How to get the advertised name from discovery packets from a central in nrfconnect sdk?

Hi,

I am using  nrfconnect sdk with central_uart example. How to get the name of the device

advertise the BLE discovery packets?   nrfconnect android app shows the name after the scan.

Hi,

The advertising data is contained in the bt_scan_device_info struct. You can enable a scan filter that filters peripheral devices based on the manufacturer data as in this case. See the BLE central UART for an example on how to enable a scan filter.

Hi Jared,

Hi Jared,

Thanks for the reply.  Your suggestion works.  Before this I got this solved using the

following (got this copied from zephyr sources)

bt_le_scan_cb_register(&scan_callbacks);

Does the above call forces the BT controller to be that of zephyr?

In my code I set CONFIG_BT_LL_SOFTDEVICE=y

No, that shouldn't force it to use the Zephyr controller.
