Extended Advertising

[BarbaraTurner]

Hi, 

I'm trying to implement non-connectable, non-scannable, undirected extended advertising mode. I'm using nRF52832 board,  SDK 15.2.0 version and latest Softdevice 6.1. 0. version.

I'm getting ADV_EXT_IND on my sniffer but I'm not sure how to send data on secondnary channels. 

Could you help.

Barbara

I currently looking into your problem and will reply as soon as I figure it out

I set adv_data.adv_data.len to 238 (extended advertising ) but sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure() turncate it to 65.

I was able to set 230 bytes of data in adv. This is how I was able to do with example "ble_app_rscs" in function "advertising_init"

static void advertising_init(void)
{
ret_code_t err_code;
ble_advertising_init_t init;
ble_advdata_manuf_data_t adv_tmp_data;

uint8_t temp_data[230];

for(uint8_t i = 1 ; i <= 230; i++)
temp_data[i] = i;

adv_tmp_data.company_identifier = 0x1111;
adv_tmp_data.data.size = sizeof(temp_data);
adv_tmp_data.data.p_data = temp_data;

memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));

//init.advdata.name_type = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
//init.advdata.include_appearance = true;
init.advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
//init.advdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
//init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids = m_adv_uuids;
init.advdata.p_manuf_specific_data = &adv_tmp_data;

init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled = true;
init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout = APP_ADV_DURATION;

init.config.ble_adv_primary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS;
init.config.ble_adv_secondary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_2MBPS;
init.config.ble_adv_extended_enabled = true;

init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

Do you have any questions? If so, could you open a new ticket and address them there?

Best regards,

Simon
