Struct Address 

pub struct Address {
    pub kind: AddrKind,
    pub addr: BdAddr,
}

A BLE address. Every BLE device is identified by a unique Bluetooth Device Address, which is a 48-bit identifier similar to a MAC address. BLE addresses are categorized into two main types: Public and Random.

A Public Address is globally unique and assigned by the IEEE. It remains constant and is typically used by devices requiring a stable identifier.

A Random Address can be static or dynamic:

• Static Random Address: Remains fixed until the device restarts or resets.
• Private Random Address: Changes periodically for privacy purposes. It can be Resolvable (can be linked to the original device using an Identity Resolving Key) or Non-Resolvable (completely anonymous).

Random addresses enhance privacy by preventing device tracking.

Fields

kind: AddrKind

Address type.

addr: BdAddr

Address value.

Implementations

impl Address

pub const fn new(kind: AddrKind, addr: BdAddr) -> Self

Create a new address with the given kind and value.

pub fn random(val: [u8; 6]) -> Self

Create a new random address.

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 7]

To bytes

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Address

fn clone(&self) -> Address

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Address

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Address

fn default() -> Address

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Display for Address

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Format for Address

Available on crate feature defmt only.

fn format(&self, fmt: Formatter<'_>)

Writes the defmt representation of self to fmt.

impl From<Address> for Identity

fn from(addr: Address) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for Address

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Compare two addresses, normalizing HCI identity address types.

In HCI events the controller may report a peer’s address type as 0x02 (Public Identity) or 0x03 (Random Static Identity) when it resolved the peer’s RPA via the resolving list. These are semantically equivalent to 0x00 (Public) and 0x01 (Random) respectively, so this implementation treats them as equal when comparing.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for Address

impl Eq for Address
