Hi Reedomneck,
Yes you are correct. It's supported on SDK v15.1 (S140 v6.1.0) but not SDK v15.0.
If you have a look at the S140 v6.1.0 release note you can find this:

So my suggestion is to move to SDK 15.1 (if not SDK v17.1) if you want to use Advertising Extension.

See I'me referring to SDK 15.0 and soft device 6.0.0. In the ble_app_rscs device name is "Nordic_RSC" and it's not able to advertise more than 31 bytes.

Hi Reedomneck,

I'm sorry for the late response. I was a on a business trip last week.
Regarding the extended advertising please try to test with the \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_rscs example. You can see the device name is very long, to show that it's more than 31 bytes.

For 2Mbps and CODED PHY please look at this last reply here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../269089

I really don't know what you meant by Bluetooth 5 speed, data rate, power consumption etc . You need to be specific on what exactly you want to see.

Hi,

Any examples are there with these feature?

Yes, SDK v15.0 should have it.

Thanks for sharing details. Which SDK version to be used for accessing the first 5 features? or Is it available in 15.0.0.

Hi,
I have no idea what you meant by

1)Speed
2)Data rate
3)power consumption
4)range

You need to be more specific on the features that you are looking for. For example speed, what speed ?

In the list you provided , only point 6 is not supported. It's not supported in all softdevice including the latest one.

But it's supported in nRF Connect SDK which is our new SDK.

Hi,

We are mainly looking for the below BLE 5 features.

1)Speed
2)Data rate
3)power consumption
4)range
5)Extended Advertisements
6)Periodic Advertisements

Please let us know if these are supported in s140_nrf52_6.0.0_softdevice, SDK 15.0.0

Hi,

There isn't much changed in the latest S140 v7.x vs the S140 v6.0.0 with regard the BLE 5 features.
You can find the list here:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-software/S140

You can have a look at the release note .pdf file included in S140 v7.x to find the added feature compare to S140 v6.0.0 to know which feature is not supported.

Hi,

Still we are evaluating what BLE 5 features required and all. Could you please share what are the BLE 5 related features supported by S140 v6.0.0 Sofdevice. Link or info centre path.

Hi Reedomneck ,

Could you let me know exactly which feature of Bluetooth 5.0 that you want to have ?

S140 v6.0.0 already supported many Bluetooth 5.0 features for example 2Mbps , CODED PHY or extended advertising.
