You can find the advertising data in p_adv_report.data[]

Hi Petter, Thanks for quick reply.

I have gone thru your comments and searching how to extract adv name from adv. In this section I am searching:-

case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT: { ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t const * p_adv_report = &p_gap_evt->params.adv_report; if (is_uuid_present(&m_nus_uuid, p_adv_report))

Second alternative is simplest to implement.

I'm assuming you by display mean send over uart to a terminal.

In ble_app_uart_c you should start my modifying the handling of BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT in ble_evt_handler(). Here you can see that it is checking if the UUID is present in the advertisement (is_uuid_present()) you should instead extract the advertising name from the advertisement and print it. Then you need some way to select which peer to connect to, for example by using buttons or UART. Then you call sd_ble_gap_connect() with the peer address that maps to the selected advertising name.
