872460 - [Bluetooth]Support Bluetooth Low Engery GATT API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Bluetooth, defect)

Description

[Shawn Huang [:shawnjohnjr][:shuang] (as a happy gecko contributor)]

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was introduced in the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.0.
BLE consists of several protocols. The Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) is built on top of the Attribute Protocol (ATT) and also referenced as GATT/ATT. Modern bluetooth stack supports GATT profile. We shall expose GATT level API for applications.

Google's "Physical Web" project is an example of something built on top of BLE: http://google.github.io/physical-web/

Michal,

GATT API contains client and server API. Client API is already on m-c and we are implementing server API [1]. Note client API allows to access peripheral sensor data (e.g., read heart rate from sensor), while server API lets app creates data for clients to read/write/be informed (e.g., notify smartwatch when a new message incomes).
