Hi Luis,

Sorry for not clarifying; Does not support BLE 5.1 Direction finding --> B

I belive 5.1 and 5.2 are exclusive, meaning you can support 5.2 without supporting 5.1.

Hi Kaja,

Thanks for the feedback.

You stated "nRF52832 does not support BLE 5.1", something that is also stated at the other thread, but does it mean:

- A) nRF52832 does not support at all BLE 5.1? or

- B) it simply does not support some functionality specified at BLE 5.1 (e.g., not supporting Direction Finding)?

From the documentation it is stated that nRF52832 does support BLE 5.2 and we are using Softdevice S132, which states "BLE 5.1 qualified". Does it mean that the BLE version being used in 5.0 (not 5.1 nor 5.2)?

Regarding my initial doubt, most probably we will end up trying such scenario first, should Direction Finding AoA really be required to be supported by customer, since if possible it would be preferable to limit the changes only to the devices it is really needed.

Thanks,

Rgds,

Luis

Hi Luis,

as stated in the other case nRF52832 does not support BLE 5.1.
The scenario your suggesting; it might be possible, but it will not be compatible with BLE 5.1 and we don't have any examples for it.
