Extended Advertising on NRF52832

Question

Hi 
 
 Using SD Version 6.1.1 and NRF Version 15.3.0. 
 
 Using the following advertising params I can set non-extended advertising 
 ble_gap_adv_params_t advertisingParameters; 
 advertisingParameters.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_CONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED; // GAP Advertising type 
 using 
 sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_adv_handle, &m_adv_data, &advertisingParams); 
 
 As soon I change to 
 advertisingParameters.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED 
 
 I get an error NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM from the Softdevice is there a step I am missing here to use Bluetooth 5

There's more to the initialization function. More specifically you are probably calling sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure() in the end to configure the advertising paramters. 
 Anyways, here's an example I tested with here, and is working with extended advertising: 
 static void extended_adv_init(void)
{
 memset(&m_adv_params, 0, sizeof(m_adv_params));
 //m_adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_CONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;
 m_adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;
 m_adv_params.p_peer_addr = NULL;
 m_adv_params.duration = BLE_GAP_ADV_TIMEOUT_GENERAL_UNLIMITED;
 m_adv_params.interval = 0x40;
 m_adv_params.primary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_AUTO;
 m_adv_params.secondary_phy = BLE_GAP_PHY_AUTO;
 m_adv_params.set_id = 4;
 m_adv_params.filter_policy = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY;
}

static void advertising_init(void)
{
 ret_code_t err_code;
 ble_advdata_t advdata;
 ble_advdata_manuf_data_t manuf_data;

 memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));

 manuf_data.company_identifier = COMPANY_IDENTIFIER;
 manuf_data.data.size = ADV_ADDL_MANUF_DATA_LEN;
 manuf_data.data.p_data = m_addl_adv_manuf_data;

 advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
 advdata.p_manuf_specific_data = &manuf_data;

 err_code = ble_advdata_encode(&advdata, m_adv_data.adv_data.p_data, &m_adv_data.adv_data.len);
 APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

 err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_adv_handle, &m_adv_data, &m_adv_params);
 APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
