Device reset when calling sd_ble_uuid_vs_add second time

[George Leung]

I am using nRF5_SDK_11.0.0-2.alpha_bc3f6a0 with PCA10040 and GCC. I am working on the ble hrs with DFU example. I have modify the hrs to my custom service with a 128bit service UUID. I have call sd_ble_uuid_vs_add 2 times, first one is for my custom service init and the second one is in ble_dfu_init. On the second time, it will return NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM and cause the device reset. If I do not include the DFU service or do not include my custom service, it will working fine. Is there any solution for that?

ble_hrs.c

ble_hrs.h

I found the cause: In ble_stack_init, the default ble_enable_params are set using softdevice_enable_get_default_config. If you go to the definition, you'll see that

p_ble_enable_params->common_enable_params.vs_uuid_count   = 1;

With this configuration you can only add one vendor specific UUID to the BLE stack's UUID table. However, if you set .vs_uuid_count to 2, i.e.

p_ble_enable_params->common_enable_params.vs_uuid_count   = 2;

you can add two vendor specific UUIDs to the table,i.e. your custom UUID and the DFU service UUID base.

this solve the problem, thank you very much

Hi, same problem is also got to me, by changing the p_ble_enable_params->common_enable_params.vs_uuid_count = 2 two 128 bit uuid services are added successfully but I got the problem with pstorage module when increase p_ble_enable_params->common_enable_params.vs_uuid_count more than 1. That is when I write the data to pstorage using pstroae_store() it gives NRF_SUCESS returns but after if I checked is their any pending operations by using pstorage_access_status_get() it always gives 1 always. If I take p_ble_enable_params->common_enable_params.vs_uuid_count = 1; then these problem is not rising i.e it gives pending operations 0. what is the relation b/w pstorage and vs_uuid_count. Can any one help me to solve these problem. The code I am using is

pstorage_clear(&m_pstorage_handle,44);

pstorage_store(&m_pstorage_handle,(uint8_t *)uart_data,44);

uint_32 pending_ops;

pstorage_access_status_get(&pending_ops);

while(pending_ops != 0) { pstorage_access_status_get(&pending_ops); }

@jacknonin: Does softdevice_enable return an error code? If so, which error code and which function call inside softdevice_enable returns the error code?

[jack.nonin]

@Bjorn: softdevice_enable > sd_ble_enable returns an error code with a value of 4, which I believe is NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM

[bjorn-spockeli]

NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM suggests that your RAM configuration is incorrect. Please make sure that the RAM address in your project corresponds to app_ram_base returned by sd_ble_enable called in softdevice_enble, i.e.

err_code = sd_ble_enable(p_ble_enable_params, &app_ram_base);
