Merging hids_keyboard with ble_uart examples

Hello DevZone, I am trying to combine the ble_app_uart with the ble_app_hids_keyboard example.

I have added the necessary libraries from the the uart code into the HIDS code, added include directories in the linker under "common" and the projects builds no issue. When I run it I get:

<error> app: ERROR 7 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM]

which directs me to:  advertising_init(), more specifically:

err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);

I am snagged here.

I have defined my UUIDs at the top as such:

static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] = {{BLE_UUID_HUMAN_INTERFACE_DEVICE_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE},
                                                        {BLE_UUID_NUS_SERVICE, NUS_SERVICE_UUID_TYPE}};

and I have adjusted the number of vendor specific UUIDs in the sdk_config.h

#define NRF_SDH_BLE_VS_UUID_COUNT 1

I have also made adjustments to the RAM start and RAM size in the linker:

<warning> nrf_sdh_ble: Insufficient RAM allocated for the SoftDevice.
<warning> nrf_sdh_ble: Change the RAM start location from 0x20002220 to 0x20002230.
<warning> nrf_sdh_ble: Maximum RAM size for application is 0xDDD0.
<error> nrf_sdh_ble: sd_ble_enable() returned NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM.
<error> app: ERROR 4 [NRF_ERROR_NO_MEM] at

Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

Thank you in advance.

  • I figured out that I don't need to put {BLE_UUID_NUS_SERVICE, NUS_SERVICE_UUID_TYPE} inside of m_adv_uuids[]

    My hunch is that it overflows the advertising packet of 31 bytes for some reason?

    The math doesn't add up:

    HID UUID = 16bit = 2 byte

    NUS UUID = 128bit = 16 byte

    TOTAL = 18 bytes....13 bytes remaining....perhaps there is more in there that I am aware of.

    The issue I am having now is that my UART Service is not discovered after the Central and Peripheral Pair.

    nRF52, SDK 15.2, SES, Soft Device 6.1.0 is my setup

    Cheers.
