Is it possible to switch between GATT server and GATT client at runtime on the nrf51822?

Hi,

Is it possible to switch between GATT server and GATT client at runtime on the nrf51822? If so, do you know how long it takes?

Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert,

If you are thinking about the softdevice S110, then the answer is that it is always acting as a GATT Server. And it is up to the application if it should act as a GATT Client. Therefore there is no delay or anything because you never have to switch between these roles.

If you are thinking if the softdevice can switch between acting as a Central or Peripheral, then the answer is no. The S110 will only act as a Peripheral.
