GAP Device Name vs Advertised Complete Local Name

WestCoastDaz

What is the difference between the GAP Device Name and the Complete Local Name in an advertising or scan response packet? Can the two be different?

We have a requirement where are product needs to us it's serial number as the name but we also want the user to be able to create a unique name for each device. Is this possible?

Cheers, Darren

    From CSS v7:

    The Local Name data type shall be the same as, or a shortened version of, the local name assigned to the device. The Local Name data type value indicates if the name is complete or shortened. If the name is shortened, the complete name can be read using the remote name request procedure over BR/EDR or by reading the device name characteristic after the connection has been established using GATT.

    So the local name shall be the same as the name in the device name characteristic.
