nRF52840 Coded PHY for long range application

[Ming]

Hi

I have got two nRF52840-pdk for long range application design. After reading posts here I realized that the softdevice s140 can only change PHY to CODED after a connection has been established. It does not support advertising or scanning using coded PHY. I am very confused. For long range applications, how can two devices get connected if coded PHY can only be enabled after a link has been established? Thank you.

Please download the latest Softdevice, S140 v5.0.0-3.alpha. The new feature is support for establishing Bluetooth low energy connections directly on the long range PHY, the previous versions of the S140 only supported connections on the 1Mbit PHY.

Not sure exactly what changes you made to the code. But could you try to reinitalize the advertisement module after changing back from coded PHY?
