Filter packets by mac address

[Sergy]

My device is central and peripheral running freertos.

In the central role it would receive advertised packets from devices with certain MAC addresses. peripheral device sends a packet every 5 seconds.

Somehow I dont receive all the packets. At the moment I tried to match MAC address in on_adv_report, but this didnt help.

then I added filtering in scan_init as follows:

err_code = nrf_ble_scan_init(&m_scan, &init_scan, scan_evt_handler);
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
	//char arr[6]={0x3A, 0xC0, 0x35, 0x47, 0x01, 0x01};
  char arr[6]={0x01, 0x01,0x47,0x35,0xc0,0x3A};
	err_code = nrf_ble_scan_filter_set(&m_scan,
                                          SCAN_ADDR_FILTER,
                                          arr);
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
  err_code = nrf_ble_scan_filters_enable(&m_scan,
                                           NRF_BLE_SCAN_ADDR_FILTER,
                                           false);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

But when I check on_adv_report it still prints out all the messages from all MAC addresses withoyt filtering. 

What do I do wrong?

Thanks!

I'm currently looking into your questions and will try to provide an answer in the upcoming days.

To start with, could you see if you are able to make this work with ble_app_blinky peripheral and ble_app_blinky central by following the steps in https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/55724/ble-connection-through-mac-address-issue
