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 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 copy 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 Display for Address

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Format for Address

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

Writes the defmt representation of self to fmt.

impl PartialEq for Address

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

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

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