LE GATT service discovery Over BR/EDR

LE GATT service discovery Over BR/EDR

[Sathish Narasimman]

Hi,

I am reading core spec 4.0.
GATT Features regarding Primary Service Discovery in page: 1911

"GATT service discovery over BR/EDR transport will list services that 
only run
over an LE transport and therefore only SDP service discovery shall be used
on BR/EDR."

Though SDP Service Discovery is able to get all the related service 
information. What is the use of
GATT Service Discovery which gives only LE Information on BR/EDR Controller.

Thanks,
Sathish N

SDP record will not provide information related to characteristics and
descriptors.
For BR/EDR, GATT procedures are still required to discover, read and
write characteristics.

Below is an example of a SDP record for GATT based services:
Service Name: Generic Access Profile
Service Provider: BlueZ
Service RecHandle: 0x10001
Service Class ID List:
  "" (0x1800)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
    PSM: 31
  "ATT" (0x0007)
    uint16: 0x1
    uint16: 0x5

BR,
