Using nRF Connect android application, I'm getting incorrect advertise flags in bluetooth beacon using BlueZ I have tried on two bluez versions i.e 5.48 and 5.52. I have set ControllerMode to "le" in main.conf. Using bluetootctl, when I turn on the advertisement using command "advertise on", I get 0x02 advertisement flag. Which means "BR/EDR Not Supported" (Bit 2) is not set. Now, if i restart the bluetooth service, and turn on the advertisement again, I get 0x06 advertisement flags. Here is my main.conf [General]# Default adaper name # Defaults to 'BlueZ X.YZ' #Name = BlueZ# Default device class. Only the major and minor device class bits are # considered. Defaults to '0x000000'. Class = 0x000100# How long to stay in discoverable mode before going back to non-discoverable # The value is in seconds. Default is 180, i.e. 3 minutes. # 0 = disable timer, i.e. stay discoverable forever DiscoverableTimeout = 0# How long to stay in pairable mode before going back to non-discoverable # The value is in seconds. Default is 0. # 0 = disable timer, i.e. stay pairable forever #PairableTimeout = 0# Automatic connection for bonded devices driven by platform/user events. # If a platform plugin uses this mechanism, automatic connections will be # enabled during the interval defined below. Initially, this feature # intends to be used to establish connections to ATT channels. Default is 60. #AutoConnectTimeout = 60# Use vendor id source (assigner), vendor, product and version information for # DID profile support. The values are separated by ":" and assigner, VID, PID # and version. # Possible vendor id source values: bluetooth, usb (defaults to usb) #DeviceID = bluetooth:1234:5678:abcd# Do reverse service discovery for previously unknown devices that connect to # us. This option is really only needed for qualification since the BITE tester # doesn't like us doing reverse SDP for some test cases (though there could in # theory be other useful purposes for this too). Defaults to 'true'. #ReverseServiceDiscovery = true# Enable name resolving after inquiry. Set it to 'false' if you don't need # remote devices name and want shorter discovery cycle. Defaults to 'true'. #NameResolving = true# Enable runtime persistency of debug link keys. Default is false which # makes debug link keys valid only for the duration of the connection # that they were created for. #DebugKeys = false# Restricts all controllers to the specified transport. Default value # is "dual", i.e. both BR/EDR and LE enabled (when supported by the HW). # Possible values: "dual", "bredr", "le" ControllerMode = le# Enables Multi Profile Specification support. This allows to specify if # system supports only Multiple Profiles Single Device (MPSD) configuration # or both Multiple Profiles Single Device (MPSD) and Multiple Profiles Multiple # Devices (MPMD) configurations. # Possible values: "off", "single", "multiple" #MultiProfile = off# Permanently enables the Fast Connectable setting for adapters that # support it. When enabled other devices can connect faster to us, # however the tradeoff is increased power consumptions. This feature # will fully work only on kernel version 4.1 and newer. Defaults to # 'false'. #FastConnectable = false[Policy]# The ReconnectUUIDs defines the set of remote services that should try # to be reconnected to in case of a link loss (link supervision # timeout). The policy plugin should contain a sane set of values by # default, but this list can be overridden here. By setting the list to # empty the reconnection feature gets disabled. #ReconnectUUIDs=00001112-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000111f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000110a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb# ReconnectAttempts define the number of attempts to reconnect after a link # lost. Setting the value to 0 disables reconnecting feature. #ReconnectAttempts=7# ReconnectIntervals define the set of intervals in seconds to use in between # attempts. # If the number of attempts defined in ReconnectAttempts is bigger than the # set of intervals the last interval is repeated until the last attempt. #ReconnectIntervals=1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64# AutoEnable defines option to enable all controllers when they are found. # This includes adapters present on start as well as adapters that are plugged # in later on.
