BLE_ERROR_GATTS_SYS_ATTR_MISSING error upon transmission attempt in keyboard example

[405nm]

Hello,

Been posting a few threads lately on my attempt to get the ble_app_hids_keyboard example to work on PCA10003.

I've gotten the files to compile using Eclipse on OS X. However, nothing happens when I short the button GPIO to ground. I spent some time debugging with LEDs, and have found that after a valid button press is registered, the softdevice returns BLE_ERROR_GATTS_SYS_ATTR_MISSING when the key press is actually being sent.

The source code suggests making sure to call sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_set in the case of this error. I have found this function used only once in this project; in the device_manager_peripheral.c file. When I go to this file, the static function definitions are highlighted as syntax errors, as if this file wasn't "connected" to the rest of the project.

I kind of had to do some hacking to get this toolchain set up on eclipse...is it possible that my build is configured incorrectly somehow? I am using the source code straight from the Nordic SDK with minimal modification (just changing button/pin assignments).

Thanks again for the support!

I contacted Nordic tech support and they discovered that it was an error in their source code.

Actually, this is an issue from our side. The app_button library has been changed, specifically in function app_button_is_pushed(). It now takes in the app_button instance (ie: the buttons[x] instance instead of the GPIO number). I have reported this internally, and I'm attaching an example that works for the PCA10001/PCA10003 (identical boards, just nRF51422/nRF51822 mounted)

Here's the main.c that they sent me which works for the PCA10001/PCA10003.
