I found I need to set the filter at nrf_ble_scan_filter_set, I want to know how I should set the uuid filter. As the example using nus, which it set the filter uuid to 0x0001 and what is the type? Is that the type of the eddystone packet same as nus? Moreover, if the packet matches the filter, it will connect to the device, if I want to avoid connection, what should I do?

Yes, BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT is the event when an advertisement is received.

Details of the scanning module are here:

Thank you for your reply. I have found the problem is that nrf_log_info is not working, and after I use printf, I can see the scanner working and always enter BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT. Sorry for making this silly problem. Another question is that is the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT is enter when it detect a bluetooth device? And can I filter the device by modifying scan_param?

Are you getting any error codes?

What debugging have you done to find what's going wrong?

Did you remember to program the SoftDevice?
