What is difference Between Advertisment and discoverable in respect to CC2541(BLE)?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541

Hello,

I am developing BLE product using CC2541 mini development kit, I have been understanding the program structure several times I encounter term "Discover" & "Advertisment" but unable to get the difference between two.

Please help to make my understanding in this context.

Also need help to modify the same, How to make advertisement and discovery enable or disable at predefined time or immigately(i.e on button press, etc.)?

I hope I make my point clear.

Thanks and Regards,

Kumar Karan Jain

  • HI Kumar ,

    I would suggest reviewing the BLE overview section in the SW Developer's Guide. The two terms you want to look for are "Service Discovery" when you already have established a connection, and Device Discovery by Scanning. These are explained in the SDG.

    Regarding how to enable Advertising by key press, please look at the examples in the Keyfob & HIDEmuKbd example projects in the SDK.

    Best wishes
