Libraries

• Bluetooth: Connection Parameters:

  • Added:

    • Support for selecting more than one PHY mode (1M, 2M, and Coded) when setting the PHY mode preference with Kconfig.

    • Support for the BLE_GAP_EVT_CONN_PARAM_UPDATE_REQUEST SoftDevice event.

  • Updated the ble_conn_params_phy_radio_mode_set() function to return NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM if the phy_pref parameter contains PHY modes not supported by the SoftDevice.

  • Updated the ble_conn_params_override() function to allow runtime overrides of the acceptable connection parameter window used when validating peripheral requests to change the connection parameters. Previously, this window was set statically by Kconfig options and was not possible to override at runtime.

  • Fixed:

    • An issue where the ble_conn_params_phy_radio_mode_get() function would incorrectly return the PHY mode mask of a pending update rather than the currently active PHY mode if a PHY update initiated by the ble_conn_params_phy_radio_mode_set() function was still in progress.

    • An issue where the SoftDevice define BLE_GAP_PHYS_SUPPORTED was used instead of the PHY preferences set with Kconfig when initiating or responding to a PHY update procedure.

• Bluetooth: Advertising library library:

  • Added the ble_adv_data_manufacturer_data_find() function to locate manufacturer-specific data in an advertising payload and prefix-match it against a target value.

• Bluetooth: Scan library:

  • Added:

    • Support for filtering by manufacturer-specific data using the BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_FILTER filter type.

    • The CONFIG_BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_COUNT and CONFIG_BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_MAX_LEN Kconfig options to configure the manufacturer data filter capacity and maximum payload length.

Bluetooth LE Services

• Bluetooth: Scan

  • Changed ble_scan_filter_data.addr_filter.addr and ble_scan_filter_data.name_filter.name to const in the ble_scan_filter_data structure.

Libraries for NFC

No changes since the latest nRF Connect SDK Bare Metal release.

Utils

No changes since the latest nRF Connect SDK Bare Metal release.

Samples

Peripheral samples

• Added the Radio test sample.

Bluetooth LE samples

• Updated the following samples and applications that do not support pairing to call the sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set() function only in response to the BLE_GATTS_EVT_SYS_ATTR_MISSING event and not as a response to a BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED event:

  • Firmware loader (Bluetooth LE)

  • Bluetooth: LED Button Service

  • Bluetooth: Nordic UART Service (NUS)

  • MCUboot: Recovery entry

• Removed the authentication status logging from the following samples and applications that do not support pairing (do not use the Bluetooth: Peer Manager library):

  • Firmware loader (Bluetooth LE)

  • Bluetooth: LED Button Service

  • Bluetooth: Nordic UART Service (NUS)

  • Bluetooth: Power Profiling

  • MCUboot: Recovery entry

• Bluetooth: Continuous Glucose Monitoring Service sample:

  • Removed the call to the sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set() function from the main source file. The Bluetooth: Peer Manager library takes care of calling this function when Bluetooth: Peer Manager is used.

• Bluetooth: Heart Rate Service sample:

  • Removed redundant logging of authentication status from the main source file. Authentication status is logged by Bluetooth: Peer Manager library.

• Bluetooth: Nordic UART Service Central sample:

  • Fixed the disconnect button handler to only disconnect on button press, and not on button release.

• Bluetooth: Heart Rate Service Central sample:

  • Fixed:

    • The disconnect button handler to only disconnect on button press, and not on button release.

    • The allow list disabling button to only trigger on button press, and not on button release.
