How much of extended adverts is supported in the latest Softdevice

[Mahendra Tailor]

Hi

We have a lot of customers asking for full extended adverts features as per the latest spec in terms of all types of adverts and also other PHYs

Apparently other BLE SoC manufacturers offer that functionality.

Is there a summary of what is and what is not supported in the latest softdevice?

And for the stuff not supported, is there a plan to do so?

We are losing customers.

Look forward to hearing from you

Kind regards
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,

The latest softdevices (s132/s140 v6.1.1/7.0.0) support the following features, as mentioned in the key features of softdevice specifications:

Extended Advertising support

• Advertising and scanning up to 255 bytes of advertising data in an advertising event
• Advertising, scanning, and connecting on all supported PHYs
• Anonymous advertising

The only non-supported feature is the periodic advertising, which we are working on adding into future softdevices. For details on roadmaps and release schedule, you need to contact your regional sales manager.

Best regards,
Jørgen
