ble_advdata_parse() not found in SDK14.2

[AndrewJiajie]

Hi

   I am trying to get the manufacturer data by ble_advdata_parse() as instructed in this case and this case, but it's not found in my SDK14.2, so how can I get the manufacture data with similar function? 

   Kindly need your support!

Hi,

ble_advdata_parse was added in nRF5-SDK v15. So you need to either upgrade your SDK version, or backport the ble_advdata_parse() function from a newer SDK version to your current SDK version.

So, if I keep the SDK14,  I don't need to change the softdevice, right?

Correct.

I want to get the host manufacture name in peripheral side, is that possible?

Not sure what you mean here. You want the peripheral to read some manufacture name that the central have?

[AndrewJiajie]

Yes, my device is a mouse, and I want to know who am connecting to, and the host manufacturer ID

my device is a slave mouse, and I want to know who am connecting to, and the host manufacturer ID from slave side

It's the advertiser(e.g your mouse) that potentially advertises the manufacture data(it's not mandatory to advertise that). So the mouse/peripheral don't have this data from the central.
