RE: Extended Header & Extended Advertisement settings

Hello,

Thank you for replying back. It is appreciated.

I am not really looking for an API. What I want to know is, what do I need to do, to the Nordic example code to send the advertisement of my choosing (I am not asking for a dynamic switch of advertisement type). I just want to make sure I advertise what I want, correctly.

For example I am using the NORDIC "ble_app_rscs" and lets say I want to do an Extended-Nonconnectable-NonScannable-Undirected advertisment and I see on a BLE-Sniffer that the data gets displayed in AUX_ADV_IND (as I described in my first post above). What do I do if I want to fragment the data and show it on AUX_CHAIN_IND as well? Another scenario would be, lets say I want to repurpose the above code for ADV_IND only? (which is way different from ADV_EXT_IND->AUX_ADV_IND) WHAT and WHERE do I need to make changes to the code, to do a successful Advertisement of my liking?

Thanks

Faisal

Hi.

I'm afraid that isn't possible. There is no API available to change this. Not in the HCI-API in the spec. either.

You can take a look at the Core Specification - Vol 2, Part E - 7.8.53 LE Set Extended Advertising Parameters command;

The spec. only defines different advertising types, which again defines how the header should look like.

Best regards,
Joakim.
