Hi,

Which SDK variant are you using?

You can find multiple beacon/broadcast samples in nRF Connect SDK:

• Bluetooth: Beacon
• Bluetooth: Broadcaster
• Bluetooth: iBeacon

It is easy to change the content of the advertising packet in for instance the broadcaster sample.

Best regards,
Jørgen

For nRF5 SDK, see the Beacon Transmitter Sample Application. The advertising packet is filled with desired content in function advertising_init(), and you can modify this to add your own custom data. Make sure the data does not exceed BLE_GAP_ADV_SET_DATA_SIZE_MAX.

Not sure what you mean by "any updated easily accessible SDK variant"?

I mean is that any new(UPDATED) SDK variant you have ??  because I didn't found any Broadcaster example code in nRF5_SDK_17.1.0 . 

Also, can you please help me to find the nearby device using nRF52832. 

What I want is :- 

1).  I want to update my BLE so I can easily advertise my custom data in one BLE.

2)  I have one another BLE(nRF52832) , using this device I want to scan all nearby device. and want to see all scanned device's advertised data.
