ADV flags role ?

[ToTo]

Is it right that this flag BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_BR_EDR_NOT_SUPPORTED, prevent my device to be discovered by classic Bluetooth stacks?

Which of these flags do I need to use to let my device be discovered whatever is the stack to discover it and connect to it ?

1-BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_BR_EDR_CONTROLLER

2-BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_BR_EDR_HOST

Our devices and SoftDevices doesn't support Bluetooth Classic, only Bluetooth low energy.

I'm not sure if the SoftDevice even allows you to do this, but you will definately not be able to connect to any Bluetooth Classic device.

Why then we have that flag defined in the SDK examples ?

    /**@defgroup BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS GAP Advertisement Flags
 * @{ */
#define BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_LIMITED_DISC_MODE         (0x01)   /**< LE Limited Discoverable Mode. */
#define BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_GENERAL_DISC_MODE         (0x02)   /**< LE General Discoverable Mode. */

#define BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE   (BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_GENERAL_DISC_MODE | BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_BR_EDR_NOT_SUPPORTED)   /**< LE General Discoverable Mode, BR/EDR not supported. */
/**@} */

Maybe they should be removed, but Bluetooth Classic is not supported.

These are just header constants copying BT SIG specification, they are not saying anything about actual support of particular feature. I don't see any reason why to remove them...
