nRF52840 DK - beacon data of 20 bytes + full device name

[Vivek_Core]

Hi,

I am using nRF52840 DK with SDK [nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2]. Using example "ble_app_beacon" and i can see the result of the same in nRF connect android app.

Now i want to add Full device name in this example. How can i do that ?

Thanks

 You could modify the advdata.name_type to BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME.

Hi Amanda,

yes i have already done that. But i am getting error code 0x12 NRF_DATA_SIZE_ERROR

Hi, 

To maximize the information included in the packet, major and minor values are used. You could try to remove something from the packet, for example, the Manufacturer specific data, see if anything happens then.

Please see this post and this.

Hi Amanda,

Yes if i remove manufacturer specific data then FULL_NAME works. But i want both together, manufacturer data and FULL_NAME.

Hi, 

Please be aware that the size of the manufacturer data is limited by the maximum size of the advertising packet, and also what other data is in the advertising packet.

e.g. if you use a long name, and/or a 128-bit service, etc in your advertising packet, there will be less spare for the manufacturer data.
