Adding Service Data to Beacon Advertising

Dear All,

I thought i wrote this question but seems it did not get registered. We are using the Beacon App from sdk 12.3 with the nrf51822 chip on custom board.  I have been able to successfully run the beacon app.. I tried now to add service data to the advertising packer but the BLE crashes.. I know it crashes as the Led doesnt blink and no advertising packets are recieved. I tried debugging it with keil , but i can not see any errors . 

below is the code:-

static void advertising_init(void)
{
uint32_t err_code;
ble_advdata_t advdata;
uint8_t flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_BR_EDR_NOT_SUPPORTED;

ble_advdata_manuf_data_t manuf_specific_data;
ble_advdata_service_data_t service_data;

manuf_specific_data.company_identifier = APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER;

#if defined(USE_UICR_FOR_MAJ_MIN_VALUES)
// If USE_UICR_FOR_MAJ_MIN_VALUES is defined, the major and minor values will be read from the
// UICR instead of using the default values. The major and minor values obtained from the UICR
// are encoded into advertising data in big endian order (MSB First).
// To set the UICR used by this example to a desired value, write to the address 0x10001080
// using the nrfjprog tool. The command to be used is as follows.
// nrfjprog --snr <Segger-chip-Serial-Number> --memwr 0x10001080 --val <your major/minor value>
// For example, for a major value and minor value of 0xabcd and 0x0102 respectively, the
// the following command should be used.
// nrfjprog --snr <Segger-chip-Serial-Number> --memwr 0x10001080 --val 0xabcd0102
uint16_t major_value = ((*(uint32_t *)UICR_ADDRESS) & 0xFFFF0000) >> 16;
uint16_t minor_value = ((*(uint32_t *)UICR_ADDRESS) & 0x0000FFFF);

uint8_t index = MAJ_VAL_OFFSET_IN_BEACON_INFO;

m_beacon_info[index++] = MSB_16(major_value);
m_beacon_info[index++] = LSB_16(major_value);

m_beacon_info[index++] = MSB_16(minor_value);
m_beacon_info[index++] = LSB_16(minor_value);
#endif

manuf_specific_data.data.p_data = (uint8_t *) m_beacon_info;
manuf_specific_data.data.size = APP_BEACON_INFO_LENGTH;

service_data.service_uuid=BLE_UUID_HUMAN_INTERFACE_DEVICE_SERVICE;
service_data.data.p_data[0]=0xBA;
service_data.data.size=1;

// Build and set advertising data.
memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));

advdata.name_type = BLE_ADVDATA_NO_NAME;
advdata.flags = flags;
advdata.p_manuf_specific_data = &manuf_specific_data;



advdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids = m_adv_uuids;
advdata.p_service_data_array = &service_data;
advdata.service_data_count = 1;

err_code = ble_advdata_set(&advdata, NULL);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

// Initialize advertising parameters (used when starting advertising).
memset(&m_adv_params, 0, sizeof(m_adv_params));

m_adv_params.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_NONCONN_IND;
m_adv_params.p_peer_addr = NULL; // Undirected advertisement.
m_adv_params.fp = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY;
m_adv_params.interval = NON_CONNECTABLE_ADV_INTERVAL;
m_adv_params.timeout = APP_CFG_NON_CONN_ADV_TIMEOUT;
}
