BLE Beaconing and Scanning

Hii.....
I am New to DA14580. I have a DA14580 Basic Development kit.
I want to implement BLE beaconing(non connected) and also implementing BLE scanning in same application. I need a support
where i start to achieve both this?
I need a help to implement both beaconing and Scanning in same application.

Hi alan.a,

Hi alan.a,

We don’t still support BLE Beacon for DA14580 devices. Although, we currently support BLE Beacon for DA14585/6 devices, so if you would like to have beacon functionality, I would strongly recommend you move on DA14585/6 product. Could you please describe what you would like to accomplish? If I am able to understand correctly from what you mentioned, would you want to have the implementation both of the advertising and scanning, and somehow change the functionality, for example by pressing a push button? Could you please provide further details in order to give the correct guidelines? Regarding functionality for DA14585/6 products, I would suggest you to have a look at DA14585 IoT Multi Sensor Development Kit reference design from our support page.

Thanks for your reply,

Thanks for your reply,
I want to both advertising and scanning.
for example i have one DA14580 basic development kit . 5 minutes kit act as Advertiser and next 5 minute Kit act as scanner(is it possible DA14580 simultaneously act as advertiser and scanner?). This is i want to implement using DA14580. can you give some support to start this?

Hi alan.a,

Hialan.a,

It is not possible to configure the 580/581/583 in dual mode, you can only have a role switch, switching between central and peripheral by issuing a GAPM_RESET_CMD (no connections are maintained between the switching). The 585 is capable of operating in dual mode. If you would like to implement role switching (counting via a timer or via an external event or anything that can trigger the role switching) you will just have to issue a GAPM_RESET_CMD there is a ready function that does that which is the app_gapm_reset_msg_create(). After doing that the device will get a GAPM_CMP_EVT (the gapm_cmp_evt_handler() function), with the operation parameter set to the GAPM_RESET. So as soon as you get this the stack is reset and you should invoke a GAPM_SET_DEV_CONFIG_CMD which will configure the device as a central or as a peripheral. The app_easy_gap_dev_configure() function uses the default parameters from the user_config.h file, so you will have to make a custom implementation in order to select which configuration your device would apply to the stack. Please check the following post for more info:

Hi vanaja,

Hi vanaja,

Could you please check the link below? It’s a past forum thread describing how you can configure a DA14580 as a central. If this does not answer your question, please create a new forum thread.
