nRFConnect SDK Sample not working (periodic_adv _sync)

[TigerD]

Hi,

I have nRF52840 DK with nRFConnect SDK 1.6.99

Compiled and run on nRF52840 boards:

F:\_Develop\ConnectSDK\ncs\zephyr\samples\bluetooth\periodic_adv

F:\_Develop\ConnectSDK\ncs\zephyr\samples\bluetooth\periodic_sync

I found that in the periodic_adv,

   mfg_data[2]++;

is sent with the advertisements, but it is not received at periodic_sync:

The debug run printout:

[DEVICE] : 14:0F:D4:7E:DE:A5(random), AD evt type 5, Tx Pwr : 127, RSSI - 30 Test Periodic Advertising C:0 S:0 D:0 SR:0 E:1 Prim : LE 1M, Secn : LE 2M,

In the periodic_sync, function void scan_recv ()

    if (!per_adv_found && info->interval) {
        per_adv_found = true;

        per_sid = info->sid;
        bt_addr_le_copy(&per_addr, info->addr);

        k_sem_give(&sem_per_adv);
    }

info->interval always 0.

And  callbacks     sync_cb,    recv_cb are never called.

Did I miss anything?

Also does bluez5.50 in the linux (btmon) support periodic advertisements? Or is there a way in the linux that can scan and capture such advertisements?

Thank you,

David Zhou

Hi David, 

Sorry for the late reply. 

Have you tried using nRF Sniffer to see what is going on?

I am setting up a couple of boards with these samples myself at the moment. If possible, it would be great if you could share your project folders so that I could try exactly the same as you on my side. 

Another thing, have you tried this in v1.6.1?

Best regards,
