hi, I want to use BLUETOOTH for Position Service, Did nrf52840 or nrf52832 support new feature in BLUETOOTH5? like (1)LE Extend ADV?(2)LE Periodic Advertising Create sync? (3)LE Coded PHY support 1M/2M ,coded?(4)Aod??

Could you tell me the path of example in sdk if nrf52840 or nrf52832 support?? thanks very much!!

To my understanding, at least some extended advertising payload data units have been around for testing purposes with nRF52840 from S140 5.0.0-3.alpha, released in March 2017. It seems that you didn't include the feature into SoftDevice S132 v5.0, though. No headers of the public S132 alpha seem to support ADV_EXT_IND, AUX_ADV_IND or AUX_SYNC_IND with nRF52832, either.

Are advertisement extensions available for nRF52832, in any form?

S140 5.0.0-3.alpha included a feature to initiate connections over coded PHY (long range mode). According to the BT 5.0 specs, it is not allowed to initiate connections on this PHY using the legacy advertising PDUs (see Table 2.3 in Bluetooth Core v5.0, Vol 6, Part B, Section 2.3 for more details). The part of extended advertising PDUs needed for initiating the connections were therefore implemented in this softdevice version.

The S132 v5.0.0 is a pre-qualified, production grade softdevice, and no experimental or incomplete implementations are included. The implementation in S140 softdevice is not a complete implementation of advertising extentions, and does not include support for increased payloaed. It is therefore not included in the S132 softdevice. We are working on implementing this feature for all nRF52 series softdevices.
