CC2650: Infinite discovery scan

Olivia

Part Number: CC2650

I am working on an application that scans (simple observer) a large number of broadcaster advertisements at the same time and I am trying to develop a way to make the discovery period infinite so that the device constantly scans. Is there an easy way to do this? The application only receives the message and forwards the data to a computer to process. The SDK is simplelink ble-stack 2.2.2 and BLE 4.2 and I am developing in CCS v7.

I saw mention in the developers guide that if the scan res was set to 0 that would mean there was no limit on the number of broadcasters advertisements that could be received. But another post said that this was false and should have been corrected.

    Olivia,

    If you set your scan duration to 0, it will scan indefinitely I believe until the device fills the max scan response. You would then need to clear the scan response report and restart scanning to scan indefinitely again. Similar to this: https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/f/538/t/667946?CC2640R2F-Q1-Observer-Continuous-scan-for-iBeacon-s

    Thanks Evan, 

    Is there any way to check when the device has reached the max scan response and to clear it immediately so it can continue scanning?
