MQTT publisher can scan for BLE device ?

[denya]

I tested the example of MQTT publisher of the IOT SDK and it works, and for the next step i want my mqtt publisher scan for the router, in the example it is advertising and the router 6lowpan establish a connection with it. Is it possible to let the mqtt publisher which play the role of 6lowpan node, scan for BLE 6LoWPAN router?

Thank you

The IPSP and 6LoWPAN libraries in the IoT SDK only supports node role, and the IoT SoftDevice takes the GAP peripheral role, which means that the router must have the GAP central role, and scan for advertisments from the peripheral to connect. So it is not possible.
