BLueNRG: No Advertizing

Hello,

I want to use a BlueNRG as HCI device. I�ve used the ACI Command Write_Config_Data to set a public address (0xaa, 0x00, 0x00, 0xE1, 0x80, 0x02). I use the HCI command �LE Set Advertising Data Command� and finally use the HCI command �

LE Set Advertise Enable Command�.

All that commands report successfully execution but when using a generic BLE Client (like BLExplr on iOS), I can not see any advertising Device. What am I�m missing? I don�t want to use the GATT/ATT stack of the BlueNRG, because I want to use BlueNRG to test my own GATT stack.

Thank you for every tipp or comment on this.

Cheers,

Torsten

In addition, I've used an ubertooth to see if there are any advertising packages, but there are none.

I've added a HCI_LE_Read_Advertizing_Channel_Tx_Power command and received the value 8dBm. Is this a reasonable value?

I found the information, that there is a known bug in the BlueNRG (

ID 868). Issueing 4 commands in defined order works and I can see now my advertising data.

Hi,

Could you pinpoint me to the source of the bug you describe (bug ID 868)? and the corresponding sequence of commands

Thanks!

Hi,

this is a limitation of fw stack version 6.4:

  • ID 868: The use of HCI commands for advertising needs to follow a particular sequence to ensure correct outcome: 1) HCI_LE_SET_ADVERTISING_PARAMETERS; 2) HCI_LE_SET_ADVERTISING_DATA; 3) HCI_LE_SET_SCAN_RESPONSE_DATA; 4) HCI_LE_SET_ADVERTISE_ENABLE
(refer to release note).

Regards,

GM
