scan and parse manufacturer specific data (zephyr)

Question

Hi. 
 Hope someone could help me on how to scan and parse the Manufacturer Specific Data that comes after the Company ID. I am using zephyr with nRF52840. 
 Thanks!

Hi 
 My colleague has provided you with what should be a working example in your private ticket , and has requested that you continue the discussion there. 
 For any other DevZone users finding this thread, modify the Zephyr beacon sample accordingly: 
 static char mfg_data[] = "simon_manuf";

static const struct bt_data ad[] = {
	BT_DATA(BT_DATA_MANUFACTURER_DATA, mfg_data, sizeof(mfg_data)),
}; 
 Program that onto I.E. an nRF52840 DK or Dongle, then modify the observer sample like this and program that onto another DK: 
 static bool data_cb(struct bt_data *data, void *user_data)
{
	char *name = user_data;
	uint8_t len;

	switch (data->type) {
	case BT_DATA_MANUFACTURER_DATA:
 len = MIN(data->data_len, NAME_LEN - 1);
 memcpy(name, data->data, len);
 name[len] = '\0';
 return false;
	default:
 return true;
	}
} 
 Best regards, 
 Simon
