CC2652R: BLE Mesh additional advertisement set

Part Number: CC2652R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hi,

An early "sorry" if I missed it in the BLE Mesh documentation.

I'm trying to figure out of it is practically possible to add an additional advertisement set to a BLE Mesh application setup as "Mesh + Peripheral"? 
The reason I'm asking is because it seems that the "default" advertisement set is forced to be "Extended" type, which is an issue in my case. The use-case I'm looking at need to also support legacy advertisement for the "peripheral half" of the application. Is this possible to achieve today? Is it a SysConfig limitation (as it wont allow it) or does it relate to the mesh layer?

Some additional info:

I'm using the latest CCS installation and the 5.20 SDK.

Best regards,

Max

    Hey Max,

    I think this should be possible, I'm not aware of any limitations on the advertisement types for the peripheral side in the configuration you mention.

    As a very quick check, may I ask what version of SysConfig you are using? I went to Broadcaster Configuration>Advertisement Set>Advertisement Type and was able to modify it to Legacy. A screenshot of the behavior you are seeing may help me visualize what is happening, if you can provide this.

    Hi Ammar,

    Good to hear from you, I hope everything is good with you (I'm not being creepy, I promise..) :)

    Thanks for testing, it got me to look into SysConfig and it seems that it had defaulted to an older 1.8.x version for some reason. Manually changing the SysConfig version used allowed me to add new advertisements sets / change mode as expected!

    Consider this solved for now!
