Advertising on specific channel with BLE5

Hi,

With S132 it is possible to advertise on specific channel. See devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

But, since from BLE5 advertisement can be done on any of the 40 channels, why the Channel mask (m_adv_params.channel_mask) is not available for the 37 other channels? will it be available soon?

Thx

Regards Michel

  • This entire feature (extended adv. data according to BT5) is not supported by Nordic stacks yet so let's wait for the release. Btw. as I understand the feature it doesn't mean you can randomly advertise on any channel now, it's more like you sending short ADV message on one of adv. channels 37/38/39 and there you indicate on which of remaining data channel it will continue with longer payload. So old devices get at least the short message as of today.
