Lost bonding key now I get connection disconnection

[DS.4]

Some odd behavior I experience with STM32WB peripheral.

 

Bonding list was cleared, after having been boned with a master. 

 

Now when same master connects to me, I get a connection and an immediate disconnection!

 

What may be the cause? How to prevent that behavior when clearing Bonding list on my side?

Hello @DS.4 

the behavior you're experiencing with the STM32WB peripheral where the bonding list is cleared and then the same master connects and immediately disconnects could be related to the bonding information not being properly stored or retained after certain events, such as a reset or a forced disconnection. 

To prevent the loss of bonding information and the subsequent immediate disconnection when the same master attempts to reconnect, you should:

1. Ensure that the link is terminated properly using the ACI_GAP_TERMINATE command.
2. Wait for at least 100 ms after receiving the HCI_DISCONNECTION_COMPLETE_EVENT before issuing any new commands or resets to allow the system to save the bonding information to non-volatile memory.

Bonding list is not retained on peripheral, I actually forcefully cleared it, so its empty.

It exists only on client side ( that previously  connected and bonded to that  peripheral ) .

Wondering what is the flow of events on this scenario, when that client connects again?

Client knows the peripheral, but peripheral no longer knows that client.

Hello @DS.4 

Could you please clarify more about this.
