Yes, I know it's old, Jorgen...

After we get this stable we intend to move to a more recent version

Thanks for ALL you VERY prompt help!

Please close this incident.

It should all be documented in the SDK and softdevice API reference documentation. Note that this is a very old version of our SDK. I would recommend upgrading to a newer version.

Perfect, Jorgen!

Many thanks!

BTW, are all these types listed somewhere WITH explanations of what they are? I see the comments in ble_gap.h but it's a bit cryptic...

Hi,

The advertised name can be parsed from the advertising data in the advertising report, as shown in ble_app_multilink_central example:

case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
    {
        data_t adv_data;
        data_t type_data;

        // Initialize advertisement report for parsing.
        adv_data.p_data = p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.data;
        adv_data.data_len = p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.dlen;

        err_code = adv_report_parse(BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_COMPLETE_LOCAL_NAME,
                                  &adv_data,
                                  &type_data);
        if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)
        {
            // Compare short local name in case complete name does not match.
            err_code = adv_report_parse(BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_SHORT_LOCAL_NAME,
                                      &adv_data,
                                      &type_data);
        }
    }

Best regards,
Jørgen
