Following your example I have made it working. Instead of creating array of ble_gap_addr_t, I create array of pointers to ble_gap_addr_tand now it works. Thank you.

I have updated my answer.

Parameters in the whitelist are copied form BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS events after bonding, so it seems that both came with addr_peer_id = 0.

The addr_peer_id parameter is not clear to me. The documentation says that it is 'Reference to peer in device identities list (as set with sd_ble_gap_device_identities_set) when peer is using privacy.' but in the structure it is one bit width. So, I assume that it is just a flag if the device is present in the device identities list. Is it correct?

BTW. I don't use identities list for now. I just wanted to use whitelist for filtering devices during scanning.

In whitelist, I see that both added devices have an addr_peer_id of '0', but I would assume that your devices should have different addr_peer_id's. Could you double check what their correct addr_peer_id is?

Update March 6th, 2017: When I test the below here, there is no error code when adding the whitelist. I have tested the code with a regular BLE project, not using pc_ble_driver. Could you test your whitelist code in a regular BLE example?

static void add_whitelist(void) 
{

uint32_t err_code;

ble_gap_addr_t  const *  whitelist[2];
ble_gap_addr_t addr_1 = {
			.addr_id_peer = 0,
			.addr_type    = 2,
			.addr         = {0xA2, 0xBD, 0x32, 0x40, 0x15, 0x47}
		};

ble_gap_addr_t addr_2 = {
			.addr_id_peer = 0,
			.addr_type    = 2,
			.addr         = {0x2E, 0xE7, 0x4B, 0x55, 0x8B, 0x43}
		};

whitelist[0] = &addr_1;
whitelist[1] = &addr_2;

err_code = sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set(whitelist,2);	
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
		
}
