Size of service UUID sdk12.3 (nrf51822) softdevice130

[akash]

Hi,

Is there a size limit for the vendor specific service UUID? It looks like it should be 16 bits but I can't set more than 4 bits in my code.

I am using the uart central exmaple code sdk12.3 (nrf51822). The ble service UUID (BLE_UUID_NUS_SERVICE) is set at 0x0001. I tried to change it to a different value 0x1485 and now the central device can't connect to peripheral. If I keep the UUID within 4 bits (eg: 0x008) it works. Is there somewhere the UUID size can be set?

Hi Martin,

It never disconnects or error out in either case. In the first case (when service UUID is > 4 bytes) central finds the peripheral service but never completes the device discovery but in the second example it does completes the device discovery (as you can see in the log). The system still stays healthy and functioning in both cases. No error. Somehow its not liking me setting UUID > 4 bytes.
