S120 and advertising

[Martin]

Hi.

I'm doing a project on S120 Softdevice and in "ble_gap.h" file (included from S120 catalog) i have noticed sd_ble_gap_adv_start() command. I tried to use it but i received "NRF_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED" error. Is it possible to do advertising with S120 softdevice or is it just relic from S110 version of "ble_gap.h" file?

P.S. I'm using latest SDK 6.1.0.

Best regards, Martin

The S120 does not support the peripheral role required to handle advertising. However you may attempt to use a version of the S120 that supports the time slot API and then use this project along with the S120 to do advertising.

Please update me on your progress.

I stumbled upon this as well and was irritated at first, because the documentation clearly states that the function should be available. I guess this has to be updated in the documentation as well.
