Setting Custom Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) Data in Non-Connectable Advertising using nRF Connect SDK v2.4.2 on nRF52832 DK

Question

Hi!

I'm currently working with the nRF52832 DK and using the nRF Connect SDK v2.4.2. My goal is to send custom data in non-connectable advertising mode, and I specifically want to set my own Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) data. I would like to include variables or a custom device name in this EIR data. Can someone provide guidance on how to achieve this using the nRF Connect SDK v2.4.2?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

 I don't understand this question. 
 Like I said before, EIR is a Bluetooth Classic concept. It is not available on the nRF52 series SoCs, at least for now. 
 In a BLE Advertising, there can be multiple data fields in both the main Advertising packet, and in the Scan Response packet. However, almost all of them have specifications that they must comply with, restricting the kind of data you can put in. The data type that provides the most customizability is Manufacturer Specific Data. 
 Please go over the resources that I have provided. This kind of back and forth terribly inefficient.
