Description

Hi,

Great library! I'm using bleno on a Raspberry Pi for testing purposes and using an Android phone as the central device. How would I go about setting OOB functionality on the Pi? Or must OOB data only be set on the Android phone?

Thanks!

Research direction
This issue is a user question about implementing Out of Band (OOB) pairing in a BLE peripheral using the bleno library on a Raspberry Pi. The asker wants to know how to set OOB data on the peripheral side, as opposed to the central (Android) side. To address this, one should review the Bluetooth Core Specification regarding OOB pairing and examine the bleno source code (e.g., the 'lib/' directory and examples) to see if OOB support is already present or requires new functionality. Additionally, check comments in the issue for any partial answers or references. Given the age (2015), the library may have changed; check recent commits or releases for any OOB related features.
