reading RSSI and MAC address

[mohBOSS]

Hello there,

I am using multilink_central example on nrf51822 Soc, and I charged S120 in the memory. I am trying to get the RSSI and the MAC address without getting connected to the peripheral. So I modified the on_ble_evt() function like in the attachement , and I modified in some other places where I made the //******* mark. There is a nrf Beacon that is advertising. I am not getting any MAC address, nor RSSI. I would like to know if I programmed right or not. I am using SDK v6.1, and S120 v2.0. When running the original multilink_central example, I can't get BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT.

S120 2.0.0 is not compatible with SDK 6.1.0, S120 2.0.0 is not even compatible with the latest SDK 7.2.0, it is too fresh. But SDK 7.2.0 will be more adapted to the SoftDevice API, it can be downloaded here. To see what is compatible with what, please see Page 6 in nRF51_Series_compatibility_Matrix, found here.

I suggest you start out with a ble_app_multilink_central application that triggers BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT before you do anything else. Please use S120 1.0.0 and SDK7.2.0, Then you can update your application to S120 2.0.0 when it has a compatible SDK release.

OK, thank you Petter. I'll try to use S120 1.0.0 with SDK 6.1 in ble_app_multilink_central application that triggers BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT ;) .

Hi Petter, I did exaclty what you said (SDK 6.1 in ble_app_multilink_central application that triggers BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT ), then and modified the clock SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_SYNTH_250_PPM, false). It works fine.

Thank you a lot for your support.
