hello to all,
I am trying to let BlueZ advertise on BLE with a name longer than 9
character. is this possible?
it seems to me that BlueZ uses the shortname to advertise over BLE.
Any suggestion?
How exactly are you trying to advertise? Btw, you should be able to
check what type we are using in the advertisement with use of btmon.
I tried to play with btmon but I wasn't able to find useful information
from it (probably I am not using it correctly..)
here is what I have done (BlueZ 5.41 - Digi Embedded Yocto 2.2-r3)
after starting the bluetoothd
btmgmt -i hci0 le on
btmgmt -i hci0 connectable on
btmgmt -i hci0 advertising on
btmgmt -i hci0 discov on
btmgmt -i hci0 name MyVeryLongNameThatExceedsNineCharacters
now, if I search for BLE devices from an adroid phone using the "nRF
Connct" (app from Nordic Semi for BLE tast) I can see my device shown
only with this name:
MyVeryLong (indeed they are 10 chars and not 9)
while if I do a "classic" ble scan from android I see it shown twice
both with the long and the short name.
Nevertheless the android app "nRF Connct" is able to get longer names
from devices not using BlueZ stack
is this a limit of BlueZ or there is something wrong on my setup?
