Performing Bluetooth 2.0 inquiry and BLE scan with nRF52840

[Yaronka]

I would like to build a device that periodically will list all adjacent Bluetooth devices.

This device should do a Bluetooth inquiry and get all discoverable devices information ,and also do a BLE scan and record all beacons it recieves.

While BLe funcionality is well documented , there is no mention to Bluetooth 2.0 operation in the documentation. 

Is Bluetooth inquiry feasible with 52840 ?   how is it implemented ?

Hi

Bluetooth version 2.0 is not compatible with the nRF51/52/53 series I'm afraid, as Bluetooth Low Energy was first introduced (as Bluetooth Smart) in version 4.0 of the Bluetooth core stack. 

I'm not familiar with what Bluetooth "Inquiry" is I must say, but if it is a Bluetooth Classic (older than v4.0.0) specific feature, then no, it is not supported by the nRF52840.

Best regards,

Simon
