BLE Scan on nRF52811

[Armin_B]

hi,

how can i scan for other BLE advertisments on nrf52811? there is no official documentation showing how to have Central role on nrf52811 softdevices! and no support in nRF SDK for that. what is the best practice you recommend to have BLE Scan functionality on nrf52811.

Thanks

Exactly the same as on any other nRF52 !

For general info, see:

Probably for the same reasons that the nRF52810 is not well-suited to a Central role:

EDIT

The nRF52811 is quite recent - so maybe there isn't a certified SoftDevice for it yet which supports Central role?

There are many of its features still without software support.

(it took quite a while for Central to become available on the 52810)

Thank you,

there is a very recent version of s140 that can be applicable on nRF52811 (as NordiSemi stated).

i wonder which feature of this new s140 is going to function on nRF52811. because there was a significant difference in functionality between previous qualified softdevices for nRF52811 (s112 & s113) and s140; eg. Central role, most of Bluetooth 5 features and etc.
