Hi.

I'm afraid that Periodic Advertisements is not supported in the latest version (SDK v.16 at writing time).

Any questions related to future releases or the roadmap should be directed to the Nordic RSM for your area.

Best regards,
Joakm Jakobsen

Hi, is there any update on support for Periodic Advertisements? Is it supported by the latest versions of the Softdevice and SDK?

Hi.

You are correct that the advertisement features depend on the softdevice.

Unfortunately the Softdevice s132 v6.1.0 does not support periodic advertisement, nor syncing to periodic advertisers.

Best regards,
Joakim

Thanks for sharing the information.

I reviewed the links provided by you, but there was no reference regarding periodic advertisement.

After that i searched for the features of Softdevice v6.1.0, i found the following features regarding LE Advertising Extensions from Nordic Semiconductor website:

Qualified and supported LE Advertising Extensions features:

Long advertising packets
Chained advertising packets
Advertising and connection establishment on 2 Mbps and 1 Mbps

So there may be possibilities that periodic advertisement is not supported by softdevice v6.1.0

Here is the website link on which collected above information:

Further i want to listen from your side.

Waiting for reply

Periodic advertisments are part of the advertising extensions in BLE5. The extensions include advertising on all channels, bigger payloads and longer periods, among other things.

According to the release notes: The main new feature for s132_nrf52_6.1.0 compared to s132_nrf52_6.0.0 is the full support for all mandatory LE Advertising Extensions features.

I was unable to find specific examples doing periodic advertisements using S132 v6.1.

Here is another Nordic tutorial on the subject: blog.nordicsemi.com/.../bluetooth-5-advertising-extensions

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

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?

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.
