Hi,

May I ask why you want to send the Bluetooth address as the device name (The address is part of the advertising packet header after all)?

That aside, you cannot do this statically in the configuration (CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME sets the device name build time), as you need to read it runtime. What you could do is to read using bt_id_get(), and use it to set the device name as explained in this post, using bt_set_name(). Note that you must add CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME_DYNAMIC=y to your prj.conf in order to do this.
