Hi Bipin,

nRF Connect SDK v1.5.1 does support simultaneous central and peripheral, but we don't have any example that is compatible with it.. This is because there have been a few changes incorporated into the newer versions of the SDK that you need to track using the release notes. Making a few changes in the central and peripheral hrs example in v1.8.1 accordingly can help you run the sample in v1.5.1.

Regards,

Swathy

Hi,

Thanks for the response.Just to be clear,"does that mean that 1.5 does not support simultaneous central plus peripheral, or that it does support, but the 1.8 example cannot be used as it is in 1.5.1?"

if 1.5.1 supports the simultaneous operation,how can i implement it?

Hi Bipin,

There are no similar examples that is compatible with v1.5.1.. The sample that was shared by Stefan was newly added example in the version v1.8.0 of the nRF Connect SDK.. This example cannot be used in v1.5.1.. There are changes added in each of the later versions.. You could try copying the sample from v1.8.0 to v1.5.1.. But you will need to refer the release notes of the later versions to account for the changes made.. You can find the release notes here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/release_notes.html

Is there any specific reason as to why you cannot use newer version of the SDK..? It is always recommended to do so..

Best Regards,

Swathy

Too bad I don't know what needs to be done. I'm just a consumer. I don't like either SEGGER or VSC, precisely because they lack all these details in case of errors.

I do not know. But if you want to try without downloading the entire SDК, here's the whole example, try it with you, with 1.5.1, if it works.

Thanks for the response.

Is it possible to make it work that example in sdk 1.5.1?

The example is from SDK1.8x, but after modification it may work. I haven't tried it.
