Dear all, thank you for your notice. I had solved this issue, using "uint32_t APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS=20" is OK. The issue is my bootloader get some problem after I modifying this definition. And that's why I can't enter main(). The code running well after removing bootloader. FYR.

Hi Frank,

Could you upload or post your code here ?

of course it's possible to make the advertising timeout a variable. Personally I wouldn't name it the same as the old #define because that's just asking for trouble, but a trivial modification like this should take all of 5 seconds. It's really impossible to even start to guess what you might be doing wrong, do you have any C coding experience?

Yes，if I change the definition back, it works normally. And I just want to know that it is possible to make APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS to be a variable parameter. I have try many method but fail.

Does it work if you change it back to #define APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS 20 ?

That sounds strange, I would bet it either won't compile/link/load to the chip or it runs at least through start-up code up to your initial calls in main().

The compiler process is OK. Get in debug mode. The failure is that the process didn't run main() after modify APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS to uint32_t.

Be more specific about "but it fails". What are the changes to some baseline example project (and which you use)? What error code and where you get? Or how do you detect the failure?
