CRC bytes in advertising data

[dblasco]

Hello,

I am implementing a central which is scanning for advertising packets using s130, SDK11, nRF51822 and based on example ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay.

I get the advertising packets in function

static void on_ble_central_evt(const ble_evt_t * const p_ble_evt)

in the event BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT.

I can read from

const ble_gap_evt_t   * const p_gap_evt = &p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt;

all the manufacturer data in

p_gap_evt->params.adv_report.data

However, I would like also to get the 3 bytes CRC that are included at the end of this data, but I cannot find the way to access to them.

How could I get these CRC bytes?

Thank you

You can't get them - they are there as a checksum on the packet and stripped off before the data is passed to your application.

Why do you want them?

well you can always recalculate the CRC, or just use any hashing function you like to make a hash of the advertising data.
