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.

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 ;) .

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.

In the scan_start() function, the count variable is always 1, so I can't launch the sd_ble_gap_scann_start().

If you load ble_app_multilink_central unmodified, do you get to BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT? What version of the SDK and what version of the SoftDevice are you using? Please upload your complete project (not just main.c) so I can test it here.

Hi Petter,

In fact I am following the rssi value and the address variable in the memory through the debugger. But till now I cannot get the value of rssi, and neither the MAC address. When I put a breakpoint in BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT and run, the program never stop.

What is happening? How are you testing this? Have you used the debugger? If not use it, and put a breakpoint in BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT. You might have to turn off optimizations in Target for Options->C/C++ tab.
