Hi PB,

Yes, there is a mention of adv extension in S140 V5.0.0-3.alpha, but it's not supported yet. Quote from release notes:

A new configuration option, BLE_GAP_CFG_ADV, has been added to the sd_ble_cfg_set(). This option can be used to configure advertising sets. Currently this option is not used as this alpha release only supports one advertising set with 31 bytes of advertising or scan response data.

Adv extensions will also be supported by a version of S132, in a release coming later this year.

There's a mention of adv extensions in S140 V5.0.0-3.alpha. @Sigurd do you know if it's coming also to S132 or are there HW limitations? Would love to have some visibility on this.

S132 V5.0.0-3.alpha is out and I don't see this in Release Notes. Do you?

Hello. Am i wrong assuming that SD 5.0.0-3.aplha introduces this feature?

That is correct. Advertising extensions will be supported later this year.

I'm afraid this is not supported by Nordic stacks (Soft Devices) yet, or is it?
