Any way to get communication of any kind between two boards using this API?

Last week I asked this question and got the answer that it's not currently possible to use any SD other than S120/S130 with the BLE API.

I've spent the past week banging my head against the wall a bit trying to get these things to work with gcc.

Now I'm wondering if there's any chance of *any* kind of communication between two NRF51822 Mkit boards using this API without another device acting in a central role. Even if we can't establish any GATT connection between them, or even read the data that's being broadcast — can we even detect that another board is advertising/broadcasting?

I only need minimal amounts of communication between boards for this project so anything would help.

I made a program which can comunicate via UART function between two BLE nRF51822 device.

It's not so good but it works.
