You do not need to advertise any name for your device to be connectable, the connection is initated using the BLE address. You only need to change the GAP advertising type.

karthikeyan — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 13:01:43 GMT

hi jorgen, finally i got it set, now it is working. thanks for spending time to me. i need a clarification. i need to change the name and want to make it connectable.

advdata.name_type = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;

m_adv_params.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_IND; m_adv_params.p_peer_addr = NULL; // Undirected advertisement. m_adv_params.fp = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY; m_adv_params.interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL; m_adv_params.timeout = 0; // Never time out.

i made these changes and also defined my device name too. is this enough or i want to do anything else

I don't understand your last comment. What file are you opening with the softdevice? Where are you getting errors in softdevice handler?

karthikeyan — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 04:16:39 GMT

hi jorgen, if i open the same file with soft device s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-2.alpha_softdevice.hex i am getting errors in softdevice_handler.c and .h file. those files are read only. so i cant modify anything. i dont know why i get these issues. where as ble_app_uart is working fine and i have done neccessary modification for my application. it is still working fine. why the issue is in this file

Jørgen Holmefjord — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 08:42:25 GMT

I have tested the example multiple times now, and don't see any issues. Plesae try debugging, to see if any functions return non-zero error codes. If this don't work, you should try flashing the hex file found in the zip package as well, to rule out any SDK/compilation issues. The file ble_app_beacon_pca10056_s140.hex contains both application and softdevice.

Jørgen Holmefjord — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 14:29:04 GMT

Have you tried power cycling the board after programming? Are you using Keil or GCC compiler?

karthikeyan — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 12:32:55 GMT

dear jorgen, i have downloaded this file ble_app_beacon_pca10056_SDK141_Keil5_GCC.zip from your post and my soft device is s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-2.alpha_softdevice.hex`still the same problem. program is compiling without error but LED1 is not blinking. sorry for interrupting you all the time.

hi jorgen, where is the zip file. i didnt saw any zip file in your previous comment

Seems like there was some error in the Keil project in the zip I uploaded. I have uploaded a new version now. Please try this out. I also included a hex file that you can test if you do not get the Keil project to run.

hi jorgen,

the LED1 is not blinking.

Jørgen Holmefjord — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 11:46:31 GMT

Is LED1 on the nRF52840 PDK blinking? Note that the board will not advertise any name, it will only show in nRF Connect app as "N/A (nRF Beacon)".

hi jorgen,

this time ble_app_beacon from your zip file is compiling without any error. but i cant find my device in nrf connect app

Looks like you were missing some header files. Great that you got it working. Please let me know if you have any more issues.

hi jorgen, thanks for your responses for my questions. i have deleted sdk 14.1 and re installed it. now the ble_app_uart example is working fine. i will check you ble_app_beacon and let you know.

really i am having lot of trouble with my dk. except blinky example no other examples from sdk 14.0 is working. As per starting guide i have programmed my softdevice to my dk using nRF go studio. but its not working. for example i have used ble_app_uart example. it is also not working. i dont know what is the problem. i had downloaded termite app to my pc and having nrf tool box app in android. really i had stuck in this dk. please help me to over come this.
