HCI Vendor-Specific Scan Request

Browse source code on GitHub

Overview

This simple application is a usage example to manage HCI VS commands to obtain scan request events even using legacy advertisements, while may result in lower RAM usage than using extended advertising. This is quite important in applications in which the broadcaster role is added to the central role, where the RAM saving can be bigger. This sample implements only the broadcaster role; the peripheral role with connection can also be added, depending on configuration choices.

Requirements

  • A board with Bluetooth LE support

  • A central device & monitor (e.g. nRF Connect) to check the advertiments and send scan requests.

Building and Running

This sample can be found under samples/bluetooth/hci_vs_scan_req in the Zephyr tree.
