Is it possible to change the BLE protocol using nRF8001 SDK

[Kirti]

I am new to Bluetooth 4.0 and want to use for a specific application. I intend to modify the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol and would need continuous transmission of packets. Is it possible to implement it using this nRF8001.

Continuous transmission is usually used in Direct Test Mode and the nRF8001 does support that mode of operation. See the nRF8001 Datasheet and look for direct test mode. The actual Direct Test Mode commands are documented in the Bluetooth Core specifications v4.1 Volume 6 , Part F, Section 3.3 .

However this is intended for testing and not for normal operation.

Is this what you are looking for ?

Thank you! Star Destroyer I think this is what I am looking for but is it possible to receive signal during this period as well. My application requires to transmit and receive at the same time. I am not sure whether that is possible?

Best, Kirti
