RE: if i disconnect slave a, slave b will auto disconnect also, and later slave b connect again.

Please answer the question regarding on how you disconnect the slave ?
Please post the code where you handle BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED.

I assume you have 4 different m_conn_handle ?

On slave B, which disconnect reason do you get ?

A sniffer trace on slave B connection could be useful to see why it get disconnected.

i define more instance

BLE_NUS_C_DEF(m_ble_nus_c); /**< BLE NUS service client instance. */
BLE_NUS_C_DEF(m_ble_nus_c1);
BLE_NUS_C_DEF(m_ble_nus_c2);

BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_DEF(m_db_disc);
BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_DEF(m_db_disc1);
BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_DEF(m_db_disc2);
BLE_DB_DISCOVERY_DEF(m_db_disc3);

in function static void ble_evt_handler(ble_evt_t const * p_ble_evt, void * p_context)

i add the following code

if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 0)
{
err_code = ble_nus_c_handles_assign(&m_ble_nus_c, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 1)
{
err_code = ble_nus_c_handles_assign(&m_ble_nus_c1, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 2)

err_code = ble_nus_c_handles_assign(&m_ble_nus_c2, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 3)
{
err_code = ble_nus_c_handles_assign(&m_ble_nus_c3, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 0)
{
err_code = ble_db_discovery_start(&m_db_disc, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle == 1)
{
err_code = ble_db_discovery_start(&m_db_disc1, p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.conn_handle);

}

}
err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

if (ble_conn_state_n_centrals() == NRF_SDH_BLE_CENTRAL_LINK_COUNT)
{

}
else
{

Hi Lyman,

As far as I know the ble_app_uart_c only connect to one board at a time. Did you modify the code to connect to multiple server ?

Have you made sure you used the correct conn_handle when dealing with multiple servers/slaves ?

How did you disconnect slave a ?
