Updating Advertising Data in SDK15

[Comodo]

Greetings everyone,

i am trying to migrate from SDK 14.2 to SDK 15 but I got this problem with updating "advertising" and "scan response data". I have read other threads/post but couldn't find a reliable solution. It would be nice if Nordic can provide a working example with that feature.

Regards

Hi!

Did you take a look at the ble_app_uart example and how it is done there?

I believe that example adds a 128-bit UUID to the scan response data. 

Best regards,
Joakim

I think uart example doesn't implement any data update regarding advertising/scan-response data.

ComodoI asked already two times about this and I'm still without any right answer...

I think that some problems are already known regarding SDK15 and I hope they will fix it . Maybe they will release 15.1 soon. Currently we are stucked with the porting 14.2->15. According to release doc-we should use SDK 15 with the latest uC version which is used in our final test board.

I think I may have misunderstood.
Are you having trouble adding data to the advertising and scan response packets? Or do you want to update the data that you already added?

Cheers

Adding "advertising data" and "scan response data" was possible by using "ble_advdata_encode" and directly "sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure" but I wasn't able to update the data.

Now I use "ble_advertising_init" and "ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set" to initialize and I can just update "advertising data" by using "ble_advdata_encode" and "sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure". So I had to skip "scan response data". I couldn't find any solutions to initialize them both and update them later. It crushed everytime.

Again a simple example would be helpful.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'll look into it, and hopefully I can make a simple example for you.

Best regards.

Hi again!

Maybe you could take a look at this thread:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/33606/updating-advertising-data-manuf-spec-data-in-sdk15 
and more specifically the example code that my colleague Martin posted.

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers,
Joakim

I have the same problem and I tested the code from your colleague and I think it it doesn't work but with uncertainty. Could anyone test it ?

[Joakim Jakobsen]

That is unfortunate.

I'll try the code myself, and see if it works for me.

Joakim Jakobsen Do you have tested the code ? Or do you have another solution ? I still without solution at the moment.
