Hi Kristin,

thanks a lot! The second suggestion was what I was looking for. I had to adapt the corresponding armgcc Makefile (adding components\ble\ble_radio_notification\ble_radio_notification.{c|h} files) and added a missing #include "nrf_nvic.h" to ble_radio_notification.h and it worked just fine.

Best,

There are two different approaches that can be used update the advertising data for each advertising packet:

1) Update based on the advertising interval: For a given advertising interval, advertising packets will be transmitted at that interval+- a random a short random time. Since the advertising interval is known, it should work to use app_timer to update the advertising data each advertising interval.

2) Use radio notifications to indicate when the radio is being turned on and off. It has been discussed here.
