BLE_UART example and manufacturer specific data issue (sdk15&15.1)

[Guochun]

I am new to Nordic and have a simple question. I followed the instructions about setting up manufacturer specific data with BLE_Template example here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial. It worked fine with the modified advertising_init() function. However, when I tried it with BLE_UART example, it did not work. It seemed to have an error code 0x0000000c. I didn't change anything of the examples, except the advertising_init() function. Can anyone repeat this and explain what might go wrong and how to make it work with BLE_UART example? Thanks.

It is defined as 

static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] = /**< Universally unique service identifier. */
{
{BLE_UUID_NUS_SERVICE, NUS_SERVICE_UUID_TYPE}
};

I have uploaded the zip file here. Thanks.

Hi.

I have looked at your code, and you still have to much advertising data. You can have maximum 31 bytes in your advertising data.

I suggest you put your manufacturer specific data in the scan response data by changing line 620 in your main.c file, this one:

init.advdata.p_manuf_specific_data = &manuf_data;

And change that line to this:

init.srdata.p_manuf_specific_data = &manuf_data;

That should do the trick and make the code work.
