CC2640R2F: How to start Directed Advertising with the CC2640R2-LP

Hi Chris,

This is quite easy. For starters, please start with the simplelink training on advertising:
dev.ti.com/.../

Best wishes

Zahid,

I have read all of the documentation relevant to the CC2640R2-Launch Pad in the TI Resource Explorer. The following table is presented:
PDUS Adv. Length Scan Rsp. Connectable
ADV_IND Used to send connectable undirected advertisement 31 bytes 31 bytes Yes
ADV_DIRECT_IND Used to send connectable directed advertisement N/A N/A Yes
ADV_SCAN_IND Used to send scannable undirected advertisement 31 bytes 31 bytes No
ADV_NONCONN_IND Used to send non-connectable undirected advertisement 31 bytes N/A No

However, no where in the documentation does it mention how change the PDU. Unless, you are referring to the filter policy, but this does not appear to be Directed advertising, simply because the Adv. Length is greater than 6 bytes.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

It is not directly mentioned how to do it, but here is the code example for direct advertising:

+ AdvertEnable = 0x01;
+ uint8 advEventType = GAP_ADTYPE_ADV_HDC_DIRECT_IND;

+ GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADV_EVENT_TYPE, sizeof(uint8), &advEventType);
+ GAPRole_SetParameter(GAPROLE_ADVERT_ENABLED, sizeof(uint8), &AdvertEnable);

Best wishes
