How to get other's advertising during a connectable advertising event

Hi Dialog,

As you know, DA14580 can get connection request during the Rx slots in a connectable advertising event.
Is there any way to let DA14580 to get other's advertising during the Rx slots in a connectable advertising event. like DA14580 do in a scan event?
We want to catch any channce to get information from others.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Peter Luo,

Hi Peter Luo,

You mean, a peripheral to act as a central during the RX slot and report other advertising data from other peripherals, no i dont think that something like this is possible, the receiver side opens up only for a fraction and at a specific window only to get the connection req or the scan response request and not to get advertising data, this not defined by spec and it is something that we have not tried from our side.

Thanks MT_dialog

Hi Dialog,

Hi Dialog,

Thanks for your quickly reply!
I see, the software API may not support what we want.
如果我们得到完全控制硬件,测控are support it ?

Thank you again!

Hi Peter Luo,

Hi Peter Luo,

Since the device operates as a central as well, i suppose that it does, but i repeat, that there is no provision from Dialog (since what you are asking is out of the BLE spec) for something like that.

Thanks MT_dialog

Hi Dialog,

Hi Dialog,

I understood it.
Becuase the power management is so good, except the usage as a normal BLE, we also want to use it as a unstandard BLE, even a proprietary radio transceiver. We've done some tests,, and get some progress.

Thank you very much!
