coded phy ble_app_blinky connectable

[Muhammad Usman]

Hi @Torbjorn!

Hope you are doing good!

I tried  using nrf52840/nrf52833 ble_app_blinky_c and ble_app_blinky for connectable coded PHY. But it only works for 1M_Phy. Although it has the provision of coded_phy.Can you please help me with how to enable coded PHY in the above-mentioned examples? 

When I set 1M_Phy both the devices successfully connected but when I set

adv_params.primary_phy     = BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS;

then it works fine!

2)Can we use ble_app_beacon for coded PHY connectable mode coded phy ? if yes can you please mention the central example for the ble_app_beacon to receive the packets?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Muhammad

If you are just looking for a standar BLE connection, do you really need beacon support at all? 

It is possible for a device to be connected to a central device and send beacon packets at the same time, but I am not sure if your use case requires this?

Hi ovrebekk

Thank you for the response! Yes, u r right I need an example code for connectable advertisement using coded PHY . For this, i find out the long_range test code . I am trying to make it run. Thank you!

Good luck 

You might want to consider switching to the nRF Connect SDK instead of the nRF5 SDK. 

This is where we will continue or efforts going forward, and where you will see support for a wider range of Bluetooth features. 

The nRF Connect SDK includes central and peripheral examples using coded PHY out of the box.

Hi @Torbjorn!

Thank you so much for the response! and for sharing your experience. I will try to switch to nRF Connect SDK instead of the nRF5 SDK. As of wider support.
