Hi h.k,

If such a major change happens, we would definitely make it as clear as possible 🙂

If you don't have any other questions on this topic, please feel free to close this case at your convenience.

Hieu, thanks for your answer.

I'm still a beginner with ncs, so I'll choose to develop on ncs.

If CAF becomes the standard for nRF development in the future, I hope you'll let us know it on your website.

Hi h.k,

It is very hard to give one answer regarding whether CAF should be used or not.

CAF is built upon NCS, so you have to understand it in addition to understanding NCS, so you will have to learn it.

On the other hand, it gives you the framework to create an event-based application. If that is what you need anyway, then that is a certain benefit.

I would say, if you feel like you need an event-based application, then give it a try, and see if you like it.

There are a few CAF samples here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-2.6.1/page/nrf/samples/other.html

You can also look into the nRF Desktop application, which is built on CAF. The application is pretty complex, so it isn't the easiest way to get start with CAF.

[quote user=""]If the traditional method for BLE advertising is to use bt_le_adv_start, does CAF have a different library function?[/quote]

Yes. You can find out more about the available CAF modules here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-2.6.1/page/nrf/libraries/caf/index.html
