SDK 15.3.0: Restart Non-Connectable Advertising after Timeout

The objective is to have a device which constantly advertises some status information - this must be always visible to any Central in range.

The device may connect to at most one Central - but must continue to advertise the status information while connected.

So the device has 2 states:

  1. Not connected; doing Connectable advertising;
  2. Connected; doing Non-connectable advertising.

The information in the advertising doesn't change rapidly, so I use the Advertising Timeout as the point to update it; On the timeout event:

  1. Update the advertising data;
  2. Re-start the advertising.

This works fine for Connectable advertising, but not for Non-connectable.

I have tried the solution here, but it doesn't work:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/45644/how-do-i-simply-do-a-non-connectable-advert-on-nrf52-using-sdk-15/187363#187363

I suspect the problem is related to the fiddling with priorities.

So I started again from scratch,

I have attached my modified main.c from the SDK 15.3.0 'Template' example.

Also attached is ble_advertising.c, as I've added some extra logging - but no functional changes.

Here is the trace of a connection:

<debug> app: ADV: GAP Conn
<info> app: GAP Conn
<info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising; Handle 0
<debug> nrf_ble_gatt: Peer on connection 0x0 requested a data length of 27 bytes.

<debug> app: ADV: evt 35
<debug> nrf_ble_gatt: Data length updated to 27 on connection 0x0.

<debug> app: PHY upd req
<debug> app: ADV: evt 34
<debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd
<debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd
<debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd

I get the GAP Connect event, and the Non-connectable advertising starts OK.

But, when the Non-connectable advertising times out:

<info> app: Adv Tmo: Conn Hdl 0000; Adv Hdl 0; Mnf07
<info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising; Handle 0
<error> app: ERROR 7 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM] at main.c:780
PC at: 0x00031387
<error> app: End of error report

I get NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM at this point:

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_advertising.adv_handle,
                                            &m_advertising.adv_data,
                                            &adv_params);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

This is in non_connectable_advertising_start() - it worked fine to initially start the Non-connectable advertising, so why does it fail on re-starting it?

None of the parameters should have changed!

It is an unhelpful Error code as it give no help in identifying which parameter was invalid, nor how it was invalid. And, because it's an SD call, there's no way to step in to see where it's going wrong.

  • None of the parameters should have changed

    Oh - if only it were that simple!

    But no - the Advertising module has to mess with the settings!

    Thanks to  - who did a write-up on some of this:

    https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/37233/ble_advertising_init-returning-nrf_error_invalid_param-for-parameters-set-by-the-function-itself/145212#145212

    This pointed me to the fact that the Advertising Interval gets trashed:

    <info> app: Connectable advertising
    <info> app: Fast advertising.
    <debug> app: ADV: GAP Conn
    <info> app: GAP Conn
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising; Handle 0; interval 300
    <debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd
    <debug> app: ADV: Term
    <info> app: Adv Tmo: Conn Hdl 0000; Adv Hdl 0; Mnf01
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising; Handle 0; interval 0
    <error> app: ERROR 7 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM] at main.c:790
    PC at: 0x000313A1
    <error> app: End of error report
    

    Fixing that, the Non-connectable advertising would re-start once - but then never time out.

    Which suggested that the Advertising Duration was also getting trashed:

    <info> app: Connectable advertising
    <info> app: Fast advertising.
    <debug> app: ADV: GAP Conn
    <info> app: GAP Conn
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising: Hdl 0; Int 300; Dur 3000
    <debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd
    <debug> app: ADV: Term
    <info> app: Adv Tmo: Conn Hdl 0000; Adv Hdl 0; Mnf01
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising: Hdl 0; Int 0; Dur 0
    <error> app: ERROR 7 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM] at main.c:781
    PC at: 0x00031397
    <error> app: End of error report
    

    But fixing that just led to a different error:

    <info> app: Connectable advertising
    <info> app: Fast advertising.
    <debug> app: ADV: GAP Conn
    <info> app: GAP Conn
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising: Hdl 0; Int 300; Dur 3000
    <debug> app: ADV: Conn Parm Upd
    <debug> app: ADV: Term
    <info> app: Adv Tmo: Conn Hdl 0000; Adv Hdl 0; Mnf01
    <info> app: Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising: Hdl 0; Int 0; Dur 0
    <debug> app: ADV_SET_TERMINATED: start result 0
    <info> app: ADV_SET_TERM.
    <debug> app: ADV: Term
    <debug> app: ADV_SET_TERMINATED: start result 18
    <info> app: ADV_SET_TERM.
    

    The "ADV_SET_TERMINATED: start result 18" comes from on_terminated() in ble_advertising.c:

    static void on_terminated(ble_advertising_t * const p_advertising, ble_evt_t const * p_ble_evt)
    {
        ret_code_t ret;
    
        if (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id != BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED)
        {
            // Nothing to do.
            NRF_LOG_DEBUG( "!ADV_SET_TERMINATED" );
            return;
        }
    
        if (  p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_set_terminated.reason == BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED_REASON_TIMEOUT
            ||p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_set_terminated.reason == BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_SET_TERMINATED_REASON_LIMIT_REACHED)
        {
            // Start advertising in the next mode.
            ret = ble_advertising_start(p_advertising, adv_mode_next_get(p_advertising->adv_mode_current));
    
            NRF_LOG_DEBUG( "ADV_SET_TERMINATED: start result %d", ret );   // <<<< HERE !!
    
            if ((ret != NRF_SUCCESS) && (p_advertising->error_handler != NULL))
            {
                p_advertising->error_handler(ret);
            }
        }
    }

    The 18 is NRF_ERROR_CONN_COUNT: so the Advertising module has trashed the setting to do Non-connectable advertising - and, instead, is trying to start Connectable advertising!!

    So my final solution is:

    static void non_connectable_advertising_start(void)
    {
        uint32_t    err_code;
        ble_gap_adv_params_t  adv_params;
    
        memcpy(&adv_params, &m_advertising.adv_params, sizeof(adv_params));
    
    #if 0
        NRF_LOG_INFO( "Non-connectable, Scannable advertising" );
        adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_NONCONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;
    #else
        NRF_LOG_INFO( "Non-connectable, Non-scannable advertising: Hdl %d; Int %d; Dur %d", m_advertising.adv_handle, m_advertising.adv_params.interval, m_advertising.adv_params.duration );
        adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_NONCONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;
    #endif
    
        // Restore parameters which get trashed by the Advertising module
        adv_params.duration = APP_ADV_DURATION;
        adv_params.interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    
        // Don't let the Advertising module think it's got somewhere else in its advertising sequence
        m_advertising.adv_mode_current = BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST;
    
        err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_advertising.adv_handle,
                                                &m_advertising.adv_data,
                                                &adv_params);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    
        err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_start(m_advertising.adv_handle, m_advertising.conn_cfg_tag);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    }

  • my final solution

    I guess the real solution is to just not use the Advertising module at all.

    It's fine when it works but, when you want to do something a little different, it's an absolute pain in the behind!

    Disappointed

    The trouble is, there are now no examples of how to do advertising "manually", and the Advertising module obfuscates it all so much that it's hard to pull the relevant details out.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    The trouble is, there are now no examples of how to do advertising "manually", and the Advertising module obfuscates it all so much that it's hard to pull the relevant details out.

    The ble_app_beacon and ble_app_blinky examples does not use the advertising module.
