Advertising doesn't change name after code update

Greetings,

I've been developing a DFU firmware that should update the device through Android. The thing is, the device works, but I changed the advertising name, and it still shows the old name when I try to update the device. I use the following function to update the name:

static void make_dev_name(void)
{
    ble_gap_addr_t device_address;
    uint8_t companyName[] = {"M"};
    uint8_t modelName[] = {"1"};
    uint8_t *macAddressName;
    uint8_t macTmp[12];

    sd_ble_gap_addr_get(&device_address);
    macAddressName = Convert_Hex_To_Ascii(&device_address.addr[0], 4);
    memcpy(&DEVICE_NAME[0], companyName, 1);
    memcpy(&DEVICE_NAME[1], modelName, 1);
    memcpy(&DEVICE_NAME[2], macAddressName, 12);

}

Any idea why this issue occurs?

I used reference from here;

  • Hello,

    When is make_dev_name() called, is it only on startup, or are you sending a command over BLE to update the name? 

    Best regards,

  • Thanks for confirming. But I can't tell from the snippet you posted where DEVICE_NAME is referenced. Could you post your main.c file here?

  • Device name is referenced as uint8_t array

  • Thanks for sharing the code. But I'm not seeing any obvious errors in this implementation. Does the device advertise with the expected name if you load the application FW with your debugger? Also, are you sure the previous device name has not been cached by your phone?
