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?

Unfortunately, the length of the Custom Advertisement types on the nRF8001 is limited to 20 bytes due to design limitations.

Best regards, Runar

Is this a hard constraint or is it something that could be changed in a firmware change? It would be much more useful to me to be able to add a single custom Ad type of a longer length than two of only 20 bytes.
