BLE 5.0 new features.

[zlt]

Hi guys, I've got a nRF 52840-DK, I want to verify the new features like 2M/long range/advertising extension.

1. Is there any exmaple to test these featues, or any guideline documents?
2. How to verify if these functions work fine? For example, advertising extension, do I have to install specific application to scan advertising extension packets device?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can test out 2 Mbit and Coded PHY/Long-range mode with the ATT_MTU Throughput Example in our SDK.

The advertising extensions are shown in the Running Speed and Cadence Application. If you have a phone that supports advertising extensions, you can scan the advertisements from this example with nRF Connect (I verified this on a Huawei P30 Pro). If not, you can test it against the Running Speed and Cadence Collector Example.

Best regards,
Jørgen
