[Online Power Profiler for BLE]

[kjjsq912]

Hello,

nRF52810 supports BT5.0, but maximum payload is 27byte in Online Power Profiler for BLE.

Is this a bug?

Hi

This is not a bug, but a missing feature in the Online Power Profiler. The Online Power Profiler uses estimations based on actual tested current consumption scenarios, and we have not yet tested and implemented. The nRF52810 uses the S112 SoftDevice in these tests, and this SoftDevice does not support extended advertising (as it takes quite a lot of space in RAM/Flash memory, which the nRF52810 has a limited amount of).

Best regards,

Simon

Thank you for the reply. I understand.

Does actual nRF52810 support 251byte payload per packet?

Yes, the hardware does support extended advertising, by looking at the compatibility matrix you can see that the nRF52810 is tested with S132 v5.1.0 (which supports extended advertising alongside nRF5 SDK v14.2), or you can use the nRFConnect SDK (NCS) v1.3.0 or newer which doesn't require a SoftDevice, but uses the Zephyr RTOS which lets you decide what to implement yourself.

Best regards,

Simon
