Any chance that Multiple Addresses per Device are supported?

[Marius Heil]

Hi,

would it be possible to have multiple GAP Addresses for one nRF device? I was able to have this with the S130/S132 using verison 2.0.1 by using gap_address_set and restarting advertising. By looking at the connected event, I could read back the "own_addr" and could tell which address another device was connecting to. But this is all gone now :-( Any workarounds or suggestions? Will this ever be available?

I know we are able to do LE Privacy which allows the peripheral to advertise using a random private address. This random private address changes periodically. Maybe you can follow a a similar approach.

I don't think that works with privacy, as I cannot control the address that is being generated. I could set it using the traditional way, but I would have to stop scanning and advertising first. But then I have the Problem, that I cannot be sure on which address a device was connecting. Because there could have been events in the event queue that I didn't process yet.

Hi,

From S132 v.3.x the function sd_ble_gap_address_set() was renamed to sd_ble_gap_addr_set()

Yes, I know, but the problem is that I cannot determine the address that was used when I was advertising. If I change the advertising address often, together with the advertising data, I need to know through which address a connection request was made. This was usually delivered with own_addr in the connection event. This has been removed, so I cannot get this to work reliably.
