<h2 id="configure-an-address">Configure an Address</h2>
<p>A BLE device needs an address to do just about anything. For information on
the various types of Bluetooth addresses, see the
<a href="../../ble_hs/ble_hs_id/ble_hs_id/">NimBLE Host Identity Reference</a>.</p>
<p>There are several methods for assigning an address to a NimBLE device. The
available options are documented below:</p>
<h3 id="method-1-configure-nrf-hardware-with-a-public-address">Method 1: Configure nRF hardware with a public address</h3>
<p>When Mynewt is running on a Nordic nRF platform, the NimBLE controller will
attempt to read a public address out of the board's FICR or UICR registers.
The controller uses the following logic while trying to read an address from
hardware:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the <em>DEVICEADDRTYPE</em> FICR register is written, read the address
programmed in the <em>DEVICEADDR[0]</em> and <em>DEVICEADDR[1]</em> FICR registers.</li>
<li>Else if the upper 16 bits of the <em>CUSTOMER[1]</em> UICR register are 0, read the address programmed in the <em>CUSTOMER[0]</em> and <em>CUSTOMER[1]</em> UCI registers.</li>
<li>Else, no address available.</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="method-2-hardcode-a-public-address-in-the-mynewt-target">Method 2: Hardcode a public address in the Mynewt target</h3>
<p>The NimBLE controller package exports a
<a href="../../../../os/modules/sysinitconfig/sysinitconfig/">syscfg</a> setting called
<code>BLE_PUBLIC_DEV_ADDR</code>. This setting can be overridden at the application or
target level to configure a public Bluetooth address. For example, a target
can assign the public address <em>11:22:33:44:55:66</em> as follows:</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code>syscfg.vals:
BLE_PUBLIC_DEV_ADDR: &#39;(uint8_t[6]){0x66, 0x55, 0x44, 0x33, 0x22, 0x11}&#39;
</code></pre></div>
<p>This setting takes the form of a C expression. Specifically, the value is a
designated initializer expressing a six-byte array. Also note that the bytes
are reversed, as an array is inherently little-endian, while addresses are
generally expressed in big-endian.</p>
<p>Note: this method takes precedence over method 1. Whatever is written to the
<code>BLE_PUBLIC_DEV_ADDR</code> setting is the address that gets used.</p>
<h3 id="method-3-configure-a-random-address-at-runtime">Method 3: Configure a random address at runtime</h3>
<p>Random addresses get configured through the NimBLE host. The following two
functions are used in random address configuration:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../../../network/ble/ble_hs/ble_hs_id/functions/ble_hs_id_gen_rnd/">ble_hs_id_gen_rnd</a>: Generates a new random address.</li>
<li><a href="../../../network/ble/ble_hs/ble_hs_id/functions/ble_hs_id_set_rnd/">ble_hs_id_set_rnd</a>: Sets the device's random address.</li>
</ul>
<p>For an example of how this is done, see the
<a href="../../../os/tutorials/ibeacon/">BLE iBeacon tutorial</a>.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>Note:</em> A NimBLE device can be configured with multiple addresses; at most one
of each address type.</p>
