BLE Advert Extensions Example

[Youssif]

Hi

Is there an example in the SDK or anywhere that displays the use of LE Advert Extensions? I have been browsing softdevice v6.0.0-6.alpha and I came across the structure ble_gap_cfg_adv_config_t; however, this is not used anywhere in any example therefore there is no way to check if we're on the right path when adding the extended adverts features.

If there isn't any example available, can you please show me how the advert extensions are enabled when the sd_ble_enable is called and how that ties to sd_ble_gap_adv_start?

We are using nrf52840 and softdevice v6.0.0-6.alpha and SDK 14.0.0.

Thanks

Hi

The advertising extension support in S140 v6.0.0-6.alpha is very limited. Features such as long packets, periodic advertising or chained advertising is not supported, but we added support for advertising in the long range (coded phy) mode to allow long range connection establishment.

For an example of this you could have a look at the nrf52-ble-app-uart-long-range example, which is a modified version of the ble_app_uart example in the SDK that uses the long range mode.
