Connecting to nrf51822 with Public Address

[Amit]

I'm using the nrf51822 EK board (pca10001). I'm able to connect fine from my laptop (using Bluez) if I use a random address on my laptop. However, if I use a public address from my laptop, I'm unable to connect. Incidentally, I have the opposite issue with an off-the-shelf heart rate monitor (I can connect with a public address but not a random address).

Am I missing something basic in the BLE spec? I can't find any mention of such a restriction in either the core specification or nrf51 documentation.

What are you flashing on the pca10001 board? Your connection route is also not explained well enough. What are you specifically trying to accomplish?

Never mind, I'm stupid. Closing.

I have the same problem. I can connect throuth Android app, but from laptop or usb stick no.
