I try the method with application timer that call to sd_ble_gap_adv_start, but after one day of job the system go in tilt, and the advertising shut down. the current consumption increases dramatically and this decay my coin cell battery. my start code is this github.com/.../nrf51-ble-app-temp

where i change

#define ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS          5
#define ADV_INTERVAL_IN_MS              10000

and add the call at new timer. i remove the old timer with the advdata_udate

How many power consumption your need (your limited)? you may just need to use the adv. start/stop with a timer, and don't need to reset your device.

Or, reference our RTOS framework with tickless technology: github.com/.../nano51822

I understand that the limitation of the advertising interval to 0x4000 (10.24 seconds) means you can't just set the interval to 30 seconds. However, you could have the advertising timeout like you do, but have a 30 second application timer that would trigger another call to sd_ble_gap_adv_start for you. Then you could avoid the forced reset.

Take a look at the timer library documentation in the SDK documentation, it is in the Libraries section. Also look at app_timer.c.
