I am unable to get my UID. I am getting ID Namespace as 0X0000000000000000, ID Instance as 0X000000000000, Reserved as 0X0000. What else changes should be made?

Sure @plutok-oleg, I have edited my previous answer showing modifications I made.

I can confirm that this bug will be fixed in the next SDK release.

Hi @Gustavo, can you show how to configure the 2 slots - UID and TLM ?

Great that you figured it out! and thank you for adding the answer here. I will report this misleading name to the Eddystone developers. I have converted your comment into an answer and given you an up-vote.

Hi @sigurdon, I was using a function to update temperature and voltage values but advertising packet was not filled. Also, the name of the defines you mentioned (APP_CONFIG_TLM__INTERVAL_SECONDS) are misleading because the interval is not in seconds but in advertising tries instead. That works on the example because advertising interval is set to 1 second. This caused the delay in updating my variables values. BTW, I already successfully configured both slots, 0 and 1 to UID and TLM frame types, respectively. Should I close this question without an answer or should I convert this comment into answer?

EDIT (Solution):

I added this line to es_app_config.h:

#define APP_ENABLE_TLM_BY_DEFAULT    1    // Enable a TLM frame in slot 0 by default

and this to es_slot.c, after this conditional if (err_code == FDS_ERR_NOT_FOUND):

if (err_code == FDS_ERR_NOT_FOUND)
{
	// Factory reset or initial boot, load default data
	memcpy(&m_reg.slots[default_uid_slot], p_default_slot, sizeof(*p_default_slot));
	es_slot_reg_update_slot_list_info_on_add(&m_reg, default_uid_slot, p_default_slot->adv_frame.type, true);

#if APP_ENABLE_TLM_BY_DEFAULT == 1
    es_slot_reg_update_slot_list_info_on_add(&m_reg, default_tlm_slot, ES_FRAME_TYPE_TLM, true);
	m_reg.slots[default_tlm_slot].adv_frame.type = ES_FRAME_TYPE_TLM;
	memcpy(&m_reg.slots[default_tlm_slot].adv_frame.frame, &m_reg.slots[default_tlm_slot].adv_frame.type, 1);
	m_reg.slots[default_tlm_slot].adv_frame.length = ES_TLM_LENGTH;
#endif
}

Have you tried adjusting the values es_app_config.h. E.g:

#define APP_ETLM_DELAY_MS                      300    //!< The delay that is introduced between advertisement slots of type eTLM.
#define APP_CONFIG_TLM_TEMP_INTERVAL_SECONDS  (30)   //!< How often should the temperature of the beacon be updated when TLM slot is configured.
#define APP_CONFIG_TLM_VBATT_INTERVAL_SECONDS (30)  //!< How often should the battery voltage of the beacon be updated when TLM slot is configured.

In our custom app, we removed the configuration service but previously we tested the Eddystone example in our custom board and everything worked fine. We successfully configured up to 3 slots using "nRF Beacon for Eddystone" app. For this reason I guess that the issue could be related with a misconfiguration in the code we added for setting the 2nd slot as TLM frame type.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to configure more default slots than 1. You are only seeing the TLM frame issue on a custom board, but on the nRF52-DK everything works?

Could you try to configure the slots on the custom board using "nRF Beacon for Eddystone", and see if the issue is still present then ?
