Libraries

• :ref:`lib_ble_conn_params`:

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

  • Updated the :c:func:`ble_conn_params_phy_radio_mode_set` function to return :c:macro:`NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM` if the phy_pref parameter contains PHY modes not supported by the SoftDevice.

  • Fixed:

    • An issue where the :c:func:`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 :c:func:`ble_conn_params_phy_radio_mode_set` function was still in progress.
    • An issue where the SoftDevice define :c:macro:`BLE_GAP_PHYS_SUPPORTED` was used instead of the PHY preferences set with Kconfig when initiating or responding to a PHY update procedure.

• :ref:`lib_ble_adv` library:

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

• :ref:`lib_ble_scan` library:

  • Added:

    • Support for filtering by manufacturer-specific data using the :c:macro:`BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_FILTER` filter type.
    • The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_COUNT` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BLE_SCAN_MANUFACTURER_DATA_MAX_LEN` Kconfig options to configure the manufacturer data filter capacity and maximum payload length.

Bluetooth LE Services

• :ref:`lib_ble_scan`

  • Changed :c:member:`ble_scan_filter_data.addr_filter.addr` and :c:member:`ble_scan_filter_data.name_filter.name` to const in the :c:struct:`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 :ref:`radio_test` sample.

Bluetooth LE samples

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

  • :ref:`ug_dfu_firmware_loader` (Bluetooth LE)
  • :ref:`ble_lbs_sample`
  • :ref:`ble_nus_sample`
  • :ref:`ble_mcuboot_recovery_entry_sample`

• Removed the authentication status logging from the following samples and applications that do not support pairing (do not use the :ref:`lib_peer_manager` library):

  • :ref:`ug_dfu_firmware_loader` (Bluetooth LE)
  • :ref:`ble_lbs_sample`
  • :ref:`ble_nus_sample`
  • :ref:`ble_pwr_profiling_sample`
  • :ref:`ble_mcuboot_recovery_entry_sample`

• :ref:`ble_cgms_sample` sample:

  • Removed the call to the :c:func:`sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set` function from the main source file. The :ref:`lib_peer_manager` library takes care of calling this function when :ref:`lib_peer_manager` is used.

• :ref:`ble_hrs_sample` sample:

  • Removed redundant logging of authentication status from the main source file. Authentication status is logged by :ref:`lib_peer_manager` library.

• :ref:`ble_nus_central_sample` sample:

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

• :ref:`ble_hrs_central_sample` 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.
