Are there other ways to extract the CRC failures and long packet errors ? Pointers are welcome.

Ah I see. I thought you were using our nRF5 Mesh SDK.

Then I don't think we have any API that will work out of the box in order to access link quality data. Not other than the RSSI and qos that you already mentioned.

This is a connected mesh so there are GAP connections established between the Centrals and Peripherals running on the nodes. The link quality i.e. CRC and errors are needed for the connections. Please provide the API for this. Hope this is clearer.

Hi.

Like you said, in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh you have the scanner_stats_get () function that can give ytou some statistical information.

Do you need help using the function? Not sure if I understand what you are having trouble with.

You already mentioned the function that can provide you with the information.
