I would appreciate it if you help me with that.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/435759?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Jul 2023 13:45:15 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:321276d6-a889-4e58-817b-4bd49f119245Einarh[quote user="rao933"]The original code only do direct advertisement when the central is bonded[/quote] <p>Ok but have you tested that the original code works as expected with your setup?</p> <p>Knowing that it works in principle and that the issue is only with your implementation would make your issue much easier to approach.</p> <p>-Einar</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/435557?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:34:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f3286ab1-7173-4797-9d46-318138008414tiva4c<p>The original code only do direct advertisement when the central is bonded, else it does normal advertisement. I want to do direct advertisement by manually adding the central address which has not been bonded before.<br /><br />I only want my peripheral to connect to the central on power up, so I don&#39;t have the time to bond first, but i have the central address, that i can hard code, all the other information, i provided in my above question.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/435517?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jul 2023 13:26:24 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d0ff2fef-a65d-44a6-a38a-d179fcc56b16Einarh[quote user=""]Here is my code (I made changes in this code[/quote] <p>What exactly have you changed in this code and for what purpose?</p> <p>Does it work if you use the unmodified sample?</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Einar</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
