I'm not able to compile the project as there few defines that are undefined, are the advertisement_init the only change? Can you send me your whole project?

Which example did you use? If possible can you send me your whole project and I will try reproduse it over here. If it is sensitive code I can make this a private case.

Also is there a reason you are using SDK7 instead of one of our newer SDKs?

I am sure that this is the problem. I tried it many times. If I switch off NRF51DK and leave it few hours, I will sometime can use recovery (nrfjprog --recover). I tried it on 3 different USB and even on different computer, but result is the same...There is not problem with USB, so DK is in Device Manager, but it doesn't mean, that Nordic chip is OK...I tried it even with short data (only 10 bytes) and everything was correct.........I know now, that setting short name and data length to 20 bytes cause error NRF_ERROR_DATA_SIZE, but it shouldn't be reason for total crash, but it happens...If you have this DK, you can try it yourself.

Hi,

I'm not sure if it is the longer advertisement data that is the reason you can't detect the DK. have you tried different COM ports? Can you find the device in Device Manager? Maybe try a different USB cable?
