Flash Data Storage - initializer element is not constan

[trice8]

Hi,

i am trying to save data with the flash data storage module. Using this code (infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp from infocenter erverything works fine. But when i want to store my own value i get an "initializer element is not constant" error. The only thing i am changing is replacing

static uint32_t const m_deadbeef = 0xDEADBEEF;

with my own variable:

static uint32_t const m_deadbeef = (uint32_t)my_own_data;

my_own_data is defined outside the write function and populated during runtime. I am using "nRF5 SDK v13.0.0" with softdevice 132.

Any ideas? Thank you.

How is my_own_data defined?

Update: When writing data, it is record_chunk.p_data that needs the data. The easiest is to assign my_own_data directly to p_data:

record_chunk.p_data         = &my_own_data;

It's defined as:

uint8_t my_own_data;

in my .c file.
