@Inspectron Yes that is all. but you should set the device name length. And if you want to display device name in the beacon mode, you must think about advertising data length.

thanks It works. The reason is from advertising packet size. Thanks John!

It would be helpful to know what the error code is that you are seeing. Without that I can speculate. First guess would be that you have exceeded the size allowed for the advertising packet and that is why you are getting the error. You can move some of your data into the scan response if that is the case.

I do find some of the in line comments where you are initializing your adv_manuf_data_data array intriguing. Things like UUIDs, and tx Power can be encoded into the standard advertising packet rather than in manufacturer specific data. Are you doing that to save space?
