Subject: GATT Attribute Server changes coming.


Due to some observations at UPF, I have made some on the fly
modifications to the attribute-server.c and example.c files. The
changes appear to work, but I am cleaning up the changes and will submit
them as potential patches probably early next week.

Specifically, they pertain to how Primary Services are discovered by
BR/EDR GATT Clients. The relevant spec section is 4.4 of Part G (GATT),
Volume 3, Core Revision 4.0. It states that Primary Services SHALL be
discovered on BR/EDR links via SDP.

So I have staged the following changes in my personal workspace:

1. Modified the ATT_UUID to be 0x0007 instead of 0x1801, which is the
GATT UUID. The ATT Protocol UUID is now publiched in BT Assigned Numbers.

2. I have added a new "end" parameter to attrib_db_add() to indicate the
end of a Attribute Handle Range (which may be Zero if not appropriate)
which when combined with a Primary Service Attribute, will register a
correctly formatted SDP service Record for BR/EDR purposes. I will
probably also add yet one more Parameter that will be a string value
description for the SDP record.

3. I have tested against two other teams so far to shake out the bugs,
and it looks promising. There is one team that depends on these SDP
records, and I will be testing against them again tomorrow.
