The only differences that I'm aware of are stated in the Bluetooth specification. There are no additional dependencies required for the code. Most of our BLE examples use the limited discovery flag.

Hi,

Because of some other issue, it did not work. With BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE its working fine.

My last query on this is, is there any other dependency or any difference between "Limited discovery" and "General discover with timeout" ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

APP_ADV_DURATION can be defined as 18000/BLE_GAP_ADV_TIMEOUT_LIMITED_MAX when you use BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE. Have you checked if the error occurs during adv init or adv start?
