sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure No Memory for operation

[BartoszT]

Hi all,

Im working with CODED PHY (Long Range). There was no settings for primary and secondary channel so I added it like below. The previous solution worked with BLE_GAP_PHY_AUTO it means BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS as default.

I added the piece of configuration. Before there was only timing related configuration, nothing more and it works fine

nrfAdvertisementParameters.secondary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED;
nrfAdvertisementParameters.primary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED;
nrfAdvertisementParameters.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;
nrfAdvertisementParameters.filter_policy = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY;

Now Im getting the error: "No Memory for operation". 

#define NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM                      (NRF_ERROR_BASE_NUM + 4)  ///< No Memory for operation

Below there is printscreen for debug session. Adv_data and scan_respo_data has a length of 31.

Should I increase the RAM amount for SoftDevice or it is other issue?

I Changed only advertising parameter with no changes for data packets.

Hi,

Do you allready have an existing advertising set? While the API gives the impression multiple sets are supported, that is not the case. So if you try to configure a new set, you will get NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM returned from sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure. This is a limitation in the SoftDevice, and allocating more memory to the SoftDevice will not help.

I added messages via the serial port. This way I don't have to run the code in debug mode. I got my answer. Working with the debugger causes an out of memory error. I do not know why. SofdDevice functions run only once. Currently I have a problem with error code 0x07 NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM but despite this error the BLE device works according to the parameters.
