Cannot get device name in advertise data with pc-ble-driver and nrf52840 dongle

[Stephane_L]

Hello,

I compiled pc-ble-driver from github and it when i debug heart_rate_collector in adv_report_parse function i only get 1, 10, 255 field_type and never  BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_COMPLETE_LOCAL_NAME or  BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_SHORT_LOCAL_NAME

If i launch nRF Connect for iPad i can see many names as peripheral.

heart_rate_monitor_sd_api_v6 works fine i can see the address rssi etc... but never the short or long name.

s140_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice.hex is used

Thanks

If the device name is not part of the advertisements, then it is not possible to get the device name without connecting. In addition, not all devices have names (even if you connect). 

Best regards,
