nRF8001 Support for Concurrent Peripheral Connection and Service Broadcast

[Eli Hini]

Hello guys,

Looking through the product specification for nRF8001 I am still not clear on whether a master device can be connected to the nRF8001 (in peripheral mode) and still have it broadcast available services. In the document I see that there is support for non-connectable advertisement and non-connectable data transmission. It implies that this is what I am looking for based on the Bluetooth Core Specification but I would like clarification from someone experienced with this nRF8001 before I commit to purchasing the development kits. I've already purchased a number of nRF51822 just to find out that I could not implement our application using this chip.

Thanks

Eli

Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the nRF8001 either.
