Bluetooth Versioning

TigerD

Hi,

I have some nRF52840 DK boards and want to develop a system with 5.0 BLE.

But my linux box host has older version:

Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

My first question is this is Bluetooth 2.22, and the BLE5.0 is Bluetooth: Core ver 5.0? So we are using Core version as Bluetooth Version.

Is possible for Core ver 2.22 program (central) to scan Core version 5.0 advertisements? I believe it will not work. Let me ask in another way: Is it possible for nRF52840 to be programmed so that it can be scanned by Bluetooth 2.22 device?

Thank you,

David

    Hi David

    It's as Jörg and Andrew say, the Bluetooth: Core ver doesn't tell you what Bluetooth version your Linux box supports, and your hardware will have to support BT4.0 or later in order to communicate with nRF devices at all, and version 5.0 or later to use Bluetooth 5 specific features such as Long Range advertising or the increased throughput mode (2Mbps). 

    Best regards,

    Simon
