The Advertising Module is not used in the ble_app_blinky example:

Probably also the Peer Manager, which also brings in FDS - and that seems to be quite "un-light" ... ;)

I would suggest that you open the two projects and check which ble modules is included in the template project that is not included in the blinky project.

Finally, I restart the firmware development from the project Ble_App_Blinky.

This example is more "light" (43kB without optimization for size), and suitable for what I want to do. Moreover, in this example, the LBS service is an custom UUID, so I can change easily to mine.

I just regret the fact there is not enough explaination or documentation on Ble_App_Template project, because I can not see what is the difference between this 2 projects on BLE management, and what is missing on Ble_App_Blinky example.

I would strongly recommend that you do not start a design on the nRF52810.

It is specifically a cut-down, low-memory part.

Start with an nRF52832 - then, when your project is working, you can think about optimising it down to an nRF52810.

As the old saying goes, "Premature optimisation is a root of all kinds of evils"

Ok, but my problem still remain. I cant start a project with all my flash occupied.

In this example, is there any documentation of what are the basics for a BLE connection, and a description of the extras, in order to know what I can delete to save some space.

The Template is not "light"!

It contains everything you need plus some extras for a full BLE application.
