Hi,
One of our peripherals advertises every 300-500ms. We modified the
code to continuously increment a manufacturer data value and verified
on an Android phone that we see the value increment every 300-1000ms.
However we only see updates every 5-15 seconds when we issue a scan
with bluez service via bluetoothctl or dbus API (even with duplicates
off and setting transport to BLE only with SetDiscoveryFilter. The
same rate occurs when tracing with btmon.
We tried setting window and interval parameters with hciconfig and
btmgmt, but none seem to have any effect. When scan is started the
bluetoothd service sets its own scan parameters (see trace below),
which are even more aggressive than what we are looking for, but
obviously there is something that we don't understand.
How can we receive more results per second from BlueZ service?
Thanks,
Nik
