Discover Extended Advertisment with BLE4 devices

[Beldramma]

Hi !

 I am on SDK 15.2 and NRF52832. My peripheral device is on BLE5 and my Central is on BLE4. 

I have read that extended advertisement ( up to 256bytes) is a BLE5 functionality, but is there a way to discover extended advertisement with BLE4 devices ? I have read that maybe we can use additional advertisement ( up to 31 bytes) to do that.

Regards

Hi,

Unfortunately, extended advertisment is one of the BLE features that's only available in version 5.

I have read that maybe we can use additional advertisement ( up to 31 bytes) to do that.

 Yes, this is correct. You can get an additional 31 bytes with payload by including a scan response packet.  This blog post explains how: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/short-range-guides/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial
