Advertising with white list without peer manager

Hi,

I am working on nRF52832 with SDK 15.3.0 with SoftDevice s112.
I am actually shifting from nRF51 to nRF52.
I have merged nrf51 custom code to nrf52, and able to advertise without bonding but not able to advertise with whitelist.

Adding advertising part of code.

i got error value to "sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure"  API NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM, i think the issue with Use of whitelist requested but whitelist has not been set,
* see @ref sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set.
So i think i have to add sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() API.


1. Where to add this API?


2. Is this sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() API saves peer address.

3. How sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() will react on power-on reset, this address need to set again?

4. Is anything needed after or before sd_ble_gap_whitelist_set() API.

5. Please check the code and tell me what is the reason of NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM.

I dont want to use peer manager, is there is any example for bonding/whitelist without peer manager which i can refer.
Please help me on this.

void LDNVM::GetWhitelist(UINT8 &count, ble_whitelist_t &whiteList)
{
    static ble_gap_addr_t* s_whiteListAddr[LDBONDNVM_MAX_BONDED_MASTERS];
    static ble_gap_irk_t* s_whiteListIrk[LDBONDNVM_MAX_BONDED_MASTERS];

    count = 0;
    MasterBond* p = &s_bondDB[0];

    if ((p->header != 0) && (IsValidBond((MasterBond*) p)))
    {
        count = 1;

        s_whiteListAddr[0] = &p->keys_set.keys_peer.p_id_key->id_addr_info;
        s_whiteListIrk[0] = &p->keys_set.keys_peer.p_id_key->id_info;
        whiteList.addr_count = 1;
        whiteList.irk_count = 1;
        whiteList.pp_addrs = s_whiteListAddr;
        whiteList.pp_irks = s_whiteListIrk;
    }
}
