RE: Advertise in non-connectable and then directed

GK — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 08:51:34 GMT
Hi Jared,
Thank you very much for your reply. I was trying to make it work for a long time...But I could not and I am still working on this.
I am using the address which I got from the scan report ( from the phone). It shows that the ADDRESSTYPE is BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_RESOLVABLE. (I got a number 2 for the type).
I am setting this address using ble_advertising_peer_addr_reply() function. For the first 2 mins I am using normal advertising and after that I am doing directed advertising for each 2 mins duration.
It is not throwing any error. But when I try to connect, the connection is not happening between phone and peripheral.
The wake up is handled in function wakeup_timeout_handler() where advertising is called in directed mode.
Will you be able to tell me if I am missing something. I am inserting the main function here. It is modified version of ble_app_hrs code base.
I have made the following changes in advertising_init() function also
init.config.ble_adv_directed_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
init.config.ble_adv_directed_timeout = APP_ADV_DURATION;
init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;
init.config.ble_adv_whitelist_enabled =true; //gk for whitelist
init.config.ble_adv_directed_enabled =true; //gk for directed
