BUG: BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED is never raised

[justin.brederveld]

By setting either:

ble_gap_adv_params_t::duration

or 

ble_gap_adv_params_t::max_adv_evts

to a non-zero value should trigger the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED event after specified time / events.

This results in a fatal crash on the connectivity board on my serialization project.

The setup is as follows:

• SDK 15.0.0
• SoftDevice S132 v6
• FreeRTOS 10
• Transport: SPI5W

The goal I am trying to achieve is to have rotating advertisement packets (similar to the Eddystone project).
The approach is as follows:

• initialize advertising parameters
• start advertising
  
  after some time
• stop advertising
• replace adv. parameters after a timeout event (based on timer)
• start advertising

And repeat this process.

Currently; this fails after 4 attempts; since app_ble_gap_adv_set_register uses a maximum of 4 m_adv_sets.

Can you elaborate on this issue?

Kind Regards,

Dear Justin,

I found the same problem today (sdk15-serialization-example-crashes), BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED is missing in ble_event_enc.c

#ifndef S112
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
            ret_val = ble_gap_evt_adv_report_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
            break;
#endif //!S112
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT:
            ret_val = ble_gap_evt_scan_req_report_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
            break;
				
		case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED:
			ret_val = ble_gap_evt_adv_set_terminated_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
			break;
			
			

And possibly also in your ble_event.c

#ifndef S112
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
            ret_val = ble_gap_evt_adv_report_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
            break;
#endif //!S112
        case BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT:
            ret_val = ble_gap_evt_scan_req_report_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
            break;
				
		case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED:
		ret_val = ble_gap_evt_adv_set_terminated_enc(p_event, event_len, p_buf, p_buf_len);
		break;

Kind Regards,
