Hi Simon,

Thanks for your valuable response.

I have implemented as per your suggestion , now it is working.

And addition to this i have followed below link also to implement advt init

Thanks And Regards,

Take a look at the main.c file of the examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_blinky example, which shows how to set the complete device name (BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME):

static void advertising_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t    err_code;
    ble_advdata_t advdata;
    .
    .
    // Build and set advertising data.
    memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));

    advdata.name_type          = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    .
    .
    err_code = ble_advdata_encode(&advdata, m_adv_data.adv_data.p_data, &m_adv_data.adv_data.len);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    .
    .
    ble_gap_adv_params_t adv_params;

    // Set advertising parameters.
    memset(&adv_params, 0, sizeof(adv_params));
    .
    .
    err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_adv_handle, &m_adv_data, &adv_params);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

This will gett the device name through ble_advdata_encode()→name_encode()→sd_ble_gap_device_name_get(), and then set it.

As mentioned by Mttrinh in this ticket, you can change the device name through the SVCALL sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(). Do it before calling ble_advdata_encode().

Best regards,

Simon
