Filter beacons by company identifier

[Michal]

Hello, As I read, including company identifier is mandatory in ble adv packets. I see value 0x0059 being encoded in adv packet. How can I get my ble adv packets scanner implemented on nrf52 filter base on this value? in adv_report structure there is no thing like company identifier.

EDIT: obviosly the company identifier is part of data in adv_report, my mistake. it is little endian 2nd and 3rd byte of data.

Regards

Thanks Joakim, I indeed resolved issue. I would also mention for others who may read this that ibeacon from apple has a bit different format. So company id position in adv data my change but specfication says that it should always be present in adv data.

Hi Joadkim,

I'm looking for the define "COMPANY_IDENTIFIER" but I could not find it. Do you know where it is located?

Thanks,

Hi. 

The company identifier should be part of the manufacturere specific data. 

Struct Reference - ble_advdata_manuf_data_t 

You can take a look at the ble_app_beacon example to see an example of how to add company identifier.
