sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() never returns.

[AndersE]

Hi, I'm using the S110 v8.0 on a nrf51422 together with our own scheduler with a few lines left from SDK v8.1.

I'm sending out advertising containing some extra data and it works well. I can update the data in the advertising message on the fly, but when I try to turn off the advertising using sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() the function call never comes back from the SoftDevice.

Is this a known issue or am I using the commands wrong?

The code is still running but something in the SoftDevice will not end and return an answer to the application.

could this be a hard fault? Are you perhaps calling the SD function from a higher priority than the SVC one? If you are calling it from APP_HIGH then this could be the issue

[AndersE]

I can trace the code running around inside the SoftDevice, so something is happening but not the right thing to get it to return. There are no interrupts involved at all in this call.

[Carles]

Can you edit your original post with the SD and SDK versions?

[Carles]

So you're saying that the call to adv_stop() is being made from Thread Mode (aka main()) ?

[AndersE]

yes, as a function call.
