Periodic Advertisement

[Mihir Tailor]

Hello,

I am using nRF52832 based development board (PCA10040) and softdevice v6.1.0.

I want to ask that does the feature of Periodic Advertisement of Bluetooth 5 depend on the SOC nRF52832 or softdevice v6.1.0 or both?

Thanks

The SoC is just an FSK transceiver with a processor, peripherals, etc.  It knows absolutely nothing about Bluetooth. Everything Bluetooth is part of the softdevice.

Ok Thanks.

Now i got that periodic advertisement feature of Bluetooth 5 depends on the softdevice.

Does Softdevice 6.1.0 support the Periodic Advertisement feature?

Here is a blog entry on doing periodic advertisements on 52840.  Same should be true on 52832.
