 Can Timeslot be used during the advertising phase? Specifically, during the BLE advertising phase, can I use the radio for some private tasks?

&lt;p&gt;Yes, that is possible.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Suppose I&amp;#39;m a standard BLE keyboard with a connection interval of 7.5ms. Within one connection interval, approximately how much idle time (Timeslot) can I request to perform private tasks? Is this duration stable? Is the length of granted time consistent each time a request is made?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;There should be a few ms left for the timeslot. But&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;it&amp;#39;s variable and not guaranteed to be consistent, as &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/sds_s140/page/SDS/s1xx/multilink_scheduling/timeslot_api_timing.html"&gt;Radio Timeslot API timing-activity is scheduled independently of any other timing activity, hence it can collide with any other timing-activity in the SoftDevice.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Do the nRF54 series and nRF Connect SDK support the Timeslot functionality and its related APIs?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes. A timeslot sample can be found here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
