NXP FRDM KW36 Link Layer

[kaviya]

Hi

I am developing BLE 5.0 Link Layer packet generation and analysis. I want to verify my generation and analysis with some evaluation kit . can we configure NXP FRDM KW36 to transmit different Link Layer Packets like ADV_IND, ADV_EXT_IND....?

Hi @,

Different Link Layer packets can be configured; as an example, you can refer to project "temp_coll" under wireless_examples and bluetooth. Here, you can change the parameters in "gScanParameters" and change the type to the packet to send.

You can find them defined in "ble_general.h";

• gBleAdvRepAdvInd_c (ADV_IND)
• gBleAdvRepAdvDirectInd_c (ADV_DIRECT_IND)
• …

Unfortunately, the Advertising Extensions (ADV_EXT_IND) BLE 5 Optional Errata is not implemented for the KW36 Family of MCUs. Ir is, however, implimented in the KW38 family.

There's also some documentation on enabling the advertising extensions on the KW38's SDK examples, here.

I hope you find this helpful!

Best regards, Julián
