Why can't you put the ble code in another C file?

[Bndit]

I am trying to take the ble_uart code and encapsulate it , so I took all the code and put it into another C file I made.

Then from the main.c program I call a function in this new C file to start the bluetooth.

It compiles and run but will not even log that it started/nor it will advertise . Why is that ?

Please see the attached project file

My main.c file

#include "Bluetooth.h"

 
 
static void log_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t err_code = NRF_LOG_INIT(NULL);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}


 static void power_manage(void)
{
    uint32_t err_code = sd_app_evt_wait();
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}


 
int main(void)
{

    log_init();
    NRF_LOG_INFO("Setting up ble\r\n"); // will not print

    setupBluetooth();
         

    for (;;)
    {
        power_manage();
    }
   
}

My bluetooth C file, which does exactly what the main.c was doing only in another c file function:

#include "Bluetooth.h"




     void setupBluetooth()
    {
    
       
         uart_init();
         uint32_t err_code;
         bool     erase_bonds;
    
        // Initialize.
        err_code = app_timer_init();
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    
        uart_init();
    
        buttons_leds_init(&erase_bonds);
        ble_stack_init();
        gap_params_init();
        gatt_init();
        services_init();
        advertising_init();
        conn_params_init();
    
     
     
        err_code = ble_advertising_start(BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    
    
     
    }
    
    
    // Here goes all the ble_uart static functions that where in the main, (they declared in .h also)

You are doing something wrong in your project. Of course it is possible to encapsulate functions to separate files... You should upload your project if you want someone to check it.

This project is a complete mess. Why do you put static function declaration in h file? why do you put static variable INITIALIZATION (not only declarations) in h files? You should only put non-static functions declarations and public defines in header file... variables should be initialized in c file. I did not try flashing that yet, but that does not look as something that may work.
