed latter.
If the the upper layer has registered a peer csrk on the pal security manager then it must remove it once the connection is closed.
This API allows the upper layer to remove the peer csrk registered earlier.
A peer may not share a valid IRK and identity address during pairing (in that case the identity address received is all zeros). When this happens, the entry must be retrieved by looking at the address used by the peer during the connection.
Paths such as the following were causing issues:
/tea/hottea/.
/tea/hottea/..
Unfortunately the existing structure for path lookup didn't make it very
easy to introduce proper handling in this case without duplicating the
entire skip logic for paths. So the lfs_dir_find function had to be
restructured a bit.
One odd side-effect of this is that now lfs_dir_find includes the
initial fetch operation. This kinda breaks the fetch -> op pattern of
the dir functions, but does come with a nice code size reduction.
IAR 7.8 does not support dynamic heap, and some test/addition of new
feature fail on this device because of less static RAM memory.
Reducing the heap memory size for the same reason.
The vector table relocation sequence depends on:
1. Whether the SoftDevice is present.
2. The Application is a bootloader or not.
If the SoftDevice is present and the application is a bootloader
the MBR must be initialized to trap SoftDevice service calls
before setting the new vector table address.
The SCB->VTOR must be set to point at the MBR as well.
If the SoftDevice is not present the SCB->VTOR can point at the
new vector table directly.
Nanostack related files moved under 'feature/nanostack'
Common libraries moved to 'features/frameworks'
Allow FEATURE_COMMON_PAL still to be defined in the build so
that we don't break any builds.
