How can I make peripheral device name configurable?

[PingISTL]

Dear all

I am developing a BLE product, and would like to have a different device name for each unit like Product1, Product2 etc. when advertising, so user can identify each of them.

I noticed Device name in Generic Access service is read only, is there a way I can configure it differently?

Regards!

Thank you, it works now, just don't think the last option(CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME_DYNAMIC ) is necessary as I stop adv first and restart again after I got a full name with ID.

One more question, I need to save the full device name with ID once it is received, so it stays over power cycles, how can I do that please?

Regards!

Hi Ping,

Good to know that things are working. Also interesting to know that CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME_DYNAMIC doesn't matter.
Its name is very clear and it has always been on for me so I didn't check what happened if it is turned off. Interesting, I wonder what it is for then.

Regarding saving over power cycles, you could refer to this recent Q&A:  RE: Recommended solution for persistent data storage in NCS . The question looks different at first but they are discussing exactly what you need over there.

Best regards,
