SCAN RSP

[Malcolm]

I am trying to use the SCAN RSP data. Scan req is set active and I see SCAN REQ and SCAN RSP in captures, however my central does not give my application any data. I am using example central code

void nrf_ble_scan_on_ble_evt(ble_evt_t const * p_ble_evt, void * p_contex)
{
    nrf_ble_scan_t                 * p_scan_data  = (nrf_ble_scan_t *)p_contex;
    ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t const * p_adv_report = &p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report;
    ble_gap_evt_t const            * p_gap_evt    = &p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt;

    switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id)
    {
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
            nrf_ble_scan_on_adv_report(p_scan_data, p_adv_report);
            break;

        case BLE_GAP_EVT_TIMEOUT:
            nrf_ble_scan_on_timeout(p_scan_data, p_gap_evt);
            break;

        case BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT:
            nrf_ble_scan_on_req_report(p_scan_data, p_gap_evt);

            break;

But the option for BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT is never called. I see advertisements.

Hi,

But the option for BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT is never called. I see advertisements.

You will get a BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT for both received advertisment packets and scan report packets. The BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT event is only relevant for the advertiser, and informs that it has received a scan request, so that is not relevant here.

You need to look at the advertising report (ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t instance) to see if the received packet is a advertising packet or scan response packet. The type field will indicate which it is.

Thank you. I now understand the naming of these events and I see the scan response message in my central.
