Manufacturer Specific Data with the nRF8001

[K. Townsend]

I was able to add Manufacturer Specific Data to the advertising packet on the nRF51822 without any problems, but I don't see any straight-forward way to do this on the nRF8001 which we need to support on a previous design.

Is there any sort of example of how to modify the advertising data on the 8001 to include a specific payload in the Manufacturer Specific Data?

There seems to be a maximum length to this field, even if you have enough space in the advertising packet for more data?

When I try to enter: 4c000215e20a39f473f54bc4a12f17d1ad07a96100000000c8

It truncates the data before the last 5 bytes (you can see in the image above the paste stopped at 0x61, and manually entering data has the same effect).

There was no problem on the nRF51822 advertising with the longer array.
