scan and parse manufacturer specific data (zephyr)

[Oli]

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
