5.5.4 GATT Server Abstraction

As a GATT server, most of the GATT functionality is handled by the individual GATT profiles. These profiles use of the GattServApp, a configurable module which stores and manages the attribute table. Figure 5-11 shows the abstraction hierarchy:

figure_18_swru271.gifFigure 5-11 GATT Server Abstraction

The design process is as follows:

  1. Create GATT profiles that configure the GATTServApp module.
  2. Use API of the module to interface with the GATT layer.

With a GATT server, direct calls to GATT layer functions are unnecessary. The application interfaces with the profiles.
