device name change

[mdeep209]

Hi all,

I need to change the device name frequently to show button status. So remote device can see button status without connecting to device.

Is there any way to achieve this? I used SDK 6.1.0, PC1001 proximity demo code. Here, I called sd_ble_gap_device_name_set routine with an incremental number every time one button pressed in my evolution kit. But, I found the device name never getting updated, its always sowing the name set on starting. Is there any other way to change the name dynamically without resetting stack?

You need to call ble_advdata_set() again after calling sd_ble_gap_device_name_set().

See this post for more details:

I tried the same but could not see any effect on name. Is there any other way to achieve it?

If you are using iOS to test. There may be a caching problem. Try to turn the Bluetooth setting off then on again, see if it works.
