Is it possible to set the nRF51822 to only advertise the device_name?

I wish to set the nRF51822 to only advertise the Device_Name that I have set.

  • Yes and No. If you are using Nordic BLE stack (S110/120/130 or variants with ANT included) then you can set GAP Peripheral/Broadcaster but that must be compliant with BT SIG 4.0/4.1 specifications so beside Device Name AD object (LTV structure) Adv. data must always contain Flags AD object. If this is what you want then it's very straight forward (if you are still lost then say more about what SD and SDK version you use, what FW project example you use as baseline etc.) If you want to get out of BT spec and avoid Flags AD element then you need to either develop your own stack or modify some open source variant (see Zephyr or Mynewt projects).
