S140: TX power field in extended advertisements

[G.ko]

Hi,

I'm looking at the recent SDKs for S140 and I can't see an option to enable the TxPower field in the extended advertisement indication packet:

I've taken a look at the include_tx_power field in ble_gap_adv_properties_t, but I see that this field is marked "This feature is not supported on this SoftDevice".

I've tried SDK 16 with S140 v7.0.1, SDK 15.3 with S140 v6.1.1 and SDK 15.1 with S140 v6.1.0, but none worked.

Is there a way to enable it anyway? Any workaround?

Best regards,

Gregory

The softdevice don't support that feature, and there are no immediate plans to support it. If the application wants to indicate the used TX power to the peer device, it may encode it as part of the advertising data.

That's a limitation I wouldn't have expected.

Thanks anyway,
Gregory
