Hi Sigurd,

I's been a year since you were promising the avd packet length extension 'coming soon'. Now we have SoftDevice release v 6.0.0 but packet extension is still nowhere. Therefore I would like to ask: Will it be ever released or will you just keep promising? Our project is reliant on this. Can you please give us some specific dates? Will it be released let say by the end of September this year?

Thank you

As SD132 v6.0.0 and SDK 15 available for us, can you guide me how to access these 255 bytes.

What API should I use or what structure should I change to accommodate 255 bytes in advertising data?

And can nRF connect app detect these 255 bytes data?

edit : It is still not available. Have to wait for v6.1.

Hi stepik and Meriba,

SoftDevice v5.1.0 does not support advertising data length extension. We will add support for this in the upcoming SoftDevice v.6 release, together with the release of SDK 15. It will be released in the very near future.

For more detailed information regarding release schedules and roadmaps, please contact your local Nordic Regional Sales Manager(RSM). If you do not have any contact information, then let me know where you're based in a PM and I will provide you with the local RSMs contact info.

Hi,

S132 V5.0.0 does not support Advertising extensions. It supports one advertising set with 31 bytes of advertising or scan response data. As mentioned in the other post, Advertising extensions will be supported by a version of S132(and S140), in a release coming later this year.
