iOS MTU size why only 185 bytes

Hi,

I am writing an APP for comunicating with my nRF peripheral. I've set the MTU size to 251 and this works fine under bluez or android.

But if I try it in iOS (>10.0) I get only 185 bytes. Is there any way to increase it with DLE (data length extension).

So far the internet says no, but as I studied the BLE 4.2 standard it should be possible?

Best regards,

C.W.

  • Hi,

    For the IOS, you need to do the Data length request first and then wait for the MTU request from IOS side.

  • the example source code is attached.

  • Hi,

    i've tried your example but it did not change something. I've added

    data_len_ext_set(true);
    gatt_mtu_set(NRF_SDH_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE);

    But I can still only get 185 bytes. What I am missig?

    My data:

    nRF52832 dev board

    This is the order I am calling the routines

        #elif defined BOARD_PCA10040
