pc-ble-driver no scan response

[Torsten Robitzki]

I want to incoorperate the pc-ble-driver into a product, using the PCA10059 USB-dongle. My design requires me to receive advertising scan responses. I successfully receive advertising events and I see both, scan resquests and scan responses with a sniffer, but I never receive any scan responses. According to the debug messages, printed by the pc-ble-driver I suspect that scan responses are never send from the PCA10059 to the connected PC.

I expect the `type.scan_response` field in the received `ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t` event to be set once in a while.

Any idea, why I do not receive any scan responses? Do I have to configure the reception? A'm I'm using the wrong connectivity firmware?

I'm using the connectivity_4.1.1_usb_with_s140_6.1.1 with an PCA10059 1.0.0 on OS/X 10.14.5.

See attached, the sniff and the logfile.

best regards,

Torsten

Hi,

Are you using the latest stable version of pc-ble-driver (v4.1.1)? Did you set active scanning in the scan parameters?

If this does not help, can you post the application that you use?

Best regards,
Jørgen

Yes, I'm using https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/archive/v4.1.1.zip and yes, I'm activating scanning (see the attached sniff).

This is part of a larger project, with several dependencies. I will try to strip it down to a bare minimum to provide you with an easy to build example.

Hi Jørgen,

please find attached a small (200 LOC) reproducer. When sniffing the connection between the PCA10059 and my device (based on an nrf52 / s132) I can see scan requests (originating from the PCA10059) and responses (originating from my device).

Please let me know, if you have any questions or if you need any additional support from me.

best regards,

Torsten

BTW: Takk for looking into this!

Hi Jørgen,

have you found the time to look into my little reproducer?

best regards,

Hi,

I've got the same problem. But I see that the data are available only if you set a company Id different from 0xffff. I hope this information will help you to understand or fix this issue.
