Beaconing advertisement
Hi all,
I'm referring to the BLE_Beacon example project. I figured out that we need to start the advertisement and then attach the required payload/service_data. Is there any minimum set of advertisement packets to be broadcasted in-order to see the payload??
aci_gap_set_discoverable -> aci_gap_delete_ad_type -> aci_gap_update_adv_data
The above-mentioned steps happen during a single advertisement event?
/* Put the device in a non-connectable mode. */
ret = aci_gap_set_discoverable(ADV_NONCONN_IND, /*< Advertise as non-connectable, undirected. */
AdvertisingInterval, AdvertisingInterval, /*< Set the advertising interval as 700 ms (0.625 us increment). */
GAP_PUBLIC_ADDR, NO_WHITE_LIST_USE, /*< Use the public address, with no white list. */
0, NULL, /*< Do not use a local name. */
0, NULL, /*< Do not include the service UUID list. */
0, 0); /*< Do not set a slave connection interval. */
if (ret != BLE_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
return ret;
}
/* Remove the TX power level advertisement (this is done to decrease the packet size). */
ret = aci_gap_delete_ad_type(AD_TYPE_TX_POWER_LEVEL);
if (ret != BLE_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
return ret;
}
/* Update the service data. */
ret = aci_gap_update_adv_data(sizeof(service_data), service_data);
if (ret != BLE_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
return ret;
}
