If you do not have a network from a previous configuration To start using the host provisioner, select either Provision or Networks and Devices on the left menu, and click Initialize for Provision. For details see AN1259: Using the Silicon Labs Bluetooth® Stack v3.x and Higher in Network Co-Processor Mode This section provides a summary of host provisioning. To use the Bluetooth Mesh features, create, build, and flash the device with an NCP example supporting Mesh features. You can issue Bluetooth mesh commands manually in the Smart Console, or use the interactive host provisioner feature to provision and configure mesh nodes and manage mesh networks, instead of using a Bluetooth mesh mobile application. NCP Commander supports Bluetooth mesh features. You can also read out the local GATT database from the device. Here you can add services and characteristics. To generate a basic GATT database, open the Local GATT view, and click Create Basic GATT. NCP commander supports creating a GATT database. If you connect to a WSTK or with another central device (for example with your phone), you can see the events and commands on the log. When advertising, the NCP target example accepts Bluetooth connections. Select the desired advertising mode, create custom advertising packets if desired, and click Start. To start advertising, click '+' next to 'Advertise – Peripheral' to create an advertiser set. Click Export to save the commands sent through the console to a file that can be imported back as a script. You can use any BGAPI commands in the script, but it has no additional features, such as branching or error handling. Create or import an existing script using the controls in the top right corner.

NCP Commander provides a simple scripting feature. The Smart Console provides auto completion and documentation for the possible commands. For example, you can issue the 'system hello' command at any time to verify that communication between the host and the device is working. Check the log for the NCP target response and status messages. It will show 'Disconnected' if not connected to any device. You can change target devices without leaving Bluetooth NCP Commander by clicking that area. Note that the connected device is shown in the lower right. Once the UART connection to the mainboard is established, an Interactive view opens, which you can use to issue BGAPI commands. In the Connection Manager dialog, select the target device and click CONNECT. In the Project Configurator COMPATIBLE TOOLS tab, click Launch on the Bluetooth NCP Commander card. If you are just getting started, build and flash a project based on Bluetooth - NCP. To open Bluetooth NCP Commander, make sure that the correct board is connected. The Standalone version cannot access parts over Ethernet, which the integrated SSv5 version can. Users who wish to work outside of the SSv5 environment can do so by copying the directory /developer/adapter_packs/ncp_commander. The Standalone version can access the system COM ports that are not exposed in SSv5.

The Standalone version is provided for customers who need to control an NCP device on custom hardware. Two versions of the tool are available in SSv5:įor detailed information about using NCP Commander and developing Bluetooth NCP-Host applications, see AN1259: Using the Silicon Labs v3.x Bluetooth Stack in Network Co-Processor Mode. Bluetooth NCP Commander is a Simplicity Studio® 5 (SSv5) tool for sending BGAPI commands to an NCP target application during development.
