Thank you tesc Terje for the help

I would like to know if you have any reference source code related to this.

Additionally, I want to inquire whether configuring the source code alone is sufficient or if I also need to configure a dongle.

Hi,

It should be possible to modify (the source code of) the nRF Connect for Desktop BLE app to add settings such that advertising is started at a regular interval. See the nRF Connect for Desktop Developer documentation for details on app development for nRF Connect for Desktop.

For changing the BLE address, you need changes on the connectivity firmware on the dongle, since there is no serialized API for doing that. Therefore, this change would be more complex as it requires changes both to the connectivity firmware, to the nRF Connect for Desktop app, and to the serialization API.

Please note that while the serialization currently uses pc-ble-driver-js and firmware based off of the connectivity sample of nRF5 SDK, those solutions are now in maintenance mode, ref. our nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement. For new functionality, such as features from newer Bluetooth specifications, you need to use other solutions. One option is to use HCI and run the Controller on an nRF device and the Host on a PC. E.g. Bluetooth: HCI UART or Bluetooth: HCI USB on the nRF device, and a Bluetooth HCI Host on the PC.
