How can I update advertising data without restarting advertising process ?

[Nijat]

Currently, if I want to update the advertising data, firstly, I use sd_ble_gap_adv_stop, then update the advertising data with ble_advdata_service_data_t, then advertising_init, at the end, ble_advertising_start.

Is it possible update the advertising data without restarting advertising ?

I found sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set, but ble_advdata_service_data_t is defined as:

/**@brief Service data structure. */
typedef struct
{
    uint16_t                     service_uuid;                        /**< Service UUID. */
    uint8_array_t                data;                                /**< Additional service data. */
} ble_advdata_service_data_t;

And sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set

uint32_t sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set	(	uint8_t const * 	p_data,
                                    uint8_t 	dlen,
                                    uint8_t const * 	p_sr_data,
                                    uint8_t 	srdlen 
                                    )

They are a little different, I don't know how to use.

Any suggestion guys !?

Thanks.

It is not necessary to stop advertising when updating the advertising data. 

The easiest way to update the advertising data is to call ble_adv_data_set() in ble_advertising.h/.c.

I got it working by calling 

ret_code_t err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set(NULL, 0, sr_data, sizeof(sr_data));

whenever the scan response data needed updating, where I managed the layout of the data within array sr_data.

p_sr_data is the scanned data, right ?

And p_data is the advertising data.

The p_data can be uint8_array_t type ? Is it an array ?

Also, the sr_data is Encoded Data ?
