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?

Debug log: (no connection, UUID 0x22)

Sorry but this doesn't make any sense. Firstly GATT UUID is matter of stack so you should refer SoftDevice version (if you use Nordic Soft Device) and not SDK. Second all Nordic SD API work with 128-bit(16-byte) base (in the form of reference to table provisioned through Soft Device API earlier) and 16-bit (2-byte) "short" UUID. Could you be more precise what SDK example you use and what changes you made to the code? COuld you go back to generic example and verify that (indeed) all works fine?

thanks! I will try to get the sniffer logs.
