Does nRF52805 support extended advertisements in Zephyr?

[Ryan Lindeman (CAE)]

I am developing a BLE Peripheral device using the nRF52805 and have just discovered that neither of the two SoftDevice packages offered for this chip have support for extended advertisements. If I switch to using Zephyr am I going to run into the same issue?

Hi

No, the nRF52805 does not support extended advertising I'm afraid. This is mostly due to size limitations, as advertising extensions takes a lot of memory to implement, which is why our smallest SoCs does not support it. I would suggest going for the nRF52820 or nRF52832 instead if extended advertiisng support is a requirement.

Best regards,
