How to change scan target name based on SDK v15.2.0 or compare the target name and make the connection by FW

[Stanley Chen]

Dear Sir,

       Good day.

       I was able to determine the peripheral devices which I need to connect based on sdk v12.2.0. I can compare the adv name and device name during BLE_GAP_EVP_REPORT state. I can make the connection to the device or ignore to search the next by the result of target name comparation. I used the driver API "sd_ble_gap_connect" to connect to device.

      Now, I am developing an application to support 5 more devices with a different name based on sdk v15.2.0. I am aware that there was no such as the process on sdk v12.2.0. The new sdk create a subroutine to handle scan process by  "NRF_BLE_SCAN_DEF(m_scan); ".

      Is there any way or how to implement my functions into sdk v15.2.0 to do the device target name comparation and to connect the device by the result of comparation?

Hi Jared,

     I have checked the sdk application ble_app_blinky_c you suggested. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything else related to devices filtering. I assume that the process of device name filtering could be in ble_advdata.c, calling ble_advdata_name_find. If so, how do I implement it in application code?

Hi Jared,

      I would like to share the current status with you. I am able to change the target device name dynamically.  The root cause is that the value of "NRF_BLE_SCAN_NAME_CNT" needs to be increased. 

     Thank you for your support. 

     Cheers!!
