Correct procedure to toggle between BLE and proprietary protocol

Went through the sample- I'll be creating a similar implementation.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

I see. There are no official samples demonstrating this, but it is possible to initialize and un-initialize the protocl stacks. While not using Gazel, there is an unofficial third party sample here which demonstrate BLE and ESB non-concurrently (the BLE stack is disabled when ESB is enabled and vise versa).

(Regarding SoftDevice, the nRF Connect SDK include the SoftDevice Controller as as the Bluetooth Link Layer, you are right on that).

Oh I'm sorry for the confusion; I thought that NRF connect SDK also uses the Softdevice, wasn't really aware since I'm new to the Nordic ecosystem.

I was looking for a NRF connect SDK example.

Hi,

As you mention the SoftDevice, I assume you are using the old NRF5 SDK? If so, you can refer to the Multiprotocol Application example that demonstrate BLE and Gazell.

PS: I would recomend that you use nRF Connect SDK for any new development, see nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement.
