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

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

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.
