Peripheral in a connected mode and broadcaster

[tadas]

For nRF51 series chips and S110, S120, S130 soft devices.

Is it somehow possible to have a connected ble peripheral while broadcasting data?

S110 spec doc says "broadcaster can run concurrently with a peripheral in a connection.". It seems that it should be possible. Is this really the case? I could not find any working code examples that do that.

I have tried starting new advertising while connected on S110. I set type to BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_NONCONN_IND and 150 ms interval. But device just reboots.

So, have you tried to restart advertising after connection and it works?

Thanks for the answer Petter, I tried this on S132 and it worked fine. Note that I did have to call sd_ble_gap-adv_stop() on the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event first, before calling sd_ble_gap_adv_start() again with type BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_IND to re-advertise as connectable.
