Make Nordic NRF52840DK as Server while other BLE Transmitter as client.

Hi Team,

We are trying to make Nordic NRF52840DK board to act as a server (BLE ) where as we are trying to connect other board (Not the Nordic chip) has only transmitter but unable to do it.

Tried with example "ble_app_gatts" by changing MAC address with other device's MAC (Peripheral-Device Identification Unique 48 Bit Device ID).

Kindly suggest best possible steps.

Detailed scenario as follow:

Hi 

We have NRF52840DK board, trying to make it as Server; acting as bluetooth gateway that will connect to many clients; these clients will have only transmitter (neither have receiver, nor have Nordic Chip-set).   

As soon as Client transmit first message (only message)(e.g. advertise), this message shall be enough to indicate that an event has occurred  to the NRF52840DK board that is acting as bluetooth gateway(server), No other handshake message (scan response etc.) shall be triggered or received. Because client has only transmitter.

How can we configure  NRF52840DK board as server that shall give a call-back function when first message (e.g.advertise) is received by stack and server can extract payload of first message.

Hope it has cleared the use-case and requirements.
