In search of Bluetooth 5 example code

[R2]

Hello Nordic, I've been searching the forum and the SDK for code examples that specifically use Bluetooth 5; could you direct me to that code?
Many thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hi Rich,

So we provide the Softdevice (Bluetooth stack) for our chips, which support Bluetooth 5 (and is backward compatible).

The question is: What specific Bluetooth 5 features would you like to have an example of? (Long Range, High Throughput, Advertising extensions.. )

For example you could check out the "ATT_MTU Throughput example" to test out the different parameters which affect the throughput.

You could also check out this blog on Long Range. 

Typically you can include Bluetooth 5 features in the examples found in the SDK if there is something specific you want to utilize.

Hello Martin, thanks for your thoughtful reply.

We're very interested in seeing examples of Bluetooth 5 Advertising extensions and secondarily, Long Range communications.
The Long Range Blog specifies a minimum PCA10056 version of 0.12.0---our pre-DK chip version is 0.9.3, so I've ordered a newer nRF52840 board.

My compliments to the Nordic team on the high quality examples and documentation in the SDK; they're a pleasure to read and work with.
