Hi Hung Bui,

I understood and I just found the code you've mentioned and I'll do as you've said. I really appreciate your help and time! Thank you so much again.

Hi Tulio,
There is no sample. It's the service. You need to find it in the SDK folder in your computer it's located in

yourSDKfolder\zephyr\subsys\bluetooth\services\ias

I don't think you can mix the nRF5 SDK code with nRF Connect SDK code. They are totally different platform. You would need to rewrite. But as I mentioned, LLS service is not too complex code so you should be able to base on what we have in nRF5 SDK and write somethin gsimilar for nRF Conenct SDK. Please try to get familiar with the IAS service code first.

Hi Hung Bui and thank you for the reply!

I understand, I did try but couldn't find something similar to "\zephyr\subsys\bluetooth\services\ias" here in my nRF Connect SDK. I'm using the most recent version available in Toolchain Manager (v1.2.5), nRF Connect SDK v2.4.2 running on macOS.

Besides that, is it safe to try to mix and match the proximity sample code from nRF5 sdk with a new project created in nRF Connect SDK? I would really appreciate your opinion on that. Thanks again!

Hi Tuilo,

As far as I know the closest to the proximity profile we have in the NRF Connect SDK is the IAS (immediate alert) service including both the server and the client. You can find them in \zephyr\subsys\bluetooth\services\ias . We don't have the link loss service unfortunately.
If you need the link loss service, you may have to implement it on your own. From what I can see in the LLS service in nRF5 SDK, it's not a very complex service.
